Alright, so I have a very stupid question...

You know when some people write that they haev had their medical and it was approved... Well, how do you find that out if the enveloppe they give you is sealed? Does the doctor tell you everything is alright?

I know a lot of people will be rolling their eyes at me, but I'm just curious...

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

I think you're referring to the checklist you send back to the consulate? If so, you're only marking that the medical is done (or in my case, that it will be done by the time you get the interview).

Actually, it is not a stupid question at all! I worried about this too, wondering if I would get to the interview and they would tell me I was denied because I failed the medical (since I couldn't see the results and had no idea what they were). I've since learned that if you do have a problem that requires attention they will not complete the medical but contact you so you can do the follow up. Then, when the follow up is done and they have proof, they will sign off on the medical. So, in cases of the immigration medicals ' No News is Good News" :).

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Yes, not silly and you are absolutely not the first person to ask - so don't worry :)

Also have to keep in mind that the Panel Physician is a real Doctor, not someone working for the U.S. government - per se.

Hi Vero and Chris,

I think they will let you know if the results are not normal.So that you can do something about it.I have rarely read cases where people got denied cos of an medical,but it is a good question.I made sure I asked a lot of times to my doctor if normal meant ALRIGHT,and not a vague something.

I hope all of you don't mind me posting on here.I am not from Canada but I like stopping by here sometimes.

I dont think anybody minds at all!! Welcome to our happy dysfunctional canuck family!!!

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

I have gone for two medicals in Toronto (I didn't activate my visa and had to go back) and both times the doctor told me the "everything is fine" and "there will be no problem" so if they don't say anything...don't be afraid to ask.
