For medical purposes, I was asked to submit an eye report along with the other tests... I got it done from my ophthalmologist but the very first part in the report is:

CHIEF COMPLAINT:

Wants a medical report for Canadian visa... Severe and constant discomfort in right eye... And burning sensation after right eye squint surgery

Followed by:
medical history - RE squint surgery in 2011
spectacle prescription - table showing all numbers, right eye 6/60 (which is very poor vision)
impression - tear break up time of 3 and 4 seconds (which is indicative of dry eyes)
prescription - a list of drops to be put in the eyes at so and so intervals


As it is, I have almost no vision in my right eye because it is amblyopic/lazy eye since birth (6/60 vision) which is evident in the spectacle prescription and now I am really scared that my visa could be rejected because of words like "severe and constant discomfort"... should I go ask the ophthalmologist to delete the whole para of "CHIEF COMPLAINT" and just put something like "Routine eye check-up" or maybe "frequent burning sensation in RE after squint surgery"?

The reason I'm getting paranoid is because even during my urine test, the other doctor asked me to submit another sample because it was slightly concentrated/had blood cells the first time.. and even second time, the same thing happened, so the doctor asked me to go for another non-urine based test to measure the creatine or something from the blood sample itself..

Please advice.. :(

Personally, I would ask him to remove the chief complaint but I dont think it means much. I pretty much failed the eye medical test when I took it, couldn't read anything from that range and they still gave me a visa.

Also, this is just an observation since I remember seeing your posts on the Quebec CSQ forum. You'd be better off applying for a program in Quebec since the Quebec Diploma Graduate Program is significantly easier than the CEC route. Since you already know french, all you need is a quebec diploma and you are automatically eligible for a PR. They issue u a CSQ within 15 days( yes, 15 days, no joke) if you have a quebec diploma and know B1 French. It's the easiest PR route in Canada by a significant margin.

Hi Josh21.. thanks for your response..

Well, I'm thinking the same regarding the report, prefer to be on the safer side by not mentioning things like "severe and constant"..

I think it's too late to apply for Quebec programs now, would have to waste another year for that.. Btw, Ontario Masters are awarded PR too after completion of the course.. so CEC isn't the only program.. Also, it's not as cold as Quebec.. :)
 
you should ask that consultant to remove those lines....
secondly, kindly tell are you a male or female????????

I was a doctor before. Chief complaint is essentially words coming out of patient's mouth. It has nothing to do with the doctor's observation. That section should not cause much trouble. However, if you can get the doc to remove it, that's even better. If s/he disagrees, can you have another opinion from another ophthalmologist? There are ways to bypass strong wordings in chief complaints. PM me if you want to know more about that. Good luck!
