Can anyone share their experience?

[PDG]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can share their experience in regards to parents sponsorship was refused due to medical inadmissibility.
My parents have received a letter from CIC to provide further information (if available) within 60 days, otherwise they will refuse the visa application due to medical inadmissibility.

I am little confused about their expectation that can help to change their decision.

Thanks a lot!

Depends what the medical condition is. If you can successfully prove that neither parent will be a financial burden on Canada because of their health, then send in the proof.

If, however, the medical condition requires on going and expensive treatment, then I am afraid your parents visa will be denied. In fairness, no Canadian wants to fund, through their taxes, someone whom has never contributed a penny to Canadian society.

This is how both CIC and the Government view this situation.

I am sorry to say Angelbart...myself being a Canadian, I didn't ask your personalopinion about what comon Canadian or the Govt. thinks.

If they really don't care about the family of a Canadian (so called..who never contributed to the society)
why this catagory was created on the first place. Doesn't matter if they have medical condition or not the expenses towards them cannot be zero compare to other average Canadian.

I don't agree with your view. By the way, I just asked if anyone has any personal experience to share

There are some medical conditions that, if they just are really terrible or costly to treat, will be grounds for refusal. Even if they are your parents or your spouse or whomever, they can still be denied. For better or for worse, that is how it works. Angelbrat was just saying the facts. Plus, she gave you good advice. She wrote "If you can successfully prove that neither parent will be a financial burden on Canada because of their health, then send in the proof."

In regards to "Doesn't matter if they have medical condition or not the expenses towards them cannot be zero compare to other average Canadian." -- I'm not sure what you meant to say, but the "average" Canadian has contributed somewhat in the form of taxes to health care while a permanent resident who is a sick elderly parent has not done the same.

It's not to say I completely unsympathetic to your situation. It is unfortunate that your parents may not be able to join you in Canada! If you are close to your parents and genuinely care about their well-being, I understand that it could be hard to have them so far away and to worry about them

What did CIC actually write in the letter? They simply said that they are refusing them "due to medical inadmissibility"? Nothing more? Did you submit all the tests needed? Perhaps they have a condition that makes them inadmissible to enter Canada? If it's not a condition they have, perhaps you are lacking documentation?

Or, now that I think of it, as many family sponsorship for parents take a few years, perhaps they are requesting updated medical tests? It may be their way of giving you a chance in case your parents' conditions has improved since the application date.

Additionally, I cannot give you my personal experience on this matter. I can only provide you with some token advice.

But as this is an open forum, you got advice - IMHO - good advice.
Everyone here knows that all cases are individual, so IMO comparisons don't help that much. Other people's cases certainly won't convince immigration to change their judgment about medical inadmissibility.

If they really don't care about the family of a Canadian (so called..who never contributed to the society)
why this catagory was created on the first place.

Originally, I guess the intent was about reuniting families, but now due to higher rates of immigration, the economy, load on the health system (and many other factors) I think things have changed and principles have softened;
Right now, it is about avoiding excessive demand on the system.

Doesn't matter if they have medical condition or not the expenses towards them cannot be zero compare to other average Canadian.

It most certainly does matter, and there are conditions that we all need to respect.
The rules are for anyone who applies. If a medical condition is contagious or if it would cause excessive costs to the Canadian health system, refusal is the only real option.

Entry to Canada is a privilege not an absolute right. But I guess we all know that.

If the reason for refusal is unclear I would request more information and then address the individual objections.
Hopefully your parents will then be able to join you in Canada.
