What health evidence must potential economic immigrants provide?

• A. Proof that they are in good health
• B. Proof of good credit
• C. Proof of funds for a year
• D. Proof of language proficiency

Answer: (A)

Health checks are used to screen newcomers for medical conditions that could affect public health or place an extra burden on health and social services. For economic immigrants, providing proof that they are in good health is the standard health evidence required. This usually means completing a medical examination with an authorized physician and receiving a health certificate that confirms you meet the health criteria. The other options focus on finances or language ability, which are important for settlement but are not health evidence. The key idea is that governments require a health assessment to protect public health and ensure newcomers can integrate without unforeseen health-related costs.
