The issue I see with this statement is that this argument will not hold. You are seeking PR for her. Once she has it, she will (eventually) qualify for health care. She can't be a PR but not qualify for it. Are you telling me that even if she qualifies, you would decide to decline it and pay out of pocket instead? It is doubtful and CIC will think so too. I don't know how you will argue this. You will need a better argument.ryan007 said:
I agree with you. There's no way this is going to fly. This is why I keep encouraging the OP to make plans for his mother in law's return to her home country. I think it's going to happen sooner rather than later. It's going to be rough either way - but much rougher if nothing has been done to plan/prepare.keesio said:
So true. I remember when I purchased insurance for my wife during the 3 months wait for OHIP. There was a list of pre-existing ailments they will not cover you for. Some of the ailments were minor. Basically most plans want you healthy before covering you. Considering the ailment that the OP's mother-in-law has, no way any insurance plan would cover this.zardoz said:
Yes - there have been a handful. However the situation here is very different. This isn't a situation where PR has been refused for someone sponsored as a family member (i.e. the individual would have been approved for PR if they weren't medically inadmissible and only their health held them back from being granted PR). This is a situation where someone has been refused refugee status and also twice (?) refused for H&C. There are a number of barriers to overcome here. Right now the least of those is medical inadmissibility IMHO.user828 said:
I'd like to read up on that, u know any cases - I wonder how does it work? is it simply a promise of health card has some restrictions on itscylla said:
I'm surprised also. I would think a case where a PR is denied access to health care would be considered violation of their rights somehow.user828 said:
