When a foreign national submits an application for Canadian permanent residency in the prescribed manner, but a Canadian immigration officer suspects the candidate is medically inadmissible to Canada, the immigration officer will issue a Procedural Fairness letter to the applicant. The purpose of a Procedural Fairness Letter is to provide the applicant an opportunity to respond to an allegation of medical inadmissibility.
Unfortunately for some, a variety of commonplace conditions, and developmental afflictions, can lead to the issuance of a Procedural Fairness Letter for a finding of medical inadmissibility. Conditions such as depression, or even a slight learning disability can possibly be considered an excessive demand on Canada’s system. Sometimes these borderline conditions come down to the discretion of the assessing Canadian immigration officer. Which is why it is so important to have a well-researched and informed response to a Procedural Fairness Letter.
