Occult blood - Urine Report

[GokulGuruprasad]

Dear all,

Went for my health check-up today and everything else was normal except the urine test which detected the presence of "occult blood" on it. The guys took a second urine sample and gave me the eMedical acknowledgement nonetheless.

When asked about the 2nd urine report, they said they'd get back to me in case anything else was needed.

I'm really worried now. Does anybody know whether that leads to rejection?

It could be indicative of a larger issue with your kidneys, or it could be routine and commonplace. The thing is, there is no way to know without further tests done.
In general, medical problems can create issues, but they are not automatic rejections (not unless they are something extremely severe that would endanger Canadian public and/or create a major strain on the Canadian economy). Assuming there is an issue, you will probably be given the chance to demonstrate how and why you plan to take measures to minimize any impact on the Canadian healthcare system, before a decision is made on your profile.

I had (I think) the same problem, the percentage of the red blood cells in my urine was too high (12+?),
they didn't repeat the test for me, but I was worried to fail the medicals. But, as my signature shows, I have
already passed my medicals.

That said, I suggest you to go and checkup your kidney!

 

[GokulGuruprasad]

Thanks for that guys. I'll get my kidney checked out just in case. Great to know that this is probably not a direct rejection.

I also feel that this could be due to the loose motion and gastric issues I'm having for the past day or two, but unsure.

Would they ask for additional tests right now before further proceeding or right at the end? The reason I ask is that I might be in and out of Bombay for the next almost a month.

Also, what do they mean by "demonstrate"? Do I need to get some additional tests done from some local lab to show that my kidneys are fine? Or, would I have to go back to the same place that did the eMedical screening and tell them to run additional tests?

Or, is it best to wait for a VO to get back to me on the way forward?

I don't know how medical test timelines usually run, but generally, they ask for medical tests before they move on to the next step of processing your application, I believe. You always get 30 days to respond to any request they make, so don't worry too much about being in Bombay when they contact you.

By demonstrate, I believe you are asked to show how you will take measures to ensure your problem is not going to strain the healthcare system- that plus the results of your additional tests are used to make a final decision on your application.

I guess whether they pass it or not is secondary right now. Shouldn't you be doing more tests (yourself) to reject any serious health issues??

 

[GokulGuruprasad]

My meds just went to "Review in Progress". Hope they get set to "Passed" tomorrow.

Yes, will be going to my family doctor this weekend either way.

There is no need to panic. Did your hospital call you before they submitted your reports to CIC ? normally they do and share the findings if they find any issue with the medical report. If they have not called, you can call them and enquire. There is nothing to worry, the primary purpose of medical is to ensure you are not a burden on Canadian economy as PR. Cheer up and all the best.

Thanks mate. They haven't called back. So I figured that they probably didn't find anything amiss with the 2nd report. Or, perhaps to just let sleeping dogs lie.

Anyway, just called them. They said "if anything is abnormal we'll call you."

And I said, "oh, ok, sorry, I thought you'd call either way"

Medical still at "Review in progress". Got a ghost update email last night, but no change in status.
