Hi computergeek,

I am new to this forum. I have read many of your posts and I am hoping you can advise me. My father has mild Parkinson, will this affect his chance to get PR? He's got a furtherance letter, and since had to see a specialist who just ask him a few questions. Its been a few weeks now and he hasn't heard back anything.

Also, I read in one of your posts that there is a lawyer in Toronto who deals with these kinds of issues, would you be able to forward me his information.

Many thanks,
Mohani
 
my cousin currently facing the same problem. He currently is a post graduate student in Montreal and planning to apply for permanent residence when he graduate. But what bothers him is that he had renal transplant back four years ago. He's afraid that this might lead to a medical inadmissibility which cause his application rejected.

Is there any way he could do?? ( like getting private health insurance or opted out of public services?)

Hi there,

Computer geek please help!

Are hypertension and atrial fibrillation in elderly a reason for PR denial?

Also, is CIC looking at the health/medical records of PR applicants while visiting in Canada prior to passing medicals?
My MIL visited us and had an emergency for which she had to be hospitalized. Now the MR came and she needs to undergo in 30 days. As the cost for the hospitalization is definitely greater than the average annual health care cost, can this be a factor in refusal?

Thanks.
 
Hi everyone, it's my first time actually posting on here, although I've spend a lot of time reading posts. A bit about my background.

Me and my husband applied to sponsor my grandmother in 2015. We were not part of the first batch of applicants to make that round despite using Purolator Express service. We applied again in 2016, with a private carrier and our application made it through.

Yesterday I thankfully received a letter asking my grandmother to attend the medical exam and to get her criminal reference check. We are overjoyed, and then quickly the joy turned into worry. Which is what brought me here.

My grandmother is 83. She is in good health for someone her age. She has never been hospitalized for anything, she is self sufficient. She does sometimes have high blood pressure (controlled by medication), needs glasses, and her hearing isn't the best. Now, I am stressing because I am wondering what will happen if she fails her medical? I have read threads on here about people getting fairness letters due to possible heart abnormalities. She's old, she might have a heart abnormality, I am not sure.

If we do receive a fairness letter, what should we do? She wants to come visit us anyway on a visitor's visa this spring. Should we hire a lawyer here in Canada to fight her case? Or should we get a lawyer from back in Romania? Should she get a second opinion and fight her fairness letter here in Canada, or do that from in Romania?

Advice, words of encouragement? I'm hoping for the best (that she passes) but preparing for the worst. I'm worried that even though things check out as ok, they might be ageist and find a reason to say that someone in their 80's will certainly be a burden on the system in the next ten years.

Any recommendations, or ways to prepare for this possible outcome is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to PM me any good medical inadmissibility lawyers within the greater Toronto area.
 
Why not allow her go for the medicals first to ascertain her true medical status.
No one can really tell u what to expect now but for her age there should be some considerations i think.

What medication(s) are they on? It all depends on that. And their intended destination(Province).
