Once the person receives stage 1 approval in the H&C application, then can apply for a work permit and can qualify for health care coverage.

I believe first stage approval is taking anywhere from 8 months to well over a year right now. Hopefully others can comment on that.

Has the family been working or studying in Canada? Arriving as a visitor and filing for H&C based on access to medical care is unlikely to be successful.

studying on and off since 2013
In general people need to show they can't access healthcare to treat their medical issue in their home country not better healthcare. -If you have been studying off and on your school should have reported you if you didn't return to school unless you were on approved leave.
