Medical Exam and Fibroadenoma

[Jello]

Hello! I am currently beginning the rough process of immigrating to Canada to be with my husband.

I am 21 years old, and have had a fibroadenoma (from my understanding, a common and more-often benign breast lump) for about a year. I'm currently in the process of getting it tested here in the USA, before the medical examination for immigration.

So my question is: As long as all of the tests from the doctor show that it is benign, I shouldn't encounter any problems with the medical examination or Canada Immigration, right?

If so, would it be ideal to bring ultrasound films and a doctor's letter/result with me when going to the medical examination to prove it's been tested and benign?

Otherwise, I'm quite healthy!

Thank you for any thoughts~

You won't have any problems in terms of immigration whether your test result is positive or negative. Spouses cannot be denied for a medical condition that may place excess demand on the medical or social system. You could only be refused if you have communicable disease like active TB or if you had a psychiatric condition that makes you a danger to society.

Yes, it would be a good idea to bring any lab results or medical results to your appt. with the DMP.

I would just be focusing on your own health and getting yourself healthy right now. Best of luck to you.

ariell is right - sponsored spouses/common-law partners and dependent children are excessive demand exempt. You cannot be refused PR for a benign (or even cancerous) fibroadenoma. I went through the same thing about 9 years ago - very scary until we found out it was benign. The only thing about the surgery that I remember was waking up and thinking they couldn't possibly have even started yet - but they were finished. And the pain meds they gave me were really nice - I was very relaxed . . . for days! It's no wonder that stuff is addictive!

Like ariell says - take care of yourself and don't worry about potential consequences from CIC. It'll be fine.
