Medical inadmissible Exception

[Alice100]

When they say that members of the family class are excepted from medical inadmissibility, does it include orphaned children. I am trying to sponsor 2 of nieces and nephew, will they qaulify for medical inadmissible. Please and kindly let me know. Thanks

You got your information wrong.

1.) What you are talking about applies for partners (spouse, common-law, conjugal) and dependant children. It does not apply to other family members such as nieces, nephews, parents, siblings etc. I am not sure about orphaned children, are you sponsoring them as dependant children?

2.) They can still be deemed medically inadmissable if they have a condition that is a danger to public health, so if they were actually sick at the time when the medical was done (had TB for example) and they could put other residents of Canada at risk. Most things like that can be cured though and afterwards, the applicant may not be inadmissable anymore.
The difference is:

Family Class sponsored spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and their dependent children, and convention refugees and persons in need of protection and their dependents, will not be refused entry if they have a health condition that places excessive demand on health or social services.

So if you're sponsoring a father with a heart condition that requires expensive treatment he is likely to be deemed medically inadmissable while if he were your husband, it wouldn't be a problem.
