Hello, I have partial epilepsy and have had no symptoms for over 12 years, I take Topamax 100 mg twice a day, which is not expensive at all. My sponsor is my wife, who is the main applicant for permanent residence. My question is, is it possible to be rejected in the medical examination?
rejected in the medical examination?

- Start date
It is possible but highly unlikely that you will receive a PFL letter. A PFL is given if IRCC feels that your epilepsy is and will be a burden on the heath care system. All you can do is wait and see if you pass the medical.
Exceptions
Medical inadmissibility rules for excessive demand reasons don’t apply to:
Medical inadmissibility rules for excessive demand reasons don’t apply to:
- refugees and their dependants
- protected persons
- certain people being sponsored by their family, such as dependant children, spouses and common-law partners
Sponsor can`t be primary applicant. Your wife is a sponsor, and you are a primary applicant. Excessive demand doesn`t apply to you in that case. See my post above.
I don't think the OP is being sponsored through spousal sponsorship. OP said his spouse is the primary applicant which makes me think this is an economic immigration application (in which case medical inadmissibility rules do in fact apply).
You are right!! I was not reading the post careful enough and making assumption that since this is the family class sponsorship section, it's related.
In this case, yes, he may be subject to excessive medical and be inadmissible.
It depends on the medical assessment.
@Amir.h.k Your wife is NOT your sponsor. You are the dependent in her PR application. There is no "sponsorship" in the application.
I've actually spotted this hence my second post, hinting the OP about possible error. But since the OP posted in family class, I decided to keep the information relevant to this section of the forum.
