This Week’s Success Story: Family Reunited In Canada Despite Medical Inadmissibility Finding

Legal Team — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 17:24:45 +0000

Our clients sponsored their family members over 8 years ago. The application was in limbo for a number of years and then delayed further when one of the Applicants was found to likely be medically inadmissible because of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The Applicant was determined to ultimately cause an excessive demand on the medical services in Canada. Following close examination of the Applicant’s particular circumstances of CKD, and working with medical specialists, we were able to secure appropriate medical evidence and advocate on the family’s behalf to demonstrate to the Medical and Visa Officer that the Applicant would not cause an excessive demand on medical services in Canada. The family’s application has been approved and they have all been reunited in Canada.

Furthermore, we worked with the employer to provide new advertisements adhering to the recruitment requirements.

Applicants who are required to provide digital fingerprints and digital in-person photos will not be able to do it in advance of the visa application. Just like with medicals, the applicant must be prompted or do the biometrics when making the application at a Visa Application Centre.

It is not possible to get biometrics tests in Canada, applicants need to have them done abroad.

A citizen of a biometrics requiring country who is living in a third country might not be able to find a VAC to get their screening, therefore all visa offices will be equipped with “emergency biometrics facilities”

Biometrics will be required for new entry visas but not for extensions.
