Moving to Canada with MS

[Woolysocks]

Hello
My adult children (early 20's) and I would like to immigrate to NB. My children's father was born in Canada so they were going to apply for there passports and then apply to sponsor me as a pr. The problem being that I have MS. We have enough money to buy property and live independently, I would also have a pension coming in. What do you think my chances would be? Are sick people ever given pr status?
Any advice you could give me would be invaluable.
Many thank
WS

Who is going to sponsor your for PR? Your children?

As a spouse sponsored PR, you would be exempt from medical inadmissibility. Your health would not be a reason to be refused.. If your children plan to sponsor you, it will be a problem.

Your question implies that the father is not part of this endeavor...

That was the plan, yes.

OK - so be aware that one of your children will have to move to Canada and live & work there for at least three years to meet the income requirements before they will qualify to sponsor you. Only a limited number of parent sponsorship applications are accepted each year - so hard to say right now how long it will take them to be selected after they qualify to apply. You should assume it will be a minimum of four years (quite possibly more) after they move to Canada before you will be able to come here.

As for your MS, it's hard to say and will depend on the severity of your condition at the time you take the medical and prognosis. You will have to pass the medical and IRCC will be looking to ensure you will not be a burden to the medical or social care system in Canada for the next decade after you become a PR. I would say there's certainly quite a significant chance of refusal - but also some possibility you may be approved. Very hard to say in advance. Quite possible you may have to be satisfied with short visits to Canada to visit your children but won't be able to move/live here.

He may well join us when he retires but n we are no longer married. So there is no hope for me?

Sorry for the editing... I realised that I may have misread the circumstances.
If you are no longer together, he can't sponsor you, so it all falls back to what @scylla already said.

He cannot sponsor you since you are no longer married. Your children would have to sponsor you - however it's impossible for any of us to say if your PR will be approved due to your medical condition.

It's not that there's no hope. But your MS will cause complications with a PR application and approval is far from guaranteed.

Also see my post above as well on what requirements your children will have to meet in order to sponsor you. They will not be able to sponsor you as soon as they move to Canada. It will be at least three years after they move to Canada (maybe more) before they will qualify.

Thank you yes, we were aware. We were going to spend the time buying houses to rent out to build up an income to support the three of us while I still worked full time in the UK but it is probably not the best idea given my chances. Thanks again.
