If someone is on blood thinner, is that grounds for refusal
I believe it depends on against which condition blood thinner (antiplatelet or anticoagulant) is admistered. On the one hand, the condition itself may be cause excessive burden and surpass the established threahold on social or health service or may be the blood thinner can be very expensive on the other hand.

Can you please specify what blood thinner are on.
Aspirin
Clopodogrel
Prasugrel
Xarelto
Warfarin
Or what.
As a rule blood thinners are used for primary or secondary prophylaxis of thrombotic event such as ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction or pulmonary artery thromboembolism

Thanks for your prompt response, its Warfarin and its for Deep vein Thrombosis
Warfarin is an old indirect anticoagulant and has a lot of generic version worldwide and it's very cheap; therefore, you shouldn't worry about the cost of medication especially if your INR is effectively managed in the range of 2-3 which prevents thromboembolism of pulmonary artery.
So it will be persuadive for medical officer to know that you wouldn't need other expensive medications.
As for deep vein thrombosis I personally believe if you havnt developed lung infarction so far it is not a matter of refusal.
Good luck

Hi,

So did you get PPR..You didnt update us.


I agree with you on that, medical would have changed to "failed" instead of "passed" at that time and you would have been told straight away not to bother proceeding with immigration. Spoke to a doctor friend about it and he said it shouldn't be a ground for refusal because it poses no threat to others.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. Trust we would be fine and soon be celebrating PPR. Will let you know how it goes after I upload all the documents and submit the application.

Thanks for your responses.

It happened that i was diagnosed of Tuberculosis (TB) in 2011, and it was Treated accordingly, i never had any problem, 2 years later 2013 i had some chest pain and the doctors sent me for X-ray and a series of test,,, All Negative to TB,,, and they said the Pain was as a result if old scars from the healing of the TB as revealed from the X-ray, the pain gradually reduced after a couple of days with some medications,,,, and i have never had any related issue since 2013......
If i mention this this on my Application, Will this be a ground for refusal ?

i am sure the medicals will still find the scare even if i do not mention it.

According to the city of Toronto, your medical exam will find evidence of past TB. You will be required to do a special checkup after landing in Canada. Mention your medical history to the doctor or nurse performing the medical exam. As long as it is in the past and is inactive, you won't be refused. You have to get the special checkup done though, or you will lost status.
