Hi
@computergeek and Everyone,
I read this thread in the forum and it was wonderful that- you were all able to help applicants, who were reaching out for medical guidance.
My case is-
i am already in Canada on Closed Work Permit arrived in 2016-Jan. During Dec 2015 - my Canada WP application was sent for addition IME (immigration medical exam) review; During cardiologist review - the diagnosis showed mild Mitral valve prolapse (with no immediate attention requirement), and doctor also suspected me with a probable marfan syndrome. After examining the results, the doctor has put me on beta blocker medication and cleared me for processing since my health condition on overall was good; later i was granted ICT (Intra Company Transfer) closed Work Permit by CIC.
Currently i am under followup with Canada Doctor (cardiologist) at Toronto General hospital since 2017-Mar. After few tests and reviews, the doctor confirmed in 2017-Sep that, i am affected with Marfan syndrome due to a gene flaw in my system; and also probably might require aorta dilation correction procedure and mitral valve replacement in the next 10 years down the line (
most probable as per the medical statistics,
but will be determined based on review during regular 6 months follow-up appointments every year).
I have read different posts, researched a lot; but couldn't find an answer to my medical assessment query. I came across the suggestions for house of commons (regarding excessive healthcare demand immigration law) -
http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/CIMM/report-15/page-21
& Panel Physicians guidelines -
https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/department/partner/pp/pdf/imei_cardiac_disease.pdf
In the immigration law suggestions- unfortunately the Government report for house of commons (on Apr-16-2018) did not implement the suggestion for expansion of economic groups- point 4(d) (for excessive medical demand exemption); In the meantime before the reviewed changes are enforced in law for immigration, government would triple the budget for social services and few medical conditions (not clear on this - if the statement refers to demands for
minimal costs on frequent basis for social & healthcare services or
even health care services with higher cost demands which may be my case).
After review of my case and the new laws in place. Can any of the forum members suggest how would my case par with medical exam during my permanent residency application (either pass or fail/ might go for fair trial).
Thanks again for your help.
