Section 31 — Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations: Public health

Before opining whether a foreign national’s health condition is likely to be a danger to public health, an officer who is assessing the foreign national’s health condition shall consider any report made by a health practitioner or medical laboratory with respect to the foreign national; the communicability of any disease that the foreign national is affected by or carries; and the impact that the disease could have on other persons living in Canada.
