All of the above if your over 40.. Still will test your urine for protein and narcotics, THC, etc.. Blood will be liver enzymes and cholesterol.

Just curious, you were hired last September?

I was under the impression that the Cat 1 renewed your medical, guess Air Canada does their own renewals aside from the initial?
