I have a question regarding medical exam.
Hypothetically speaking, if someone was found to have infectious diseases such as active tuberculosis, will they be denied entry based on medical inadmissibility? Certain infectious diseases are curable specifically TB (tuberculosis), but it was mentioned specifically in medical inadmissibility. I'm just wondering if someone has experience with this type situation.
From what I read, procedural fairness letter will be issued if they feel that your application could be denied based on medical grounds. You are then given opportunities to provide information and evidence on the medical diagnosis and treatment to cure your disease etc.
I've seen a post someone whose mother was found to have cancer. But, that case would fall directly under the cost associated with the disease rather than the "danger to public health". Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Tuberculosis is somewhat prevalent in my old country and I'm just trying to prepare for the possibility of that diagnosis, although I do not believe my parents have TB. No one in the extended family has it and my parents have been living with them. The reason why tuberculosis is labelled "infectious" is because it can spread to others really fast through saliva and sharing utensils etc. That's why I do not believe that they have tuberculosis because no one in the family has it. If they did have it, someone else would have been diagnosed with it by now and my 70 years old dad would certainly shows sign of TB. A
Anyhow, I'm just trying to prepare for the worst while I hope for that best.
Thanks guys!
