Immigration with disabled child

[Nabeel37]

Every child’s needs are very different from mild to severe. I was just pointing out that you can’t disregard things like medical devices that tend to be very expensive and require frequent replacement during a period when a child grows. Even if you eliminate special schooling which was the big change your child may not actually receive these special services. For budget reasons many of these children are being mainstreamed with or without educational assistants.

On top of qualifying it is important for parents to actually look to see if their child will receive the services they are expecting. Many have been told that they will get access to free healthcare, specialized education, etc. for their child. The reality is that it is partially free with a lot of wait times. If you don’t have extended health benefits for your family or don’t have a pretty good income your child will certainly not get have access to all the equipment they need. Luckily people do pass down their used equipment to people in need. Some have unrealistic expectation of what they may receive in Canada. One mother was expecting a nurse to come after school to care for their child while they worked as they had been paying for in their country. The reality in Canada is that a parent would be the one meeting the child after school and doing most of the nursing care. Their only option would be to pay for a private nurse and that would be significantly more than they were paying relative to their income in their home country.

OK Bro,
One of my friend submitted PR paperbased application under PNP along valid job offer and PNC. His family expecting medical call in coming 8 months they have a child of age 3 months and in routine checkup Dr. Observed some early signs of CP but he is not yet sure and said baby may have CP or may be 100% normal we just can keep him under observation for the next few months or years.
Babies milestones almost on track so far and health and physical condition is also normal. What you suggest should they go for upfront medical after 5 months of AOR on safer side before any visible physical problem appear? If they wait for medical request at that time baby's age will be 13 months almost and he have to achieve more big milestones but if they go for upfront medical baby's age will be almost 8 months and he has to achieve limited milestones in medical exam.
As early as they will go for medical its difficult to pointout any disability or medical condition of baby for pannel physician.
Need your experienced advise to handle the situation critically and technically.

please don’t suggest people try to trick the system. If the baby is not meeting their milestones you will be asked to repeat the medical again once the baby is slightly older.

Attention, it is not that easy.

In case of autism it mainly affect how that person is perceiving world, albeit he / she is usually not affected by being physically unable to do some activities. There are also different degrees of autism, so results in some cases can be good.

In your case, you do point out to the illness that does not affect intellect itself, however depending on severity it can affect physical abilities a lot (including problems with visions). It will very much depend how much is your child affected.
But be aware, that unlike special education support (in case of autism), things like physiotherapy or requirement of special assistant, is something that cannot be deferred. And yes it will be evaluated against Canadian costs.

So if for example your child need constant assistance because of its movement disability (for example it is bound to a wheelchair), count that you will be most likely rejected.

Hi what about in case of getting study permit...I applied for study permit with one of my dependent 11 yrs autistic son...waiting for getting approval

It would likely be harder to get a study permit versus PR. Families are not guaranteed to be able to accompany family members who are international students.

No you can apply. Families are never guaranteed a visa/permit. Some are accepted, some are denied.

Thing is that they will consider that case as if the child needs a full time assistant and they will assess it as such. You can try it for sure, but rejection is almost certain there. The yearly costs that you are facing are way way too high (just a salary for personal assistant will be way over the roof).

Hi dear,
Did you get PR?
I have same child
Already applied for PR

Hi,
My wife and I are looking at options for immigrating to Canada but we have a child with Cerebral Palsy. I have looked through the forums and found info that the applications will be rejected, but all of these posts are old and there have been some changes by the Canadian government since.
See article below

https://globalnews.ca/news/4150860/disability-immigration-law-a-blessing-says-father-autistic-child/

Based on the above article, is there any way we could check on our eligibility before going through the application process?
Currently our daughter has no medical expenses and hasn't had any for a few years now.

Thanks in advance

Hi there, I’m looking for relocation in Canada with kid with minor disabilities (require quarterly check ups and visits to endocrinologist + some laboratory tests), from medical perspective monthly cost is about 25-30$ (Cost of pills). I have a few questions about it:
1) Could it cause me troubles with getting Working visa?
2) Any future troubles with getting PR?

and another side of question: how to proof that my kid has this disease? Which documents I need to translate to English before relocation, and how to apply for check up with endocrinologist to get a prescription quickly?
