Hi Group,

I needed an urgent advice regarding this situation. I gave my medicals but got high BP, and was referred to another physician for complete checkup. I thought I will give the medicals at the end when I am ready to submit the application. Now I am short of time. So I wanted to get your advice on these :-
1) I want to stop the clinic from sending the test report to CIC. (The clinic asked me to get another physician's report and submit at the clinic to complete the procedure). The reason being, I believe, I can reduce the BP by working out and following the required diet for coming 30 days, and do the medicals fresh in a month or two.
2) Presently, I have about 10 days to submit the application. In the website, when I sign-in, I see the options, 1. Continue with application, 2. Decline. Can I comfortably decline the ITA, and expect to be put into the pool again. I have provincial nomination, and it is valid till August 2017.
3) If I can decline ITA now, can I do this 'decline' till June 2017 (another 2 or 3 draws), and accept the ITA around June 2017. I have all the documents ready for submission. If I accept and submit the application including medicals within July 2017, so the CIC receives and confirm that the application is complete by August 2017 (till which time, the nomination certificate is valid), am I in the safe boat for the further processing of application or be declared ineligible for the nomination certificate getting expired during the processing of application.

Please advise me. Thanks in advance,

GV
 
The only way to stop the clinic from sending that report is to do another medical at another clinic, but there is no garantee that the clinic wont sen your high BP test and this could eventually lead to misrepresentation (you trying to hide your high BP) - so DON'T DO THIS!

My advice is to go ahead and do the ECG and other cardio tests and submit the report back to them. I've never seen someone get rejected for high BP. If however, they eventually find a condition that will require major heart surgery in the next fe years then this could be a reason for rejection, but just high BP is fine. I'm thinking here that's it's not dangerously high otherwise you'd already be on meds right?

Anyway, bottom line, if I were you I'd go ahead and continue with you current medical file, don't think about declining or resubmitting, just go and do the extra cardio tests and ride it out. Anything else could get you a big headache in the future. And realistically speaking, if you change you habits now to healthier habits to lower you BP this will only start working a few months from now (it's not immediate) so if you wait for you BP to lower you're likely to miss your nomination (as it will expire).
