I am sorry but I have to disagree with you. One of my colleagues received a phone call from his doctor stating that they found traces of marijuana and that he can re-do his medical (as part of his PR application) at a later date. It was really nice that this British doctor phoned him up and told him rather than sending it out. So my friend re-booked another appointment a month later and he passed his medical (assumed so since he was granted his PR). We both assumed that it came up in his urine sample. Also, he told his doctor that he was amongst people smoking marijuana at a party the weekend before which is probably why it showed up in his medical. So there you have it LOL.
Well the doctor wasn't supposed to test for it! Kinda funny that he did. This is what is supposed to be tested from the DMP Handbook:
Provide appropriate age-defined laboratory investigations as specified in Medical Report: Section D; Laboratory Requisition (IMM 5419):
urinalysis (protein, glucose and blood by dipstick—if blood positive, then microscopic report required) for applicants five years and over;
serological test for syphilis for applicants 15 years and over;
HIV testing for applicants 15 years of age and over, as well as for those children who have received blood or blood products, have a known HIV-positive mother, or have an identified risk. An ELISA HIV screening test should be done for HIV 1 and HIV 2; and
serum creatinine if the applicant has hypertension (resting blood pressure greater than 140/90 mm Hg), a history of treated hypertension, diabetes, autoimmune disorder, persistent proteinuria, or kidney disorder.
Note: Excessive demand exempt applicants are not required to undergo serum creatinine testing even if the above-noted conditions are present.
