Hello everyone, I want to know if have hemophilia can be a point for not to be a Express entry candidate.

Hemophilia can be a reason for refusal on medical grounds. However some have been approved.

Are you in Canada? You cannot apply for H&C from outside of Canada.

It's not about how many points you have. You need to convince CIC that you won't be a medical burden to Canada. If you apply for PR, you should expect to receive a letter from CIC indicating that they plan to refuse your application for medical reasons. You will then have to provide evidence to support the fact that you won't be a burden. To prove you won't be a burden, you have to show that the cost of your health care in Canada will be less than $6,500 per year.

So, How I can prove it?

Do you know which papers I need to prove it?

I think I can ask for some papers in my heatlh care institue, but I think that maybe the medicine cost here in Mexico is different from Canada (because here in Mexico all is based in the U$). So, is there a way to get the medicine's cost in Canada?.

I sent an email to the Canadian Hemophilia Society some days ago, but they still do not reply me

You need to research the costs of your medication / treatment in Canada. CIC will assess your admissibility based on the costs of treatment in Canada (not in your home country). What treatment or medication are you on?

I need Factor VIII, I use it as I need it, that is on demand (only when I have an inflamed joint or something similar).

My health care institute provide me the medicine and I have it in my home and only when I need it I use it.

The cost I think varies from one hemophilic to another, so how I can prove that I can be under the $6,500?

Thank you for all the replys.

Start by googling. You can find a lot of useful information on the web and will need to find what the cost of your treatment is in Canada and then multiply this by the number of times you typically use it per year. CIC will also add on the cost of doctor/specialist visits which will be more difficult to estimate. I have a bleeding disorder (although more mild) and I treat about once a year. I take something called Hemate/Humate and it's around $800 per treatment. I pay nothing. But the $800 is what it costs Canada's health care system. Reaching out to the Hemophilia Society was also good - give them time to respond.

Ok, thank you so much.

I think that maybe hemophilia is really a point for the application refusal, I don't think that the cost in general in Canada will be less than $6,500. I will waiting for the Canadian Hemophilia Society reply. Do you think that the society can help with approving application?

Thank you again for the answers.

The society may be able to provide you with information about the cost of your treatment. But that's about the only way they will be able to help.

Do you know some hemophilic which had been accepted?
I don't personally know any. I think I may have seen someone on this forum. Use the forum search feature and see what you can find.
