worried about passing medical
 

we have just started on a RSMS visa, and my wife's employers are dead keen on her coming over asap.
My problem is that I have Angina, I have been on medication for about 3 years.
I haven't had any problems for about two years, and got the all clear after a angiogram in Nov 2004.
Has anyone had anything like me and got through (looking for some reassurance)
Great site...........best wishes to all

Hi there.

I don't know about angina, it might be worth checking on the DIMIA website and downloading the medical form and checking the requirements.

I know they are hot on HIV, Hep B, TB and anything that can cost the medicare system vast amounts.

Lots of people emigrate with health issues and I dont think it means automatic exclusion just perhaps a category B.

Good luck anyway.

As the doctor who carried out my medical explained, they are not looking to pass or fail you just evaluate if you are going to be a financial burden on them. Obviously if you have HIV or TB you are a risk but besides that I don't think they are that bothered.
My form was full to overflowing on medical issues I have had throughout my life but I'm still confident I will be ok.
