Questions:

We are currently looking into applying to live and work in canada. My partner is looking at applying as a skilled worker but is an insulin dependant diabetic and we are worried this may affect his application. We would be grateful if you could offer any advice on this. thanks
When you have the medical, I am worried that because I am 5ft4" & around 11 stone 5lbs that this may cause me to fail(?) I train 3 times a week at the gym, don't drink or smoke, so I think I am healthy but my weight is worrying me! I am trying to lose more weight but will it matter for the medical result if I don't? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
My partner & our two children are emigrating to New Zealand, we are unsure of which type of police certificate we should be obtaining as the pnc check shows that my partner was convicted of theft in 1991 when he was a juvenile and last year paid a fine for a public disorder offence. should we apply for the scotland check which would show no trace? we do not know which police certificate nz immigration require can you help?
We applied 26 months ago to emigrate to Canada with our two sons aged 20 and 23. 18 months ago my eldest son was kicked unconcious outside a nightclub and the lads responsible were eventually sent to prison for 18 weeks and 9 weeks respectively. Our younger son intervened to save his brother and hit one of the lads once rsulting in him being charged and convicted of using threatening words and behaviour. Will this affect our application? He is at university for the next three years so would probably continue to study in the uk. We are desperate for information as our application has been running for so long now. Neither my husband or I have any criminal convictions.
Hi. I am an Australian citizen and my partner has applied for an interdependency relationship visa. In the medical, blood was found in her urine microscopically. We went to a urologist and all the tests were negative - he said he thinks it is benign and that 10-15% of normal adults show this. We have sent those reports in and the other aspects of our application have now been approved. How long will we now have to wait and should we now worry about acceptance? I need to leave in a month to start my job at a University there.
My Partner and our two young children are emigrating to New Zealand we wish to apply for a working visa then apply for residence, My partner was convicted of theft of a cycle in 1991 when he was a juvenile, but last year 12/05 a public disorder offence which he paid a fine for, they said there would be no record, but it is on the pnc will we still be able to go
My partner is Australian, i am a UK resident, and we planned to apply for a defacto visa in Australia. He has bi-polar, and has just had 2 severe episodes resulting in him being detained against his will in hospital, will this affect him being allowed to be my sponser?

I am wanting to apply for an independent skills visa (136) to work in Australia as a nurse. When I was 16 I received a police caution for shop theft, do I need to declare this as I was not convicted but cautioned. I am now 29 years old. I am worried that I will pay over £800 for the application but could be refused, loosing all the money.

	95% of diabetics who are well controlled with no complications and good Treatment history are succesful with migration applications in my experience. I have never had a refusal for such a case - though there have been people I would not take on whose medical problems were too severe (i.e going to cost Australia too much money)

	I wouldnt be overly worried in your shoes. The medical officer for the commonwealth COULD ask for a nutritionist report into your height to weight ratio. To be honest you seem to me to be a fairly mild case. I would keep working on the gym sessions and you should be fine.

	I recomed gettig both and being very honest and up front abou these offences. They could get shirty if you try to cover it up - but would in all likeliehood be understanding if you are open and honest. Especially given the minor nature of the offending.

	I would not see this as a major hurdle. The decision maker will want back ground information for sure - but this seems pretty reasonable to me.

	I have come across this situation quite frequently- apparently a significant percentage of the population have this. If DIMA now have the consultants report it should be decidied on within the next 2-5 weeks (ish)

	As an Australian he has the right to sponsor you as his spouse - regardless of his medical condition.

	Hello Lorraine, You go to a "panel" of UK doctors approved by the Australian authorities. They do not ususally get access to your GP's records unless there is something in the examination to indicate the need for further investigation.

	They can find out - and your visa would be cancelled. Ask for a change of circumstances form - or download one. If it is serious you may need some professional help. Call Richard Gregan 0131 625 6906.

	It is unlikely you will be refused given the circumstances. You MUST declare it however. An attempt to cover it up will not be viewed favourably. DIMA could ask for evidence to show you are not a threat to society or a risk of reoffending. If this happens you should call us. If your case is simple and straight forward apart from this - do it yourself!
