we went for our medicals yesterday....my bp was 150/98..high for me but the doc said it was white coat syndrome..i think he used the wrong arm cuff as one too small can give a wrong reading..anyway i am taking nothing to chance so i got my gp to fax earlier bp's which were fine...and i know nothing different whether we past our medicals or not..so frustrating..im guessing you wont know till london get them and they decide on your results whether to give u your PR or not...if anyone could shed some light id appreciate it

From the Regulations:

(b) a demand on health services or social services that would add to existing waiting lists and would increase the rate of mortality and morbidity in Canada as a result of the denial or delay in the provision of those services to Canadian citizens or permanent residents. (fardeau excessif)

Hi

With high blood pressure, the only extra thing that may be requested is a creatinine blood test to determine is there is any possible kidney damage. It is not a big deal.
