A query-Regarding Disabled family memeber

[Chd]

Dear Friends

I have a query, I would be happy, if anyone of you could address it.

I have applied for PR along with my wife and a newborn child, by GOD grace I may get it. Now after I move to canada, behind here in India I shall be leaving my parents and sister. My sister has a problem of down syndrome, means she has a intellectual(mental) disability i.e. though her age is more but the brain development is slow. There is no problem otherwise, not violent , not aggressive but she is just like a small child.

Now my issue is if can I take her along with me, may be after I am able to sponsor my family, or may be after I get a Citizenship. Since there will be no one here in India to take care of her after my parents, so this question is prime importance to me. So I am worried will canada allow me to take her with me there may be now or maybe afterwards. Because if not then I cannot leave her alone here, I am very confused and worried

If anyone of you could address this problem, or provide the details of some one who could help me address this??

For medical issues like this you wouldn't be denied. They are concerned about severely contagious diseases that would threaten the lives of people living in Canada. Now, this applies to Family Class! Other classes have separate medical requirements. But for Family Class I do not see a problem with sponsoring a child or adult family member with Down Syndrome. That is obviously not contagious and is not a threat to Canada.

I'm not sure about being able to sponsor siblings. But,

See this thread:

Seemingly, if you're applying for PR through a skilled worker visa, then maybe not. If applying through family sponsorship, then yes.

There is no realistic way that you are going to be able to directly sponsor a sibling while either of your parents are alive. They take priority and she would have to be included as their dependant, if you choose to sponsor them. The Excessive Demand Exemption does not apply to parent sponsorship and that also is the case for any dependants, so she or they, could be refused on that basis.

But what I have been told is that generally there is denial to disabled people because CANADA considers its a liability on their economy.Please correct me if I am wrong?

Ok, but what after the parents, will I be able to take her along with me to CANADA, or are there still chances of her visa refusal on medical conditions
Secondly If I sponsor parents and my sister being dependant on them,What are the chances of getting visa? or are the chances very dim

I am stuck up because of this, since I will be able to move with my spouse and child, but I am concerned about my sister during the later stage of my life.

This is wrong. It only applies to spousal sponsorships and dependent children. It does not apply to parent / sibling sponsorships. They can and are refused for being a burden on Canada's medical and health care system.

I'm sorry. I agree with zardoz. There are no realistic options for bringing your sister to Canada permanently. Whatever plans you make for the future, you should assume your sister will continue to live in her home country for the rest of her life.

It's impossible to say if there would be a medical refusal. You would just have to apply and see what happens.

You are looking at at least 4 years AFTER you become a PR, assuming that you are not already employed in Canada, because of the income requirements, before you could even think about sponsorship of your parents.

Even if you are lucky enough to get into the permitted intake for that year, you should assume that the process will take 4 more years before your parents and their dependant will be able to become PRs.

You need to be thinking long term and base any decisions on that. I'm assuming that your sister would qualify as a Type 2 dependant, even if she ceases to be a Type 1 at some point in time.

Thanks for the response, though seems like an end to my dream of moving to CANADA , anyhow lets see

Sorry about that, I misread the original post and thought that he/she had legal custody due to her disability. I thought she was her legal daughter for some reason. My mistake.

If you could please clarify on type 1 and type 2 dependant?

Type 1
The dependent is under the age of 19 and single (not married and not in a common-law relationship).

Type 2
The dependent is 19 years of age or older, has been financially dependent on a parent since before the age of 19 due to a physical or mental condition.

What are the options if the husband is disabled but does not have any contagious disease.

What are the options if the husband is disabled but does not have any contagious disease.

As you were told in your other thread, your husband is likely medically inadmissible.
