Are pate exams in cache as blended smokers

[hezshtwo2x1a]

uld a human who has used marijuana be required absence to have their head surveyed?
That is the answer that arose this past summer when a lawyer in my office received a quite unusual request from a Canadian visa post relating to the application for permanent residence of one of our clients.
The candidate underwent the standard medical test namely entire planning immigrants must take before creature approved for landing in Canada. During the course of the test, the doctor asked him whether alternatively no he had ever accustomed drugs.
The applicant confessed to the use of marijuana.
This reply led immigration officials to publish a letter apt our customer querying him to undergo psychiatric evaluation, by his own expense, in order to grant the persisted processing of his applying.
In 23 annuals of train I had not listened of such a apply for what seemed to be naught more than one ordinary use of marijuana.
Because this request was, in my experience, unprecedented and for there was nothing in the facts of the case that seemed to justification such an invasive exam, I asked the immigration department’s media human whether Canada is now requiring all intending immigrants who admit to marijuana use to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
According to Melanie Carkner, spokesman for CIC
-marijuana use tin be associated with [other] psychiatric conditions. A psychiatric report tin be requested to see at the possibility of …the presence of more than one ailment or health condition in an individual by the time;
-medical denials would not be based solely above the quondam use of marijuana but could be based on a condition meeting the meaning of ‘substance abuse’; and
-the estate, trafficking or cultivating of cannabis is illegal in Canada and that a conviction in narrative to this may render a person inadmissible to Canada.
She didn’t instantly answer my question as to whether or not there was some new policy or command in the path marijuana consumers are screened from a medical admissibility point of outlook.
Since the immigration department’s authorization is immediately so tightly administered by policy instructions from Ottawa I doubted that a medical officer or a visa officer would take it upon themselves to order a psychiatric evaluation fall butmeone who simply admits to recreational marijuana use.
My suspicion that this request might be reflective of some new policy was strengthened this weekend while I read a anecdote in the National Post almost the case of Chris Tarttelin. In 2008, Tarttelin, 37, moved from the UK with his wife and 2 children to go as a microprocessor programmer in Saskatoon under our foreign employee procedure. When he applied for permanent dwelling he underwent the usual medical test and candidly admitted to using marijuana while he was 18. He also was asked to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
This seems to me to be more than equitable sheer coincidence. The reply I received from immigration officials seems even less ample now.
I am wondering if our immigration minister, Jason Kenney,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and his Tory colleagues are attempting to detect new ways to refuse the applications of admitted cannabis users. I would like to hear from anyone readers who have had a alike experience.
After all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s a morsel crazy to muse that a person might be lunatic just because they have tried marijuana. Don’t you think?
