What is the status of your case now? I hv similar problem like yours as my daughter is also suffering fr thalassemia major. I'm worry my application will b rejected because of her condition.... Don't know what to do? Do u know how much is the medical bill for a thalassemia patient care in Canada?

There are in most cases 2 reasons why someone can fail the medicals.  1 is excessive demand, that is you are too expensive for health care and 2 is contagious disease, a risk to the Canadian public.

Spouses and dependent children being sponsored by a citizen or a PR can not fail the medicals based on excessive demand.  They are exempt from that.
