For those who had the medical exam done in Canada, can you share your experience regarding the followings:
- If you had surgery previously, did you take the related medical reports to the exam?
- If not, were you ask by CIC to submit those reports after your doctor sent in your exam results? Or you were only asked to do more tests?
- Would Dr. be able to tell if a surgery was done because of cancer or because of regular nodule, from the scar appearance and test results?

Thanks

Lying on the immigration medical is fraud. Don't do it.

As you’ve been advised already, be honest. If you answer a question dishonestly, you could cause a lot of trouble for yourself. If you don’t get asked about previous illnesses or surgeries, then don’t offer any information. I’m pretty sure there would be some sort of questionnaire though, as part of the medical. Just answer the questions truthfully.

If you’re being sponsored as a spouse, you can’t be deemed medically inadmissible on the grounds of excessive demand to the health system anyway. Unless you have a illness or disease that could be a risk to people in Canada, you’ll be just fine. If you’re being sponsored under a different family class, there could be more stringent rules.

They do give out a questionnaire asking if you have had surgery. Be honest and it won’t be an issue.

Yes, it could definitely be an issue. This is a parent sponsorship app for someone who had surgery for cancer. OP has been asking how to lie about it to try to avoid medical inadmissibility.

Hence I was advising to be honest. Regardless of the facts, honesty is key in any process.

I am seeking advice because I am getting conflicting advice. Anyway, after done some research, the type of cancer my parent has is low risk and there are people having same type of cancer passed ME without even the need to do extra tests and go to specialist. So we will be honest.
