Hi all,
I got my CoPR in April. Will be flying to Canada on 11th sep to do my landing. (Will stay for 5 days and then come back).
On the CoPR, it's written that we need to inform them in case of significant change in health, before arriving.
my question: I got stones in kidney, though they are small in size. It was diagnosed last week only. Doc says it will be dissolved by medicines. I am taking those for 1 month. It doesn't look like a significant change in health conditions to me. Is there any guidelines on what should be reported? Not sure what to do. Pls advise.
Well, if you are taking your medicines with you to Canada, which you probably are, you will need to declare them upon landing, and if you declare those medicines without first having intimated CIC about a change in health status, it could get... messy.
I recommend that you let your VO know about your diagnosis, and also make it clear that a month's prescription of medicines, which you already have, is apparently going to be enough to dissolve the stones, without any further medical care needed.
That should be enough, and it should cover you.
