Scars on arm reason for visa rejection?

[Sanjida Afrin Tina]

My teenage daughter too having the same problem, self inflicted wounds, the reason why she need a psychiaratic tests by end of this month. As a parent, I am not aware that she's been on a hardtimes cause I am living abroad . And this is our final stage, a medical requirements for our permanent residency application so I can take them here. She said that she was bullied and she cant manage it, the reason why she did this just to minimize the emotional hurts shes suffering.
Any advise how to deal this. I am so worried that maybe she will failed it and make the refusal for our application.

Hey any update in your case? Did your daughter get PR?

Hey guys,
I’m new to the forum. I am applying for Canadian study visa and yesterday I went for my medical examination. Everything went on well except for the last section where we get examined by a doctor. She noticed the scars I have in my left arm and made a note of it on my file.
The cut wounds were self inflicted but it was out of impulse nothing serious. I’m not suicidal or crazy. But I’m afraid if my report would have issues because of this.
PS: I didn’t reveal that it was self inflicted because I just happen to tell her the same reason I told everyone else who notices the scar that it was a minor accident. I’m really worried.

Hello! I am in the same situation as you, today i went to saint lukes medical for my examination and the doctor noticed my scars from long time ago. I told her that my scar was from an accident but the doctor did not believe me and she told me she will report my story as false on the medical report.
Can you give me some advice and tell me about your experience on how you passed the interview?
I am very worried and just want to do eveything i can to pass my visa interview.

Hello! Did you also lied to the doctor that your scars was from accident? Can you give me some advice how did you pass the interview? I am really freaking out right now

Don't worry. I have similar case too, cut marks on my arm. The physician took a good look at it and grilled me with heaps of questions. She asked how long ago was it? I go, 'ohhh been at least 2 decades when I was a teenager. You know, teenage craze blah blah blah.' and then she goes, what kind of material I used, did I get infected etc etc. She took long notes. It never was a concern till she took the notes. I was worried.

End result, I passed medical and got study permit approved.

Don't worry.
All the best![/QUOTE

The scars wouldn't have been an issue if you had told the truth. However, by lying about it, you may have created problems for yourself. Lying on anything in the application is misrepresentation. At this point, you will just need to wait and see what happens. You can request GCMS notes.

Please tell me what you said exactly. What was the reason you gave

Posting this here too.

I have an extremely unique case. I have self-harm scars from when I was around 15. I did my Master’s from Canada so I did go through a medical around 5 years ago. The radiologist noticed my scars when I went in for the chest x ray. He asked me what they were and I told him “teenage mistake”. He didn’t bother after that and did not report it to the physician either (I’m assuming because she didn’t ask me any questions).
Now I’m applying for my PR visa and I’m a bit nervous about them. I haven’t self-harmed in the last 12 years but I am worried about the following things:

1) Will they treat me differently this time since I’m applying for a different visa class?
2) Will they presume I’m lying because there may be no notes of this from the last medical? I’ve never been to an ER, nor have I ever seen a psychiatrist. So there’s no record of this. Some members from my family and friends know but that’s about it.

Update: I showed the scars to the physician and told them this was 12 years ago. He says it’s fine. “We’re not looking for self-harm scars and they are pretty common in teenagers.”
Fingers crossed for the rest of it

No unless the surgery was due to an expensive medical condition.
