Hi! All
I sponsored my parents in 2010, and my parents application for Canadian PR was rejected on health grounds due to my father having renal failure and hence being an excessive demand on Canadian healthcare. CIC has sent me a letter indicating I can appeal this decision as a right of sponsor. Any one have a similar experience and any suggestion as to how to proceed with the appeal i.e what do I have to present when I go for the appeal and what are the chances of success . Thanks.

Situation that you are currently in, is what all of us are worried about, some of us have not sponsored our parents when they were in service (employed) or few years after their retirement.
Our parents were healthy about six to seven years ago at the time we have applied. As time passes by, one would not get any better, and that is what happening in majority of the cases. Average life expectancy for a south asian is not good.
Majority of our parents are alone, and due to that they are under insecurity state, which would lead to more stress, more stress more impact on kidneys.
I think you need to do some good homework, tired to skim through this forum, I remember reading some notes, and there were people who have fought and made a point.
Investing $5K on this issue is not going to go waste. Any was in your situation if you have to make couple of visits to see your parents while they are under dialysis, you would spend that money.
As a tax payer. And as immigrant you have supported this nation, and you have right to request for a support for your parents too.
Don’t forget your parents have sacrificed / donated two young, educated and productive adult to this nation couple of years ago (when you have landed in Canada). And you have supported this nation too by paying taxes.
So do some homework, and show if they would have processed your case in 2010 in 18 moths you would have not been in this state.
