Medical Examination for PR (live in, move to, office)

[ChrisL1969]

Hi everybody,

I will have an appointment for my ME to get my Permanent Residence.

My question is:

I have a lot of moles / nevis on my body - I let them check once or twice a year - and some of them were cut out.
Luckily there never was a sign of skincancer.
Will this be a reason for the ME-doctor not to let me pass the ME; what do you think?
(Because in the ME they are looking for "excessiv demand on the Canadian Health System", too.)

Otherwise I am in a good and healty condition!

Thanks for answering this question.

Chris

Very unlikely to be an issue

Going by what I experienced, I don't find anything to worry about. If you've serious ailments only then are you going to be considered a burden, from what I've read. Good luck!
If you may tell us, which country are you going to take the ME in?

Hi cornerguy1,
hi ibmersus,

thank you for your answers - makes me feel better.

I live in Germany, but I will move to Canada because of a job-offer.
So the ME will be somewhere in Alberta; probably Calgary or Edmonton???

Take care

Chris

Probably you found out already as you must have completed your medical examination by now, but I'll post this information here for record-keeping purposes.

On form IMM 1017 (where doctors record their findings), the physician can check these options:

A- Findings that are unremarkable or minor conditions which normally respond well to short term office/outpatient treatment. Surgery is not required. Applicant can be followed by a general practitioner and will have minimal requirements for hospitalization or social services. (paragraph continues).

B- Findings that require periodic specialist follow-up care but wich normally can be handled without resorting to repeated hospitalizations or the provision of social services (e.g., totally asymptomatic congenital or rheumatic heart disease where the requirement for hospitalization and/or surgical intereantion appears unlikely over the next 10 years, well controlled rheumatoid arthirits with a minimal funcitional impact. etc.) (paragraph continues).

C- Findings that may require more extensive investigations or care. Applicants where home/institutional supervision and care is needed; major or recurrent hospitalizations are likely; specialized hospital facilities such as dialysis units, cancer outpatient clinics; (paragraph continues).

D- Other conditions or disorders difficult to categorize or where there is a lack of sufficient medical information.
