Medical Inadmissibility to Canada: What You Need to Know

If you or a family member have a medical condition, you may be deemed medically inadmissible to Canada. This can affect your ability to immigrate, work, or study in Canada. At North Vista Immigration, we help individuals understand and navigate the complexities of medical inadmissibility to ensure a smooth immigration process.

What is Medical Inadmissibility?

According to Canadian immigration law, a foreign national may be found medically inadmissible if their health condition:  

  • Poses a danger to public health or safety. 
  • It might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on Canada’s health or social services.  

Excessive demand refers to: 

  • Health services would exceed the average Canadian per capita costs over 5 years.
  • Social services such as special education, personal support services, or rehabilitation.

How to Overcome Medical Inadmissibility?

If you or a family member are found medically inadmissible, there are still options to pursue your Canadian immigration goals:  

Mitigation Measures
You can demonstrate that you have a plan to cover the costs of your medical or social services, thereby reducing the burden on Canada’s systems. This may include: 1. Private health insurance. 2. Proof of financial resources to cover medical expenses. 3. A signed commitment from a family member or organization to cover costs.
Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Considerations
In some cases, you may apply for H&C relief if you can demonstrate that your circumstances warrant an exception to the medical inadmissibility rules. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
If you need to enter Canada temporarily (e.g., for work, study, or family visits), you may apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP). This permit allows individuals who are medically inadmissible to enter Canada for a specific period.

Who Can Be Found Medically Inadmissible?
You or a family member may be deemed medically inadmissible if: 1. You have a condition that requires ongoing medical treatment or social services. 2. Your condition is contagious and poses a risk to public health (e.g., untreated tuberculosis). 3. Your condition could strain Canada’s healthcare or social systems. However, not all medical conditions result in inadmissibility. For example, conditions that are not contagious and do not place excessive demand on services may not lead to a refusal.
Exemptions to Medical Inadmissibility?
Certain individuals are exempt from medical inadmissibility rules, including: 1. Refugees and protected persons. 2. Dependent children of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. 3. Spouses or common-law partners of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
