I got ITA on 14th March and had my medical scheduled on 22nd March. I feel really anxious when anything important is due. so as expected my BP was high in hospital. nurse took it 3 times and was still high, Doctor suggested to come again on 23rd and see cardiologist along with additional Serum Cret. test. So I took rest for the night (worst night ever with my increased anxiety) and went again today morning to see Cardiologist. BP was again high :( .He did my ECG and ECO and said heart is all normal and just BP is high. Medical panel doctor said fine and go home. Hope this all goes normal, fingers crossed.

Hey,

I know you have asked the other person of his results and experience.
But just to let you know I passed my medicals. High BP if under 140/90 isn't a problem
I then went to my personal physician here just in case and my BP never went over 120/80. It is just the test with the pressure of blood pressure
I can easily ask people to relax which I did not do in the first place. But again, relax. At least try to

Good luck

I am currently working in Toronto on a temporary work permit and have applied for Express Entry last month. I got an invite and got my medical examination done in the process of submitting my PR application. During the exam, I was told that my BP is high and this is the first time I was reported about it. Panel Physician requested for Serum Creatinine test and submitted the documents after observing that the test results are normal. I submitted all my documentation about a week after my medical results were submitted by the panel physician.

After reading this thread and other related threads, I understood that the ECG and Echocardiogram are other common tests that were requested by CIC/Panel Physicians. At the moment, I am anxious about the furtherance tests that could be requested by CIC and have some questions around the processing timeline and anyone who had undergone a similar situation while they are here in Canada.
  • Are the medical exam results reviewed by CIC based on the date the Panel Physician submitted the results or based on the AOR (i.e. date I submitted my PR application post ITA)?
  • If anyone has taken ECG and Echocardiogram tests in Toronto or Canada, how much would they cost?
Please share any information that could help me better understand what I should be expecting. I sincerely appreciate your help. Thanks.

I had a BP reading of 146/93 - then the nurse redid it after 10 mins and it was 139/92. My doctor never asked me to do any additional test. And I passed my medicals without any issue. Just FYI for all future applicants

Hello everyone,

I did my upfront medical exam in a different state than the state I live in US. The blood pressure was high (150/110) but the panel physician didn't do ECG or any other additional tests. But, now they are saying I need to see a Cardiologist and get a report from him regarding the high blood pressure and get tests done if recommended by him. Other than that, they can't submit my e-medical. Now my question is:
1. Can I get an appointment from any regular cardiologist or he/she should be a panel physician set by IRCC?
2. What tests are usually done in this case and how much would be the cost in US?
