Hi.

A high value of BMI itself may not be problematic but as we know, overweight or obesity often cause other serious health issues such as cadiovascular diseases, diabetes, and/or arthritis. Therefore they give a pre-caution to potential applicants especially who intend to apply for PR, I believe.

Please read the form 1071i which mentions about 'being overweight'.

Good luck.
