HYPERTENSION

[reydon123]

Hi to all.  My common law partner was just recently diagnosed with high blood pressure or hypertension and started on one blood pressure medication.   He will undergo blood tests to find out what is the main cause of his hypetension and will check his BUN and CREATININE as well to know his kidney function.

We are just waiting for medical request at this time from CIC-MANILA. I want to know how it will affect our application and will it a ground for not issuing  the visa?

Regards.

No, it will not affect your application. As per Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, there are  three health grounds for inadmissibility: danger to public health, danger to public safety, and excessive demand on health or social services. And I don't think hypertension can be classified into these 3 grounds for inadmissibility. Neverthless, if there could be a way to have a healty medical result, much better. Thanks.

It will not effect if the kidney function is normal and if he can control the BP. If the creatinine is not normal then it may cause problems.

that's right if there's a problem with the kidney then it is a ground for refusal like that of a Filipina Caregiver who got recently refused with her PR application because her daughter has kidney problems and is undergoing dialysis, it was featured in The Province. so pray that its nothing serious to get your PR... good luck!

Ryetams is right.Hypertension is a problem if it is associated with kidney involvement.Secondly if there is eye involvment,otherwise "essentiale hypertension" will not make a person unfit in medical examination.

thats good to know! happy living in canada!

the reason why i wished to know is that both husband and i have hypertension - but he has +1/+2 protein showing up on his urine.
its making us very anxious ( you will see that if you check all our recent posts  )

he spoke to someone and they said could be because he is working out in the gym everyday, stress and heavy protein diet.

but we are worried that it could still be due to some kidney issues...we are going for serum creatinine next weekend only - until then we are nervous!

we have bought dipsticks to check blood, sugar and protein in urine at home and it is constantly showing high for him...
