Medical condition with M5 in GCMS
- Thread starter pavan23
- Start date
I believe that the medical with M5 since it is outside of Canada it is in London CMAU.
From what I heard the process time is very long..
My son's file wasn't transferred so I don't know exactly.
Just an FYI to everyone.
I contacted my MP and wrote the following:
My son is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder which flagged his medical as an excessive demand on the health system.
Since then the Centralized Medical Admissibility Unit (CMAU) didn't review or return a response on his medical or any guidelines about what will be next.
On June 1, 2018 The honourable Ahmed Hussen placed a policy to exclude cases as my son to be an excessive demand on the health system.
I know there are multiple situations right now during this pandemic and I understand how it affects IRCC processing time but I do want to share my and more families that are in the same situation where our children are not an excessive demand and are excluded from the Medical Admissibility but still treated as we are an excessive demand on the health system.
My son is special and I don't see why we are being left behind even if we are not causing any damage or cost to the health system.
I seek your assistance in this matter, and am grateful for any that you and your office provides.
Please feel free to contact me if you need more details and information.
Let’s see what is outcome and I’m probably planning to contact global news and ctv news after my application will be 100% which is next week.
If anyone would like to join to write their opinions and share their story you are welcome to do that with me.
I’m not only thinking about my self but for other families that will have this struggle in the future.

I did and nothing changed for a long time as other applicants with the same situation.
CMAU before covid took them 1-2 month to process cases like my case.
Today I believe it takes them 9-12 month to review.
And I did reply
There is no cost because of all the autism treatments are excluded in the new public policy for ASD.
ASD is not the only service or treatment an autistic child may have.And I did reply

ASD by definition
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.
According annex B section 1 what is including in the coast nothing applies for ASD.
section 2 that are not included in the cost:
Social services for which costs will not be included to determine if an applicant meets the eligibility criteria and conditions under the public policy
- special education services (preparation of an individualized education plan, educational assistants, etc.)
- social and vocational rehabilitation services (rehabilitation facilities, occupational therapy, behavioural therapy, speech-language therapy, etc.)
- personal non-professional support services means services such as assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, feeding, etc.), meal preparation, house cleaning, etc.
- provision of devices related to those services.
So legally this should not discriminate ASD kids anymore and should be processed as normal.
Only my opinion my friend
but it is wrong how we are treated right now.
