He undergone radical nephrectomy last feb 2007, according to his doctors he is now free from cancer and there is no recurrency. I want to know if the condition of my husband will be a ground of medical inadmissible to canada. By the way my husband is the principal applicant and he has a job waiting for him in canada

his oncologist advise him to have a follow-up ct scan every 6 months for 2 years then annually for 5 years

Answer 1

A cancer diagnosis, even if it was treated successfully, can be grounds to deny admission to Canada. They have a social health program in place that they need to protect. They do not want people who have cancer immigrating to Canada and than be required to pay for the cost of cancer treatment if they relapse. Any country with socialized medicine would probably be the same. You may be able to still live there but not be able to become citizens for undetermined amount of time . . especially since your husband just had a diagnosis of cancer only a few months ago. Which means that your husband would not be covered for any type of cancer treatment should he need it. I'm not sure if he could pick up a private health insurance policy or not.

If your husband is denied entry based on being medically inadmissable, you may want to consider hiring a lawyer to help you weed through this process.

However, a major consideration for you must be the health of your husband and his ability to receive critical cancer treatment should he need it.

Answer 2

Your husband's long-term prognosis is related to the stage of the disease. Make sure to see an oncologist to discuss the stage, prognosis and surveillance needed for your husband. Once you know this information, then you can discuss this with the responsible authorities. You may need a letter from your doctor and medical records if the authorities request it . At the minimum, he should have periodic chest X rays, physical exams and (maybe CT scans if the system allows) doctor visits. Only Canadian immigration can decide if based on the information you provide, your husband will be pose a greater than ordinary demand on the health care system enough to make him medically inadmissible . In my own opinion, I don't believe this is the case since he already had his treatment.

Answer 3

If the papers are approved, you all will need a general checkup to prove you will not be a health risk or a burden to the Canada health system. Hope he doesnt fail the checkup...

Answer 4

Your doctors lied. I had that when I was 11 years old and was told it is a cancer that very commonly reoccurs, so be sure to get check ups at least yearly in the form of chest x-ray and abdominal ultrasounds. Sorry to raise your stress.

Answer 5

I dont think you will face any problem now. Contact the concerned authority, every thing will be resolved.
