Overview

Navigating Medical Inadmissibility for Canadian Immigration

At MSAWEST Immigration & Visa Services, we understand the complexity and sensitivity surrounding medical inadmissibility and its impact on your Canadian immigration journey. We are here to provide compassionate guidance and expert solutions if you face medical inadmissibility concerns.

Understanding Medical Inadmissibility

The Examination Process:

All candidates for Canadian immigration visas and some temporary status applicants must complete a medical exam. These exams cover standard physical assessments, including lab tests and x-rays, along with evaluations of past medical records and mental health

The Criteria:

Medical inadmissibility is determined under two circumstances:

  • If the individual’s condition poses a potential danger to public health or safety.
  • If the condition is likely to place an excessive demand on Canada’s health or social services.

The Assessment Factors:

  • Risk of contagious diseases.
  • Behaviour potentially endangering public safety.
  • The projected demand on health or social services versus available resources.

Strategies to Overcome Medical Inadmissibility

Legal Avenues:

When faced with medical inadmissibility, legal avenues are available to challenge the decision:

  • Responding to a procedural fairness letter with substantial evidence demonstrating that the medical costs won’t exceed national average expenditures or highlighting compelling humanitarian considerations.
  • Pursuing a judicial review in the Federal Court of Canada if the inadmissibility decision is deemed unreasonable.

Health Conditions Addressed:

We specialize in addressing a broad range of health conditions that may lead to medical inadmissibility, including, but not limited to:

  • Chronic diseases such as Kidney Disease, Cardiac Disease, and Diabetes.
  • Autoimmune Diseases, including AIDS and Lupus.
  • Neurological, developmental, and psychiatric disorders.
  • Blood, liver, and infectious diseases.

Temporary Residency Considerations:

For temporary visits, a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) may provide a solution to those deemed medically inadmissible, enabling them to enter Canada for a limited period.

At MSAWEST Immigration & Visa Services, we stand by your side throughout this challenging process. We believe that medical conditions should not define your future and are committed to exploring every possible avenue to help you achieve your Canadian immigration goals.
