admissibility or not

[zardoz]

Actually I am applying through professional immigration. The reason why I ask that is I saw in one website that they have to consider so-called family sponsorship before they reject an application because of excessive demand on health or social service.

I am unaware of such a requirement. It seems extremely unlikely. Can you offer us a link to this Web site? You may be confusing "Excessive Demand Exemption" which is part of sponsorship as a spouse or common-law. This is under Family Class applications, not Economic Classes.

Right, if you are applying for PR for your family, you must include your spouse and minor children and they must be medically examined. If they are deemed to be excessive demand, the whole family in inadmissible.

There are some very few cases of people getting around that by for example being so well off that they set up a trust fund in order to take care of their child's medical needs and signed some papers stating that their child would never be a burden on health care. However, very rare and very hard to do.

The family sponsorship is for people who are already PR or citizens and are sponsoring their spouse and/or children. In that case, the sponsorship can not be refused based on excessive demand. However, in order to do that, you would have to turn the clock back and apply for PR before you got married and before these children were born.

Albinism is more complex than that. Medical care is usually minimal. It's the requirements for "special needs" education and support that starts building up the ongoing costs. Albinism can range from mild annoyance to full visual impairment. My two boys are mid-range, with one markedly better than the other. They would almost certainly have been inadmissible due to educational support costs and disability allowances.

Hi,
My son is very little and was recently diagnosed with a mild type of albinism. I read that the rules had changed in 2018 and the costs of early intervention/teachers for visually impaired and so on are no longer included (probably my son won't need those but still) Does it mean that my son's albinisim won't be a reason for inadmissibility?

You are replying to a post from 2015. Assume you have received your ITA and have completed your medicals. You may or may not receive a procedural fairness letter. If not, the medical is passed. If you do, a group of panel physicians will determine if there is a burden on the health care system related to costs. If you receive PFL, it is best to have a Canadian immigration law firm work on your case. Best of luck.
