Hi all, I would like some guidance about how medical inadmissionality is calculated and how the process goes.
All of below are just my interpretation on how medical decisions are made. I'd like some confirmation/ corrections. Thank you.
M5 - Inadmissible due to excessive demand on health and social services.
When a M5 is served, it is based on
"a demand on health services or social services for which the anticipated costs would likely exceed
average Canadian per capita health services and social services costs over a period of 5 consecutive years immediately following the most recent medical examination required under paragraph A16(2)(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), unless there is evidence that significant costs are likely to be incurred beyond that period, in which case the period is no more than 10 consecutive years"
For 2019, this number is
$6,839. ($20,517 / 3)
So if the medical costs exceed $6839, the RMO will give a M5 on GCMS notes.
The next step is then for VO to decide if it can overcome the
public policy.
Currently there is a temporary public policy states that
"The costs of the health and social services (listed in Section 1, Annex B) that would be required to treat the foreign national’s health condition are
less than three times the average Canadian per capita health and social services costs over a period of five consecutive years immediately following the most recent medical examination required under paragraph 16(2)(b) of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, unless there is evidence that significant costs are likely to be incurred beyond that period, in which case the period is no more than 10 consecutive years."
Based this public policy, if the medical costs is less than 3 * 6839 = 20,517 for 5 years, then the applicant basically overcome the public policy.
Therefore medical pass. Is it right?
