Medicals and tests to provide.

[Usa2canada<3]

I did not declare that i was diagnosed bipolar in my immigration form because my diangosis to me did not seem like a huge or big issue medically. I know during covid right now immigration process are slowing down however i just wanted to get some information and be ahead of everything so when the time comes to go for medicals i am not scrambling around. Because ihave seen a psychatrist and been diangosed with bipolar do i need to contact all my doctors and get every test i have had many different docotors and untill i was in college i was going for blood tests every 6 months i am not currently on a medication that requires blood tests. And to add to this I am transgender spare your political or religious views please. I have been on horomones previously however due to covid i have not looked for anyone over here to continue my treatments. Does anyone know if i would need these test results too. Hippa laws in the us are very tight and secure and im not sure if i were to be able to get a medical report..

Hi! I just did my medicals a couple of weeks ago. The clinic I went to said that I should bring in all Rx medications I was taking, as well as any paperwork that showed any diagnoses of any condition. Now, I have asthma, which was diagnosed probably 35 years ago by my pediatrician. I did not request or provide that paperwork, nor was I asked to (although I did bring my meds in, which they did not ask to see although I found it helpful as I was asked about the dosage of one). The intake form was similar to what the American doctors have you fill out, meaning that on there you will mostly likely disclose your bipolar diagnosis and related treatment and medications, as well as your medical history concerning being trans.

If you are able to get records of diagnoses and major test results in time for your medical, you should bring those with. But honestly I wouldn't sweat it if you can't. Definitely have the year in mind when you were diagnosed and a rough timeline of any treatment/s between now and then. I'm sure your doctor will talk through your medical history; just be honest and thorough but no need to be nervous. These doctors only do immigration exams, and they have heard and seen everything.

As you may have read in other threads, if you're applying for immigration via spousal/family class, there is basically no reason they can reject your medicals. They want to make sure you aren't infected with TB, an STI, or HIV/AIDS (although I have seen people say HIV+ spouses were allowed in), and that you aren't a threat or danger to the residents of Canada. My doctor even said that they would discuss with me any negative/bad test results before submitting (if necessary), so we could decide the course of action moving forward. You may want to request the same of yours, if only for peace of mind.

Sorry this is lengthy, but hopefully you find it helpful!
