Excessive demand decisions
Immigration applicants must be admissible to Canada on health grounds. Excessive demand on health or social services is 1 of 3 health grounds. An officer will refuse your application, based on the results of your immigration medical examination, if they reasonably believe that your health condition might cause an excessive demand on health or social services. An excessive demand on health or social services
can mean 2 things. It can mean that the need for health services to treat your health condition would negatively affect medical service wait times in Canada. It can also mean that the services to treat and manage your health condition would likely cost more than 3 times the Canadian average for health and social services (per person).
Calculation of the Excessive Demand Cost Threshold
This report describes how Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) calculates the
excessive demand cost threshold and uses the cost threshold to make excessive demand decisions.
• In 2017, the excessive demand cost threshold was $33,275 over 5 years (or $6,655 per year).
• In April of 2018, the Government of Canada made changes to the excessivedemand policy and to the cost threshold.
• For 2018, the new cost threshold is $99,060 over 5 years (or $19,812 per year).This report explains how IRCC changed the cost hreshold and how we use the cost threshold tomake a decision about your application
How IRCC uses the cost threshold to determine an applicant’s admissibility
This section describes how the department uses the cost threshold to make a decision on your application. This is a process that involves the following 3 main steps:
1. You will be asked to get an immigration medical examination.
2. The medical officer will review the results of your medical examination and provide an assessment to the officer who is processing your application. If you have a medical condition, the medical officer will calculate the cost of health and social services needed to treat and manage your condition and will compare those costs to the cost threshold.
3. The officer who is processing your application will consider the information provided by the medical officer and decide if your health condition might cause an excessive demand on health or social
services. The officer will consider if the costs to treat and manage your condition are more than the cost
threshold. The officer will find you inadmissible on health grounds(excessive demand) if your costs are morethan the cost threshold.
