I have received our visas under PR and our cpr for me and my family shows brown on the eye colour wch I'm scared if dey may classified it to be black bcos we are from Nigeria in Africa. Wot could possibly happen at the port of entry. I notify the Visa office for a change but their reply was"you can travel with the visa and report at the port of entry wen u get to canada about the eye colour" I'm. Confused I don't know wot this could mean. 2 do they toroughly check at the port of entry?

"Brown" is correct. There is probably no such colour as true "Black" for eyes. Do not worry, as they really are not going to be that strict.
IMM 0008 actually has black as an option for eye colour, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf
They have "black", "blue", "brown", "green", "grey", "hazel", "other", "pink" and "sea green". Personally wonder why the list did not end with "other". I have never seen anyone with pink eyes. I tried to do an image search but the only ones I found were of people with eye infections or photoshopped. I also wonder if there is a big difference between green and sea green. Maybe somebody at immigration was making a joke.
In any case, like I said in my other reply on your other thread, I can't imagine it will pose a problem. I had bluegrey as my eye colour in my passport and immigration put them as blue so for several years I was travelling with a passport and PR card that did not match each other and never had a problem.
If it worries you, tell the IO about it when you land and ask them if they feel they should correct it. They will look at your eyes and decide.

"Pink" eyes is the commonly held misbelief about people with Albinism.
In fact, the true eye colour is there anyway, but because of the hypo-pigmentation, the light reflection from inside the eyes makes them look "pink". Both my children have blue eyes but it is sometimes difficult to clearly see because of their albinism.

It's impossible to answer that as the impact of albinism on the individual can vary greatly. You will have to see what the results of the medical examination are, as it will determine what the financial demand on Canada might be. It certainly could be a problem.wyp19845 said:
Is your child under any regular medical care? Is it expected that your child will need extensive medical care (e.g. surgery) in the future? If not - then you most likely don't have anything to worry about.wyp19845 said:
Albinism is more complex than that. Medical care is usually minimal. It's the requirements for "special needs" education and support that starts building up the ongoing costs. Albinism can range from mild annoyance to full visual impairment. My two boys are mid-range, with one markedly better than the other. They would almost certainly have been inadmissible due to educational support costs and disability allowances.scylla said:
Not if you are applying for PR as a member of an Economic Class. All of you must be admissible or the application will be refused for all of you. CIC closed that loophole years ago.wyp19845 said:
Actually I am applying through professional immigration. The reason why I ask that is I saw in one website that they have to consider so-called family sponsorship before they reject an application because of excessive demand on health or social service.zardoz said:
