Hello all,

I am from China, recently facing the medical exam as spouse (EE- SKILLED WORKER), but considering I am an epileptic and IRCC has requirements for the medical examination. Therefore, I have some questions and would like to consult, hoping to get help and explanation.

I understand that the IRCC has relaxed the requirements for medical exam many times. However, for some patients with chronic diseases, especially applicants who may cause serious burden to Canada's public health care system, strict examination and evaluation will be conducted.

First of all, please allow me to introduce my illness.

• YOB：1988;
• Confirmed Chronic Disease: (Mild) Epilepsy, from my childhood;
• Treatment: Single drug therapy;
• Drug Information: Lamotrigine, GSK(GlaxoSmithKline);
• Dosage: 150mg/day;
• Last Seizure: 05/2013;
• Current Situation: very stable. And always working in China.

Therefore, I think lamotrigine is a very suitable drug for me, and the single-drug treatment scheme has achieved remarkable results so far.

For the medical burden, it is mainly about Lamotrigine. The price of the drug in China is about 3500-4500 RMB/year (700-900 CAD/year), but the cost is 100% paid by government medical insurance.

In view of the fact that there is no clear official explanation, do you have any cases that can be referred to? I visited some forums and IRCC's website about 'Medical refusals and inadmissibility', and searched the keyword' Epilepsy', and found that there was no specific denial instructions for epilepsy.

I am very nervous and anxious now, and I have been struggling with whether to disclose my illness during the medical examination. But so far, I still prefer to answer ‘yes’ when asked if I have any neurological diseases. But what worries me more is that this ‘yes' will result in my family's PR application being rejected.

did they accept you ? I am worried about my husband too.because he has it too

You can’t say that . Every person is different, just as every case is different

Decision Made

they sent me an email asking to sent the passport

I am so happy

good luck to you too, they didn't ask any other medical examination

Thank you for sharing and wish you well. May I know if it is necessary to bring medical records or other documents related to the Epilepsy condition when going through the medical examination for visa application? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Guys I have suffered epilepsy seizure in the year 2002 and thereafter in the year 2007. However, thereafter I am taking medicine i.e. eptoin 100mg 1 tablet per day. Fortunately, not suffered any other seizure after 2007 and now I am applying for student visa Canada. My medical is coming soon now my question is whether should I disclose above problem to the doctor or conceal the same. If I disclosed then is there any chance that my file get rejected due the problem.

I am bit stressed kindly help me out.

Thanks in anticipation

I don't think it will be an issue, it is not a threat to public health. Better to disclose it, if you don't it could come back to bite you in the future. Your health care insurance won't cover medication so plan that into your expenses.

So i should disclose this fact to the medical practitioner during my medical. And what are probability of rejection.

I talk to my doctor last year he reduced my medication and in this year I had to visit him again in the month of march. But due to coronavirus I couldn't contact him and my medication hasn't stopped but now I have consulted my physician and probably now I'll be stopping my medicine before exam. So this fact need to tell during medical and what are the chances for rejection Or new hurdles arise.
