Hi Everyone
My father recently had Heart Bypass surgery. Couple of his arteries were closed so doctor's performed by pass surgery. As per doctors his heart is better then new and he
should not have similar problem in his life again i.e requiring another heart by pass surgery. My question is what are the implication of his surgery on the medical that he
will have to clear for immigration. I am Canadian PR holder and will apply for my parents under family class next year so I guess we still have about 4-5 years before he will need
to go for medical. Hopefuly by that time he have fully recovered and will be taking minimum or no medication for his heart bypass.
If anyone has undergone similar situation and can share their experience or any other related information then I will be really grateful.

Heart bypass will not effect it.They are not concerned with this as most who have had it recover fully and never need it again.They are more concerned with terminal illness,a non cureable disease,or TB,HIV,Aids etc.Or if someone has to be constantly monitored things like that.

Thanks for the reply. I thought so but there is a clause in medical in case your condition can cause Canada social services burden inlong run then they can deny your case. Which it should not again as it is suppose to be one time event.
