Disabled immigrant/family member

[Brigid from Ireland]

Does anyone know what are the current immigration rules for Canada in the case of an immigrant with a disability or long term health problem?

Also what are the issues if the child of an immigrant has a long term disability?

Does anyone have a link to Canadian rules for disabled immigrants?

Quite frankly everyone knows that link and it does not answer the question. (this is a very reason this forum exists!). I would also be interested to know the answer to this question.

Then instead of observe and criticize, do your due diligence and at least try to help OP.

Thanks for that.

I am trying to work out what constitutes 'excessive demand' on health or social services from the point of view of illness or disability. If anyone can explain it in easy language that would be good.

Some family members need to move to a country with better health care, and all countries are under consideration. I think from research so far that EU countries are more likely to give full rights to immigrants with disabled family member, so that family member can access proper health care on same basis as a native citizen. So far my research shows EU is better if disabled.

It has been explained to me that anything in excess on $5,000 - $6,000 yearly, it's considered excessive.

I must agree with you in terms of the quality and access to health care in Europe. It's the best I've had. Mind here in Canada my family and I enjoy the Provincial Health Care, and also our employers have provided us with some private health insurance, which enhances our benefits.

Unlike in the US, we aren't afraid to become ill
