@ Rawlin and others members
Applications for permanent residence will not be accepted if that person's health:
•is a danger to public health or safety; or
•would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada.
As you said, a child being under-weight is no issue, but if its due to an underlying disease(it may cause excessive demand on health services).
Everyone in CIC knows that a human body will have some or the other minor niggles regarding health.
For them its important to know if you carry any communicable disease like TB,etc coz they don't want to endanger the lives of its Canadian citizens.
Neither do they want excessive stress on their already burdened health care system.
Medical reports and x-rays for the medical examination become the property of the Canadian Immigration Medical Authorities and cannot be returned to you.
The doctor will not tell you the results of the medical examination. The doctor will let you know if you have a health-related problem.
IMHO its ok if you have diabetes or blood pressure(even canadians have them), but they should not be alarming, as they give rise to further complications and puts unnnecessary stress on health system.
They even look at things such as learning disabilities, autism and other conditions that may require additional health care or social services.
NOTE: Its very rare that you would be rejected on medical grounds, unless you have some major health disease. They want immigrants who can help them grow economically and not those who burden their health services, which in my idea is completely fair
