Kidney transplant

[Vimals]

Hi everyone,
Iam new to this forum and I would really appreciate if anyone knows the answer to this ,

I want to move to Canada to work and continue my life there. My wife is the primary applicant. I have undergone kidney transplantation in 2010 and I have to take medicines life long. So, I would like to know if there is any problem to receive permanent resident status.

Yes you may have difficulty getting permanent residency. I would research medical inadmissibility.

Basically if the cost of your treatments that would be funded by Canada's healthcare program is projected to cost more than $6,655 per year, you may be deemed medically inadmissible. If this is the case it means you and also your wife will not be eligible to immigrate to Canada.

hi
im also a kidney transplant recipient. i got my transplant in 2015. i read the above information about medical inadmissibilty. i dont think so that annual cost of immunosuppresent n meical checkups would increase from the above mentioned amount.. bt there is a question.. do we need to give any kind of reassurance to canadian government to get another transplant if we need that in future.. a possible living donor etc..
PS im supposed to be the major applicant.

Too hard for anyone to predict but I woild be prepared for a medical inadmissability letter. It will be up to you to show you won't be a burden on the system. They will be worried that you will end up requiring dialysis and another transplant which are both high cost items. So many reasons people end up losing kidney function. You will still require regular monitoring and tests. Things like a CT or MRI can add up quickly in terms of cost. I would get a lawyer who has successly fought a medical inadmissability case. Best of luck.

Based on your medical exam, an IRCC medical doctor will assess your condition 10 years out, and give opinion of if you may need more expensive treatment anytime during that 10 years that may throw the average cost over $6655 per year. If they feel you need a replacement or dialysis during the 10 years, that alone may cause them to deem you medically inadmissible. They would also consider the place in line you'd take from a Canadian for treatment.

If you get a procedural fairness letter on medical inadmissibility, you will need to try and convince IRCC you will not cost much to the healthcare system. You can present a potential donor who will offer you a transplant if needed, but since this can in no way be guaranteed or enforced when the time comes, IRCC may not count it for much. You will need to find your own doctors/specialists who can give you an optimistic 10 year medical prognosis and professional opinion that you won't require expensive treatments, but even then IRCC may not agree with it.

It means if a new immigrant goes on a waiting list for any type of medical treatment, that means a current Canadian/PR would need to wait longer for their own treatment. Excessive demand test is also in place to prevent this from happening.

Nobody will be able to tell you whether you will get approval. You can look at a provincial formulary and tally up the cost of your medications. You are quite lucky because they just raised the limit to closer to 20k. Organ transplants don't last forever and depending on your disease process you may be more likely to have decreased kidney function again depending on what caused your kidney damaged in the first place. You just need to be aware that your medical problems may be an issue when it comes to immigrating.

I have the same issue re medical conditions. Are the rules any different if you are spousal sponsored immigrant?

There is no medical inadmissability if you are being sponsored by a spouse who is already a PR or citizen. I would look into what kind of coverage you will have and how much things costs. Things like prescriptions drugs are not covered in most provinces. Your spouse may have extended health benefits through their employer.
