Hello,
I'm in the middle of applying for a position with 32 CER in Toronto. I've completed my CFAT/TSD with no problems, did the FORCE test this morning and am booked for interview and medical in the next two weeks.
However, I've had a problem with the FORCE - this may be a familiar story - my BP was way too high on both readings, around 162/80. At the doctor's my BP was approximately 130/80, which, although in the safe zone, worried my doctor because I'm a very fit 19 year old. I managed to convince her to sign the permission slip however, and as I said completed the FORCE test with no issues at all.
I am however a bit worried about the medical test - I have a bad case of White Coat syndrome and my BP and HR are always higher when being tested by a doctor. If I had a problem with my BP during the CF medical exam, I could potentially convince my doctor to sign another form - but she wants to test me over a period of months, and if she failed to sign another in the next two weeks that could delay my application.
What I'm wondering is (sorry about the essay): can the Annex D Physician Referral/FORCE permission form work for the medical test? That is, if I have an unusually high BP at the CF test could I show that form - or would I have to get my doctor to sign another, different form?
(Yes, I have gone through the "Blood Pressure superthread" and related threads from using the search function.)
Thanks!
