wife diagnosed with Cancer during visa process

[RobsLuv]

First of all sorry to hear about your wife brother.  For your question, I am not 100% sure but I think it will effect your file with CHC as they will be concern that your wife will be using a lot of medical resources right after her medical benefit gets granted.  Thats the reason every new comer has to wait 3 months for their medical benefits to kick in.  If the medical wasn't free in Canada (like USA) it wouldn't have mattered that much to them but since it is free, they will defenately be concerned.  But again I am not sure about this but just wanted to give you a heads up.

bigmakdaddy is wrong - spousal applicants are excessive demand exempt!  Cancer does not make your wife inadmissible to Canada!

(c) is a protected person; or

(d) is, where prescribed by the regulations, the spouse, common-law partner, child or other family member of a foreign national referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (c).[/quote]

From Section 24 of the Regulations

Skilled Worker applications are different from Family Class.  Family Class is the only immigration "stream" that allows for excessive medical demand exemption for spouses.

Husband2010- wow I am very sorry to hear this sad news about you wife, and its even more devastating when she is so young, but you are right. Hold onto faith, hope and prayer and she will pull through. My uncle had colon cancer and lived through it and is 2 yrs cancer free now. My other uncle just found out he has it about 2 mths ago and is undergoing chemo right now. He is stage 3 as well. The family was devastated to hear these news so I can imagine how you must be feeling. Just make sure on the days she feels well she's out getting fresh air, laughing and enjoying life. I'm sure there are days where its very rough for her and she's sick. My dad also is a cancer survivor!! With everyones hopes and prayers she will get through this difficult time. I'm praying for you both!!!!! Take care

Hi there,
First off, I'm very sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. I know it's an added stress onto an already stressful situation. I know, because I went through the same thing. I sponsored my boyfriend via the conjugal route and after we submitted our completed application he was also diagnosed with cancer. We did inform the Visa office of the news and it did not affect the decision negatively, he received his PR card and has since landed, got his Health Card, and is now looking for an Oncologist in Ontario to continue his follow up appointments.

Hope this calms your nerves.
