Can history of kidney stones be a problem for study permit ?

[vineet7kumar]

Hi All.
I went for a pre-medical checkup for the purpose of applying for study permit for fall 2011. In the medical history form, I honestly declared that I had a minor kidney stone about an year ago (May 2010). (Though I did not have any operation or anything - since it was minor so doctor's did not advice an operation). The physical examiner noted on my form "history of renal calculus" .
Now I am a bit tensed if this could cause any issues or delays in my visa processing. Please help. Thanks in advance

Regards
Vineet Kumar

Very doubtful. Many people get kidney stones, most only once and it is not an indicator of renal failure or something more serious. You should be fine. Sorry about the stones. Those things are PAINFUL!!
