I'm currently going through a similar situation. I sat down with a psychiatrist a few weeks ago and will see him again as many times as necessary to convince him I am low risk. I don't understand why it's going to cost you this much. I completed part of a psychiatric assessment at the end of my...
Well I did say "They could even charge applicants for visits..."
It may even be profitable to do this given how many applicants require specialist attention and currently most applicants get the government to pay for their specialist visits by means of a doctor's referral anyway.
I was thinking...
I'm very surprised how quick hey are to turn down applicants for health reasons. The recruitment medical sections of the CAF seems like the biggest barrier to entry in a system that needs to keep up with a 5-10% annual attrition rate. Would it not be easier to hire or contract different...
Thank you both for the information.
CanadianTire, having the testing system set up in that way makes a lot of sense. If my current doctor were to say my risk of recurrence is high then why put a strain on a specialist's schedule that I wouldn't be seeing otherwise.
And even if my doctor says...
Thank you for the response.
I am absolutely going to appeal until I am no longer able to generate any new evidence of my health.
I promise I am not upset and I understand that no one is responsible for my past but myself.
What I mean by 'cruel' is as follows:
The RMO states that my risk of...
So I take it you're saying I don't have a chance at a successful appeal.
Why even allow me to appeal then? The RMO isn't even requesting that I see a psychiatrist, just that my doctor says that I am not at a high risk of recurrence.
The RMO also could have stated that I cannot appeal for a year...
Thanks a lot for the detailed response.
Based on what you've said I can only assume that my file would have initially made its way into the "further investigation required" pile and it was processed in 2 weeks.
I was denied based on unknown likelihood of recurrence and am seeing my doctor(the...
Thanks for the reply.
My understanding of the time it takes to process medicals is that if you are in good health, your file is processed at an expedited rate. I've also learned that appeals are given very low priority. If your appeal makes a strong case for your good health, is your appeal...
I'm going to be appealing the unfit ruling on my medical file. I'll be submitting documents in about two weeks. I was told it may take up to 6 months for a decision to be made on the appeal, yet I was told the same thing about my initial medical decision which only took 2 weeks. Do appeals...
I'm currently awaiting a doctor's appointment to have my GP fill out a Psychiatric Information for Recruitment form(as seen in my previous post) and I am trying to remain hopeful that my application will not be rejected but as far as I have seen, the chances of my application being accepted...
Thanks a lot for sharing your story.
I appreciate your response but I am wondering why they would even request more information from my doctor if they're just going to outright reject my application anyway. I'm sure my doctor can provide me with information that shows that i have grown and...
The counseling was intended to help me deal with a bad breakup as stated, it wasn't a mental health issue. It was an attempt to speak with a third party and receive advice, but I found that elsewhere.
Thank you, mariomike.
There is a lot of useful information in those threads, and it seems like an appropriate answer to my original question would be: "Even if my doctor provides an extremely favourable review, it is still up to the discretion of the RMC staff."
