Hi everyone!

I am just curious what all they test for at the medical? From my reading I gather:

Tb test (xray)

External physical (including genitals to look for warts etc)

Blood test for syphilis

Vaccine check

I have also read on other forums that they also do a drug test, but I can't find that on an official website.

Is there anything else they check on the blood test? White blood count, hormone levels, cholesterol... Etc etc

I work in healthcare and am just curious aa to what all they are testing for. Anyone insight is much appreciated to quell my curiosity :)

X-ray for TB

Blood test for syphillis (that's it, nothing else. They don't check for cholesterol, b12 etc)

For me I had no external test but I've read some places do it. He just asked me verbally how my health was.

Vaccine check

They don't do a drug test.

I didn't have to remove my underwear during my exam either. Those that have, on the board, have normally posted it's a quick "yep yer a girl/boy" type of check.

There's no checking for genital warts lol where did you hear that? That would be an interesting reason to deny immigration though wouldn't it?

We had a quick peek in the pants (me and the kids, too) to make sure we were what we said we were I guess.

Discussion about health in general, blood work for whatever it was - we don't see those results, and then the X-ray.

humm interesting!

I read a few people saying that they had been denied a visa due to failing a drug test at the point of the medical.

Thanks for your help :)

I think some countries require a drug test, Canada would only require one if you use, medicinally or otherwise.

I got felt up a little bit. Nothing too serious. Just above the waistband action. The doc probably saw how hungover I was and thought he should check for a distended liver.
