Hi, Does anybody out there know the answer to this question? My husband has a two year working visa and we are coming over in June with 3 kids. We would like to apply for permanent residency but dont know if we would be accepted as my husband has had heart stents fitted and is on some medication but will only end up taking dispersible aspirin which you can buy over the counter. Would this be a problem for us to get our perm residency.

This is difficult to answer because every medical issue is subjective and based on the determination of the immigration medical office.
Your husband´s case does not sound like cause for inadmissibility to me based on the guidelines. But this is only my opinion.
Here´s the official guideline that might help:
Every applicant for a Canada Immigration Visa and some applicants for temporary status in Canada are required to undergo a medical examination by a medical officer.
Though medical examinations are generally confined to a standard physical exam including blood and urine tests and x-rays, prior medical records as well as the applicants´ mental state are examined.
Applicants may be denied a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa solely on medical grounds, if:
* Their condition would endanger the health or safety of the Canadian population at large; or
* Their admission might cause excessive demand on existing social or health services provided by the government.
When determining whether any person is inadmissible on medical grounds, the medical officer is obliged to consider the nature, severity or probable duration of any health impairment from which the person is suffering as well as other factors, such as:
* Danger of contagion;
* Unpredictable or unusual behaviour that may create a danger to public safety; and
* The supply of social or health services that the person may require in Canada and whether the use of such services will deprive Canadian nationals of these services.
Note: The excessive demand component is waived under the Family Sponsorship category of Canada immigration for the spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner and dependent children of the Sponsor. The Sponsored person(s) still may be refused if their condition is considered to be a danger to Canadian public health or safety.

Okay so he is coming on an employer specific work permit from a country that he would need a medical or not?
In three months except Alberta he will get free medical coverage. If he is not an excessive demand during his work permit period then why would CIC think he would be if he immigrates.
I wish I knew what "stents" are but due to my ignorance I will have to ask the DMP all my clients go to.
If I get time I will ask.

Stents , usually put in after a bypass op to keep a blood vessel open. Look like little wire mesh tubes.

Debbie,
The benefits from use of stents these days is not an unusual occurrence at all. In my opinion, it would not be considered excessive demand on Canadian health services. You and your husband should feel confident in applying for perm. residency.

Thanks to you all, its made me and my husband feel better. Roy, stents are wire mesh, sprung loaded tubes inserted into the atery via the groin or wrist up to the narrowed artery in the heart. Quite a procedure but saves open heart surgery. My husbands consultant is not at all worried about us coming over, wanted him back at work after 6 weeks, and his secretary is Caadian who is quite jealous of us. (what is she doing in England when Canada is so beautiful?)

An open heart surgery would be the reason for refusal of mine to get Canadian immegration? as a skilled worker. (in reply to: Permanent Residency and Health.)
Hi!
I am very interested to get Canadian immigration visa as a skilled worker. I have a great problem that 6 years ago I had an open heart surgery .i.e. Mitral valve replace. So could you tell me? Whether I am medically fit or unfit to be processed the Canadian immigration procedure or have the eligibility for getting Canadian visa as a skilled worker.
I’m looking FWD to your prompt response.
Thanks,

heart problem (in reply to: Permanent Residency and Health.)
May I ask your opinion about my immigration problem. I received a letter of approval for provincial nominee program, out of curiosity I did an advance medical exam and find out that I have a mild heart valve regurgitation (aorta), my question is shall take the medical exam and take my chance or correct my heart problem then take the medical exam? (operation will replace the heart valve with mechanical device and requires to take daily medication for life), which option will give me a better chance (of not being refused due to excessive demand on healthcare).
Thank you in advance

heart problem, medical (in reply to: Permanent Residency and Health.)
Garry, You only have a short ammount of time to get your medical back in to immigration, about 6 weeks I think.....Don´t worry about getting the heart problem fixed before that as the medication will be hopefully covered on your health insurance. My husbands problem with his heart was never a problem so it should be okay, I think the medicals are more for if you have a contagious disease, you have to have a chest X-ray, i think thats to check for TB but other than that I think you will be fine....!

Hi everyone. I have the same problem. During our medical for canada we have found out that my husband has Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgitation. The cardiologist gave us a certificate with Very Good Prognosis. Will this be a caused of rejection. MY husband doesn´t feel any symptoms but the recommendation for his disease is surgery, Mitra Valve Repair. Thank you fo your advice.
