There are three grounds on which someone can be refused for medical reason: threat to public health, threat to public safety and excessive demand on social/health services.Regina said:No. They are worried about deceases which treatment could be a burden on Health Care System and social assistance. (concerning TV, if it is treated already there should not be a problem).
Because people with diabetes get a lot of social help being a diabetic could be a problem. However, I have never heard that any diabetic was rejected because of his condition.
Active TB and syphilis fall under the first two categories, as would other communicable diseases. HIV, diabetes, downs syndrome, ALS, MS, and other chronic conditions fall under the excessive demand category.
Excessive demand is strictly financial. A child that requires special education services won't pass this threshold generally because special education is expensive. Chronic conditions may be able to meet the restriction if they do not have a high associated cost. But each case is unique.
Note that if any family member is inadmissible the entire family is inadmissible.
