Every country that is a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has medical examiners approved by the Canadian government to conduct pilot medical examinations.

You will be required to submit your medical certificate to the Waterloo-Wellington Flgiht Centre no later than the end of August, prior to beginning your academic studies at Waterloo. Please note the process may take 2-3 weeks to complete and wait times vary to see the approved medical examiner. It is recommended that you initiate this as early as possible during the admissions cycle.
