Does anyone know what to expect in the actual 'medical' part of the visa process.
On what medical grounds would they turn down an application?

Essentially they are looking for something which may cost the canadians some money to treat you when you are there. They are keen on blood pressure and they look closely at chest x-rays.
I have had a medical in the UK and one in Canada, I think the UK one was much more thorough.
