what medical disorders will delay or refuse entry?

[BtnMacbar]

Hi,
My Husband's application has passed the sponsorship however due to the medical examination he had to have we have discovered my Husband has IGA Nephropathy, a kidney disorder, very early stages and still has normal kidney function and normal hypertension but will have to take medication for the rest of his life.

After the immigration medical he had further tests by the nhs and finally have been given this diagnosis. Does anyone know if I can send a full report from his consultant to the immigration offices in London, where our application is being processed? And will this help the application?

And if it will delay our application (and for how long?) or if we will be denied??

Cheers

Hi what are the medical examination done for him? Did the dr said that this might cause refusal? As what I have heared, HIV , Hepatitis and Tuberculosis are the reasons for not passing medical but it is just a third hand info.

Thanks for the reply.
no his NHS consultant couldn't say if it would have an effect as she has no idea about immigrating, however the doctor who performed the immigration medical (who found the protein in the urine) said that it could be a problem before we even knew what was the cause of the protein was.

Now, after visiting his gp and having a kidney biopsy performed, we know that it is IGA nephropathy and we know he should be able to stop the condition worsening.

I have heard too that it shouldn't mean we get refused entry however I have heard that more medical tests are usually wanted, which could delay things?? So would it help if I sent a report from his GP so they have more information even though it will not be from the immigration doctor??

so I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone has had a similar experience and can give me an idea of how much of delay i can anticipate?

Here is the list of reasons that one would be declared inadmissible to Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/who.asp

Note the only ones for health are
health grounds – if their condition is likely to:
endanger public health or public safety, or
cause excessive demands on health or social services

However for anyone coming in the family class:
Some groups of permanent resident applicants are exempt from the excessive demands assessment:
family class sponsored spouses, common-law partners and dependent children

So as long as the condition does not pose a threat to other Canadians (by being contagious or transferable), then you should not have to worry at all about a medical condition causing a family member to be denied. So once this fact is established i can't see why there would be much of a delay.
