Don't know what happened to my last response but it was not here after I posted it, so here goes again. Her son and grandson and their families have contributed much to Canada as residents and business owners for years. All we want is to help our aging grandmother. There are many, many...

I think that in what you were referring to I was talking about a medical for medical insurance coverage during a 6 month temporary visa. But I also did figure she would have to have a medical before being granted permanent resident status. I would think that getting the medical years after...

I believe it was out of line to try to use my grandmother desire to join her family here as an example of ripping off the Canadian medical system. I said what I said in the subject because I knew nothing of any of the processes to get her here until I got my first response from scylla. I am no...

Most of her friends have passed away and family all moved so she is very lonely. I would like to try and get her here if possible. My main concern is her age and health care. She has money and can afford to pay for doctors and most things but I am afraid of major hospital charges. The big fear...
