[/QUOTE]Hi Mudjawd,
I too in the same situation. I read a article https://globalnews.ca/news/4142592/trudeau-liberals-overhaul-discriminatory-immigration-law-disabilities/
which says policy was changed in 2018 , IRCC can not reject the application because of this special needs.
I am planning to declare my Son’s condition during medical exams because I am feeling that it is better to declare and face the consequences.
QUOTE="mudjawd, post: 8468387, member: 477242"]hi all. now that i have an ITA. i wanted to check on next step regarding health check. My son was diagnosed with autism 2.5 years back (at age 3 YO) due to his speech delay by one of the specialists in Canada. He eventually caught up (got him in pre school). Now my son goes to his school and is in KG and is absolutely fluent in english . A good student with zero complaints . He is just like any kid and very social too.
I wanted to know that for the doctor checkup for my son, will the doctor be able to access his medical history from the past (we've been here almost 5 years). I am afraid that it can be used as a means to delay/impact our application. any advise will be helpful.
Thanks Kartikeyan. Actually my son hasn't got autism and his previous diagnosis was only based one questionnaire (no detailed test done for his diagnosis or any other tests for control etc). He is infact like any normal kid in talking, studying or any other behaviors at school (infact he gets complemented as a smart kid most of the times).
So, my concern is that since there are zero indicators for autism in him, the only way the medical officer will know if by accessing his past history and that is why i wanted to know if they have any such access or not. Given the utmost secrecy the medical records (espacilly kids) go through and can only be voluntarily released or by court order, I doubt if any other doctor can access his medical records. but i wanted someone to confirm.
