If the Diabetes has effected your Organs that can lead to chronic failure, they may be concerned for you as a medical liability in the future. Although people in the past have migrated to Canada with Type-I Diabetes.

Only concern is if you have not developed any other complication due to your Diabetes.

the principal applicant for us is a type 1 diabetic and this was a worry for us. However we were advised that as long as you maintain regular checkups and your diabetes is stable, there shouldn't be a problem.
Good Luck x

I assume you're joking? That statistic is completely incorrect.

You need to see this below:
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.

My husband is 55 years old and Type 1 Diabetes and he had kidney transplant in 2004. He has regular check ups with his Kidney Doctor and Diabetes Doctor. Everything is doing good with his kidney and diabetes and he is currently employed. Would there be any hindrances if I will sponsor him to Canada? I am a Canadian citizen and living together with my husband here in United States but we are planning to move to Canada.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

As a Canadian citizen your spouse is exempt from the Excessive Demand eligibility determination.

There will be no medical inadmissibility - well, they will still check for "Danger to Public Health and/or Safety", but he doesn't have a highly contagious disease so there won't be an issue.

Insulin has become very expensive though so you do have to think about the cost of medication and diabetic supplies which are often not covered. You should look at the costs that you will incur especially if moving without employment. You are lucky because he doesn’t have to go through medical inadmissibility because he may have had difficulty passing.
