Spouse diagnosed with Breast Cancer Stage 2A

[Mustafa3]

Can someone please advise me. I applied for FSW 2014 and I am 19 June applicant for NOC 0112. Got PER on 16 Oct 2014. Meanwhile in September my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer Stage 2A. She had her Mastectomy and reconstruction. Curently she is undergoing chemotherapy. Would this be a case of medical rejection. Please anyone can guide on this.

Yes - unfortunately it's quite possible that this could be a case for refusal based on the medical. I would recommend that you look through this forum for old discussions about "medical inadmissibility" so that you can start educating yourself about what you will need to do if you receive a medical inadmissibility letter and need to respond.

Good luck and I hope your wife gets better soon.

Do you know what would happened if she had been diagnosed with this after medical exam? Could they go to Canada and continue treatment there?
Just curious, because it could had happened that way in the above case.
She wouldn't had hidden facts from immigration but she would, also, be legaly inadmissable. As I realised, medical exams are not too detailed and condition like this would not be detected.

This can't happen for the above case since the OP just received PER on October 16th.

But to answer your question, if the diagnosis happened after the medical had been passed then it won't impact the immigration process. In this case the diagnosis and even treatment has happened prior to the medical. So the situation is extremely different.

Thanks, I'm just curious, who knows what tomorow brings...
Do you know which amount they consider as excessive cost of treatment?
My daugter is on monthly hormonal therapy due to a premature puberty and will continue with it for next three years (two after she lend). Cost of monthly therapy is 100 EUR in our country, but doctors and medications are covered with regular insurance that every employed person here have, similar to canadian model. But, how could I know how much does it cost in Canada since it is not just an injection (that is what costs 100 EUR), but a visit to the doctor, measuring weight and hight, maybe some additional analysis if needed. Should her endocrinologist make some kind of report and state anything else than the dyagnosis?
We are waiting for MR now and having discussions with my husband should we mention this during medical exam or not. They are not going to be able to detect it with regular exam unless they specifically search for certain hormon levels in blood analysis and bone x-ray. I feel very bad about lie, in general not just this situation, but if it is going to be an eliminating factor for us, should I just not mention this?

Thanks scylla for the response. The only thing I has in mind is that excessive cost bench mark for Canada is $ 6285 per year and if we calculate for 5 years it comes out to be $ 31425. The oncologist we are seeing has confirmed that after chemotherapy the only admissible cost would be of a tablet which will cost around $ 50 per month. In that case I am not sure whether the case would be treated as inadmissible.

The problem is that you're only factoring in the costs of the tablet. That's not the way CIC will calculate it. They will include all of the other potential costs associated with her care (doctor and specialist visits, any tests, clinic / hospital visits, etc.). All of this has a cost associated with it too. CIC may also consider what additional costs will come up if the treatment for your wife's illness isn't 100% successful or if she as a reoccurance/relapse within those five years.

brother, may Almight Allah bless your wife with complete recovery and health soon. Just do not worry about the medicals, you should put all your focus on recovery and treatment. Keep praying to God for positive results in medical. Cancer is not contagious but treatment is costly but pay thanks to God you got to know it early that you can complete the treatment before you get passport and as you sad a tablet will be required for future having little cost.
What you can do is, just pray and focus on treatment.
