Hello all,

Title. Over the past one year, I have had frequent medical appointments - walkin, internal medicine, emergency etc Besides that, I have also done alot of tests - blood work, cardio vascular tests, 1 mri, couple of ultrasounds, 1 colonoscopy. Safe to say that I have more than exceeded the upper limit on medical expenses though I cleared the medical and do not have any ailment.

Is this possible grounds for a rejection? It has been four months since I applied. I dreading this scenario.

Not likely : ) You would need a diagnosis of an ongoing condition that would have high costs over the next 5 years.

You can read more about it here, but I think this is one thing you can stop worrying about : )
