Transport Canada Aviation Medical Exams in Edmonton

Yes. Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID, your current aviation medical certificate (if applicable), a list of any medications you’re currently taking, and your glasses or contact lenses if you use them.

If you wear hearing aids or have any recent specialist reports, please bring those as well. Having complete documentation ensures your exam can be processed without delays. If you’re unsure about specific items, our clinic can provide a checklist ahead of your visit.

A typical aviation medical exam takes about 30–45 minutes. If you require additional testing or documentation (such as ECG or bloodwork), the appointment may be longer. We aim to make your visit efficient while ensuring all Transport Canada requirements are met thoroughly.

Arriving a few minutes early helps us complete registration and any pre-exam paperwork. We’ll guide you through each step so you know exactly what to expect during the process.

No. Aviation medicals are not covered by public health insurance. This is a private-pay service. Please contact our clinic to confirm current pricing for your specific license class. We will provide you with an official receipt for personal or employment reimbursement, if applicable.

Some employers or flying schools may cover this cost, so check before your visit. Payment is typically due at the time of your appointment.

Possibly. Having a medical condition does not automatically disqualify you. Many conditions can be approved with proper documentation and regular follow-up. Our physician will evaluate your situation individually and may refer you to a specialist or request additional reports to support your certification.

Transport Canada often issues conditional approvals if your condition is well-managed. We’ll work with you to gather all necessary evidence to strengthen your application.

Yes, but it’s important to act quickly. If your medical certificate has expired, you cannot legally fly or perform duties until it has been renewed and approved by Transport Canada. Book your appointment as soon as possible to avoid delays in your flying or work schedule.

Depending on how long it has been expired, additional assessments may be required. Renewing early prevents last-minute stress and scheduling conflicts.

We recommend renewing your certificate 90 days before it expires. This allows sufficient time for the exam, submission to Transport Canada, and any follow-up requirements. Late renewals can delay your ability to fly or work, especially if additional medical documentation is needed.

Early renewal also helps avoid the risk of your certification lapsing unexpectedly. Our staff can set up reminders to help you stay on track each renewal cycle.

Yes. As a certified CAME provider, we will submit your results directly to Transport Canada on your behalf after your exam is complete. If any additional testing is required, we will guide you through the process to avoid delays in certification.

We use secure submission systems to ensure your information is protected. You will also receive a copy of your results for your own records.

Yes. Category 1 exams for commercial pilots include more rigorous testing and shorter renewal intervals than Category 3 exams for private pilots. We tailor each exam based on your license type, age, and individual health profile to meet Transport Canada’s specific requirements.

Our team will review your licensing category before your appointment so the correct tests are performed. Following the right exam type helps avoid unnecessary re-testing or delays.
