Chronic disease and immigration file

[drspecialist]

Dear Friends
Please I need your advice about my problem. I have applied in 2007, sent my documents in December 2009 and now waiting for the medical. I am in London (UK). I have passed the points and I feel that my file is all ready and ideal, but we have shocked this week after the investigations done for my wife that they discovered that she has (Chronic Leukeima). Now what I am thinking about: Will this result in rejection of the whole file for immigration becuase it is a chronic health problem? (We have not get the medical letter yet). Or they can accept the file for me and the children so I can go and work there and make some money for her expensive treatment especially that I am not claiming any points on her. I need your kind help becuase we feel that our life has turned upside down.
Thanks in advance

First of all I hope your wife gets well soon and its unfortunate to be detected this way.

I would be careful in saying yes or no, but maybe this helps a bit

Their admission might cause excessive demand on existing social or health services provided by the government. *

When determining whether any person is inadmissible on medical grounds, the medical officer is obliged to consider the nature, severity or probable duration of any health impairment from which the person is suffering as well as other factors, such as:
Danger of contagion;
Unpredictable or unusual behaviour that may create a danger to public safety; and
The supply of social or health services that the person may require in Canada and whether the use of such services will deprive Canadian nationals of these services.
* The excessive demand component is waived under the Family Sponsorship category of Canada immigration for the spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner and dependent children of the Sponsor. The Sponsored person(s) still may be refused if their condition is considered to be a danger to Canadian public health or safety.

Given that you can do a family sponsorship later that might be an option for you and the excessive demand clause may be a factor in their decision making. I would let others comment but hopefully the above helps.

His spouse has to be included in his application, if she is medically inadmissible for "excessive demand" then he is also inadmissible. There would be no future spousal sponsorship. If the costs of her treatment in Canada would average over $5440 per year for the next 5 years in Canada, she would be refused.

Thanks PMM for that insight. Perhaps the OP should get an estimate on what it might cost for treatment to make an informed judgement.

Hey
Sorry to hear that. I am not sure if this chronic disease is inadmissiable or not. But I know one of my friends cases:

She applied Quebc provinence skill immigration. Her husband is a army when she applied. As an army, he can not obtain PASSPORT and leave the country, so she has to apply without him and it is what she did. However, her husband is still required to take medicals with her. Moreover, her husband experienced security check and interview even if he did not apply.

So from the case, I guess even if you do not include your wife in your application, your wife still have to undertake the medicals exam. But I am not 100% sure of federal skilled workers category and maybe this Chronic disease is not fall in the inadmissiable category.

Good luck,

Thanks for your kind replies. I think the chemotherapy will be quiet costy, it will require treatment every month of about 1200$ which I do not know if I can offer to share part of it or this will not be accepted. It is not a dangerous or infective disaese or whatever it is cancer blood.
Thanks and looking for any more insight
