Thank you, Thaiguy, but according to PMM “excessive demand is only waived for spousal applicants or dependent children of Canadian residents, not for skilled workers applicants":

Which one is truth?
You didn't mention in any of your earlier posts under what category you are applying - you have only said that your wife is the principal applicant. We do not know whether your wife is a Canadian or Canadian Permanent Resident, or whether your application is under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
So, it is not a matter of truth because CIC does waive the "excessive demand" for sponsorship of spouses and /or dependents.
Therefore, the crux of the matter lies in what CIC considers as "excessive demand." And this they do on a case by case basis depending on so many other factors.
Even though your son's condition is not expressedly mentioned by CIC - it depends on how CIC interpretes your son's condition around their medical policies. I doubt if anybody at this forum has an exclusive knowledge of the entirety of CIC's medical policies.
Providing CIC directly with a report from your doctor is not necessary, but might be desirable as an additional opinion to aid CIC in making an unbiased decision. Providing this report is entirely up to you if you know that your doctor is objective in his /her analyses. After all, your doctor knows his patient better and knows what future medical attention /procedures your son might be needing either in the short-term or long-term, and such information should be mentioned in any medical report that you might personally submit to CIC.
I know that most applicants are tight on funds including myself, but I always encourage immigration applicants with unique situations to
consider talking to a lawyer even if they don't want to retain the lawyer.
A credible immigration lawyer who has been practising for quite a while should be able to answer your question based on their experiences of handling such cases over the years.
Do not talk to the paralegals on this one - make the appointment to talk to the lead lawyer /partner.
Politely insist if necessary to talk to the lead lawyer or partner. You might only do one consultation or at least two, which will be on an average $100 CDN or $200 CDN. I think on an average, each consultation is 30 minutes long.
Be well prepared with all pertinent questions that you have including what treatments your son might be needing in the future according to your son's doctor(s) reports. Such a sacrifice is worth undergoing in order to assist you with your decisions.
If you decide to talk with a lawyer, remember to ask whether submitting a medical report from your son's doctor(s) might work in your favor or not.
I leave you with a renowned quote: "It is better to be penny wise than pound foolish."
