CEC Permanent residency- immigration medical exam inadmissibility query

[SriTLIN]

Hi Everyone,

My case is-
i am already in Canada on Closed Work Permit arrived in 2016-Jan. During Dec 2015 - my Canada WP application was sent for addition IME (immigration medical exam) review; During cardiologist review - the diagnosis showed mild Mitral valve prolapse (with no immediate attention requirement), and doctor also suspected me with a probable marfan syndrome. After examining the results, the doctor has put me on beta blocker medication and cleared me for processing since my health condition on overall was good; later i was granted ICT (Intra Company Transfer) closed Work Permit by CIC.

Currently i am under followup with Canada Doctor (cardiologist) at Toronto General hospital since 2017-Mar. After few tests and reviews, the doctor confirmed in 2017-Sep that, i am affected with Marfan syndrome due to a gene flaw in my system; and also probably might require aorta dilation correction procedure and mitral valve replacement in the next 10 years down the line (most probable as per the medical statistics, but will be determined based on review during regular 6 months follow-up appointments every year).

I have read different posts, researched a lot; but couldn't find an answer to my medical assessment query. I came across the suggestions for house of commons (regarding excessive healthcare demand immigration law) - http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/CIMM/report-15/page-21
& Panel Physicians guidelines - https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/department/partner/pp/pdf/imei_cardiac_disease.pdf

In the immigration law suggestions- unfortunately the Government report for house of commons (on Apr-16-2018) did not implement the suggestion for expansion of economic groups- point 4(d) (for excessive medical demand exemption); In the meantime before the reviewed changes are enforced in law for immigration, government would triple the budget for social services and few medical conditions (not clear on this - if the statement refers to demands for minimal costs on frequent basis for social & healthcare services or even health care services with higher cost demands which may be my case).

After review of my case and the new laws in place. Can any of the forum members suggest how would my case par with medical exam during my permanent residency application (either pass or fail/ might go for fair trial).
Thanks again for your help.

First of all, I'm sorry to hear this rather unfortunate situation... but I'm glad to see that you are approaching this question very logically and found quite some info already.

I am no expert here, but would agree with you that the government is tripling the excessive demand limit. The cost threshold for 2017 is $33K for 5 yrs. By tripling it, it would be $100K for 5 yrs. I think you should ask your doctor to give you an estimate of how much would the two procedures cost... if the total cost is below $100K, you should be fine...

If not, then according to the parliamentary report:

• the visa officer may choose to accept the mitigation plan proposed by the applicant;
• the applicant may be accepted under humanitarian grounds;

I believe that if they find you are medically inadmissible, you will receive a procedural fairness letter. With this letter, you are given a chance to do additional things to try and ask them to approve...

If I were you, I would now start researching a good immigration lawyer that has experience dealing with similar cases. During the initial consultation, be sure to ask very specific questions and ask them to tell you details about the similar previous cases they have handled...

Again, I am not an expert, but I hope my knowledge could help you in some way... best wishes...

Thank you @limin_w,

I agree with you on the preparation thing for the fair trail, in case my application falls into the IME excessive demand inadmissibility basket.
I have already reached out to my followup doctor in Toronto General Hospital for opinion and future probable costs (not sure if they would respond formally, since the services they have rendered were government funded and sometimes they would be obliged by rules in place to share details with me; anyways i'll keep trying).
Once i am able to make sure of the full case and probable cost details of the procedures (as per previous cases analysis). I'll reach out to a lawyer in either cases, just to make sure i am covered legally if things does not turn positive for me with the medical inadmissibility.

If you/ any senior forum members are aware of any good immigration lawyer dealing with Canada immigration - excessive demand medical inadmissibility cases, please do share the lawyer contact details. I'll prep-up myself. Thanks again for your valuable time and sharing.

You are welcome and sounds like you got a good plan in place. I personally don’t know any good immigration lawyer with experience dealing medical inadmissibity, but hopefully someone can help. Try posting another post with title “Anyone knows lawyer dealing with Medical Inadmissibility?”

Good luck!!
