I have a spousal application in process in London but have been subject to a couple of additional medical requests to rule out TB. I'm confident that I do not have TB but I understand CIC need to tick all their boxes and whatnot. I just received the second request today and expect to have it turned around within a week.
My issue now is that I intend to move to Canada in mid-September and it's rather unlikely that everything will be received AND approved by CIC by then. So I am not convinced that I'm likely to be approved from a medical point of view on the date that I intend to enter Canada.
I had anticipated, even without these medical-related delays, that perhaps I would have to enter initially as a visitor with dual intent and then activate PR later once it was approved, but the idea of not even being approved medically when I try to enter seems risky. I read the operational bulletin on dual intent and I see that medical inadmissibility is one of several reasons that one can be denied temporary residence under dual intent.
What's not clear to me right now is whether I am, as things stand right now, medically inadmissible. Is someone considered medically inadmissible until determined to be medically admissible? Or is someone considered just 'undetermined' until finally being determined as medically admissible or inadmissible.
I hope this question makes sense. To me, this seems like the difference between me being granted entry or turned away.
Any insights would be very gratefully received.
