CANADA IMMIGRATION PHYSICIAN IN INDIA INVESTIGATED

A Citizenship and Immigration Canada Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP) is being investigated in India, amid allegations that he helped two very ill applicants immigrate to Canada by providing false medical reports in exchange for bribes. The allegations, if proven, would call into question the integrity of the system of "outsourcing" medical examinations to local physicians. While most DMPs are professionals beyond reproach, the concerns are that , in some countries where corruption is the norm rather than the exception, the problem of fake medicals can be more widespread than originally thought. The investigation is ongoing. It may be more prudent that, in countries with high degree of corruption, medicals be conducted by a more closely scrutinized group of higher calibre physicians.
