Medical Exam Query (what do they look for)

[butetebetlog]

Hi, everyone. I would like to ask people who have had the medical exam already or anyone who knows about the procedure. Do you know what specific disease they are looking for in their standard tests? I suppose blood borne diseases such as HIV/AIDS and chronic viral hepatitis would be included in the screening. Am I right? What else do they look for and what other SPECIFIC medical conditions would make an applicant inadmissible other than the ones that would pose as a public health danger (Tuberculosis, STDs, blood borne diseases)?

Thank you!!

Apart from the ones which have the potential to pose public health danger, CIC looks for the ones which may cause draining of excessive $$$ from the public health system in the near future. The guideline is upto $5000 expense on healthcare in a year is ok.
