Parent had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome two years ago, will be asked to do more test? would this be considered excessive medical demand? will this impact the medical results? Thanks.

Are you applying as a spouse or common law partner? In that case, you cannot be disqualified based on the medical, no matter what. .

Carpal tunnel surgery will not make you medically inadmissible. As previously mentioned spousal sponsorship does not have a medical inadmissibility clause.

It's for parent.

It's actually for parent so not exempt from excessive demand. Would this cause any excessive demand concern? Would additional tests be requested?

The cutoff for medical inadmissibility is if the person's yearly treatment costs are expected to exceed $20,000 a year.

There's no special tests, they only test for infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis and syphilis during the medical exam. Carpal tunnels don't pose a threat to other people in Canada so that's fine in that sense.

Yes there can certainly be special tests but it is unlikely for carpal tunnel. Things like extra cardiac tests are routinely ordered.

A follow up question, friend had a surgery to remove carpal ganglion cyst, will that impact medical exam result?

Carpal tunnel syndrome and ganglion cysts are not medical conditions that require long follow ups and consume lots of health care resources.

So I doubt it would impact on the medical. I think they are more concerned with things like HIV, TB, Cancer, Renal failure, Children with severe congenital problems.

Thank you nayr69sg, @canuck78 any advice?

 

[canuck78]

Carpal tunnel won't be an issue. As @nayr69sg specified they are looking for more expensive chronic conditions.
