Hi! I've applied for FSW and received my AOR today (July 19th). I have a high BMI (slightly obese), but do not have any other medical conditions such as diabetes. Is this likely to be a cause of a possible rejection of my application?
Can high BMI be a factor in application rejection?

oh man that's funny ! lol.
no i dont think you could get rejected for being overweight. if it makes you feel any better, people with diabetes get a PR, so you're far better than that being just slightly obese to put it in your words.
but i mean you really did make me LOL with that question!
good luck with your application anyways !
ahh thank you! I'm glad this made you laugh, lol, but I was genuinely worried about whether the high BMI would let me pass my medicals.
besides BMI is a terrible measure dude. I mean two people of the same height and same weight will be of the same BMI but the way they look can be completely different in terms of body composition. So no dont worry about it at all !
I am working on my immigration and I was worried about the same thing. I am from the states and my BMI is high. I am married to an Canadian for over six months and been with him for over 5 years and I decided to get covered with health insurance from Cigna Global Health Plans and was denied because of my weight and was told when I drop off weight and have a better BMI to call them back. Needless to say I was offend.
Your immigration application won't be refused for this reason. I'm assuming your Canadian partner is sponsoring you for PR.I am working on my immigration and I was worried about the same thing.

Yes he is. We have looked over all our options. I do not want to become a citizen because I want to keep my US citizenship because I am 60 years old and want to keep my benefits for when I retire And after reading over all the paper work I am assuming the Family Class Act. is the best option for us.
Family Sponsorship / spousal sponsorship is most likely your only option given your age.
You don't lose US citizenship by becoming a Canadian citizen. You can be a dual citizen.
