What is status in Canada? A visitor? On a supervisa? If so is he compliant with the annual supervisa insurance requirement? When does the visit expire? Processing for H&C for most is now multiple years with no guarantee of approval. He may be denied because of the high cost of his medical care. Have you sought out treatment options in and out of Canada while file is being processed? There may not be an option to pay out of pocket because provincial healthcare holders are prioritized or it may be too costly depending on your level of savings.
He’s on Supervisa. Visa valid till 2031. Can still stay for 3 more years. Just waiting to get AIP so that he can have access to health care. Have insurance already.

He may not be able to qualify for supervisa insurance which is required to be purchased annually to visit on a supervisa. Certainly won’t cover nephrology going forward. Don’t think you realize that AIP is far from guaranteed and may take 5+ yrs just to be assessed. Your father is in a huge backlog of tens of thousands of applicants for a very small amount of spots that is scheduled to get even smaller for the next few years. Think they are still processing applications from 2022/23. You need a plan B, C, D, etc.

Processing may start in a year. Until then you are likely just waiting in a queue unless they reform them program.
 
okay thanks so much for the reply and just a waiting game now. fingers crossed.

The H&C programs are a mess. Way too many applicants for an ever decreasing number of spots every year. Processing times are going to increase. You should be looking at other options to remain in Canada. H&C applications also do not prevent removal and we are seeing people without status being removed while their H&C applications are being processed. Processing will continue while they are outside of Canada.
