Hello @legalfalcon
Recently, I did a medical test and my blood pressure was 130/90. All my other tests were normal. I asked the doctor if my blood pressure was normal and he said that it's normal. He measured it only once and didn't even request any further tests. Usually my blood pressure is around 120/80 but I was little bit feeling nervous when I visited the clinic.
However, I was reading the "hypertension" manual of IRCC https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/department/partner/pp/pdf/imei_hypertension.pdf
It's mentioned that
High blood pressure is defined as a repeated blood pressure (repeated 3 times) measured in the doctor’s office, of: -
≥140mmHg systolic pressure; or -
≥90 mm Hg diastolic pressure.
My questions are
-1- As per the above statement in red, can I understand that my blood pressure is considered a "hypertension" since my diastolic pressure is 90? The clinic told me that if my blood pressure was 140/90 or more, it is considered as hypertension.
-2- Might IRCC reject my application because of this 130/90 blood pressure?
-3- Can people with hypertension still pass the medical test?
-4- If everything is alright in the medical exam and only there is a relatively high blood pressure (like 130/90), can this causes inadmissibility?
-5- What are the cases that are considered as "excessive demand" cases? Can blood pressure of 130/90 causes an "excessive demand"?
Thanks for your usual help!
A high blood pressure by itself does not lead to medical inadmissibility. To read on medicals and medical inadmissibility see https://bit.ly/3bhRdFm
Also, if any additional testing is required, IRCC will inform you panel physician.
