Relocating to Iqaluit

The first step in your journey to Iqaluit will be your screening message. You and your family are coming to an Isolated Unit. For you to be an effective member of the JTFN team, there are a number of factors that must be assessed to ensure that you and your family can be safely posted here. CANFORGEN 177/05 251819Z NOV 05 details the requirements for a screening to an Isolated Post, the screening requirements for Dependants’ health and the requirements for Dependants’ dental. 

In order for your posting to commence, all requirements detailed in the CANFORGEN listed above must be considered by the appropriate authorities at your losing unit. The main reason for this is that there is limited access to medical and dental facilities in Whitehorse and there are a number of health conditions that cannot be properly addressed in these locations. Please ensure that a proper screening is performed on both yourself and your family – it will help avoid unnecessary complications during your posting to JTFN.
