No your family is not exempt from this. You are not sponsoring your child as stated in the link. You are applying for PR through CEC. You all must go through the medicals. Your son may receive a procedural fairness letter and a panel of physicians will determine if his Crohn’s will be a burden on the health care system. It will depend on his needs and treatment plan.
PR cases with medical issues (ulcerative colitis/Crohn's)

Hello everyone,
I have applied for PR through the new TR to PR stream and my wife is the main applicant. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease two years ago, a month before coming to Canada. I took Mezavant for a year and I was in remission but since my flare-ups got back my doctor prescribed Imuran which had worked for 4 months but lately again flare-ups are active.
It is eating me up whether my situation is medically inadmissible or not. I am on cheap medication. Does anyone know if new biosimilars made the cost of Crohn's treatment cheaper that overcomes the excessive demand for healthcare?

Unfortunately, no one can tell you. You will need to wait for the outcome of the medical and whether you get a procedural fairness letter. If reviewed, panel physicians don‘t just look at the cost of medications but whether your disease will be a burden on the health care system over the long term. Will you require surgery etc?Hello everyone,

Thank you for the info. No surgery has been needed so far since my condition is moderate and is painless. I checked and found biosimilars are being used in Canada since 2021 which are cheaper in case of necessity to biologics, which has not been my case. I am on Imuran which is super cheap. I was wondering if excessive demand would be an issue to Crohn's disease anymore? because I don't see any comment on this issue from last year in this forum.Unfortunately, no one can tell you.

It can be considered excessive demand depending on your diagnosis. Have you had your medical?Thank you for the info. No surgery has been needed so far since my condition is moderate and is painless.

Hey! Thanks for responding. No I haven’t requested for gems note yet. A couple days back I have received a request to give my biometrics. So at what phase do we usually expect PFL? Is it during the final decision phase?Hello bruthala, i didn't received PFL yet but i ordered gcms note and they mentioned that my medical condition can cause burden on their health care system .... what about you have you applied gcms note?

I didn't receive PFL yet.
Hey Shivang! One more question. The reason you applied for GCMS notes. Is it because your application was refused? or is it more a caution/curious to see where your application is at. Interested to know the circumstances. Also you have mentioned that there was a note mentioned, saying “your medical condition can be a burden” is that a note mentioned by immigration officer while assessing your application?I am not sure.
