Immunization Records for Children

Is there a need to do immunization for the kids before entering canada as immigrant as they will not do school yet?

Is this part of the IO to be ask?

although they have done this during their young age as a child.

Hi

  1. No, but the if the children are not immunized, when they attend school, and there is an outbreak, they will be sent home. In Ontario it appears that is a requirement and proof is needed.

"If your child requires an exemption from the immunization requirements for school attendance, please speak to your local public health unit. Children who are exempt from immunization are at increased risk of disease and may be removed from school during a disease outbreak. "
