Objective. To examine the predictors of prostate cancer screening among immigrant men aged ≥ 50 years who hold legal permanent residency status. Methods: A modified version of the behavioral model of health services use for vulnerable populations. A logistic regression model was used to test predisposing, enabling and need factors related to prostate cancer screening among older immigrant men. Results: Region of origin, access to medical care, age, education and visa adjustment status were significant contributors to the multivariate model. Discussion: The important role played by respondents' access to medical care and culture in accessing prostate screening is discussed as well as the importance of respondents' visa adjustment status. Conclusion: Practitioners working with immigrants should be cognizant of the role culture plays in preventive healthcare behaviors.
