My son has Down Syndrome

[trytrylo]

Dear Mr. scylla

Please do not frighten the people with your advises. I know a person in this forum (who is my relative) whose child had DS. The CIC requested for medicals and they reported the same with a letter to CIC explaining the condition of their kid.

Now they are happily living in canada for the two yrs...

@ OP i suggest you the same. Do the meds and explain the CIC with a letter

can you share me more details regarding the "CIC requested for medicals and they reported the same with a letter to CIC explaining th econdition of their kid." please?

It relates to the way that the A38 evaluation process works.

First, you do the medical examination. If the doctor identifies a condition that might create an "excessive demand" on the social and/or health care services of Canada they will note that in the medical report. The IMS folks will evaluate this and decide if further tests are required. If they are, a sealed letter is sent to the visa office and then forwarded to the applicant to take back to the Panel Physician.

The additional tests are then performed and those results sent to IMS ('Immigration Medical Service'). At that point they decide one of two things: (1) the condition does not represent an excessive demand; or (2) it does.

If the decision is (2) they will send the preliminary findings to the visa office. The Visa Officer will send a letter to the applicant laying out the issue: what the medical condition is, what the anticipated/estimated costs are and concluding that it appears the applicant is inadmissible to Canada.

The applicant has an opportunity to respond. That response can: (1) dispute the medical opinion about the condition; (2) dispute the estimated costs involved; and/or (3) provide a plan for mitigating costs so that they will not be "excessive demand". A failure to respond means that the application is refused.

So the letter is probably a response to the CIC fairness letter. It sounds like they presented an argument that was sufficiently persuasive that the VO decided they were not medically inadmissible.

It doesn't sound like a problem, but if they think it's going to incur costs then it will.

Hi worrie-ds, I am a father of 1yr old DS child. Me and my wife are planning to migrate to Canada together with our son. As of now, we are trying very hard to get all the information we can get to help us prepare for the application and get ready for all the circumstances that may go along our way.

Did you already receive any feedback from CIC regarding your reply to them? I wish that everything will flow smoothly after all the efforts you have done for this application. God bless to your wonderful family.
