Applied for the PR

[tully]

I got BC pnp nomination and I have already applied for the PR under Canadian Experience class. My question is one of my daughters has Autism and she is getting special education here in Canada, no medication, would that be an issue for the final decision of the application? Has any one gone through this situation? Please comment.

It may or it may not be.

As part of application processing, IRCC will assess what the costs of her conditions are to the medical and social services systems in Canada. So they will look at what the special education she is receiving costs the system. If they assess this amount as under $20,000 per year, then you should be fine. If over, then you can expect to receive something called a PFL (procedure fairness letter) which will indicate that IRCC plans to refuse your application and give you a chance to argue otherwise (i.e. argue and prove the costs to the system are under $20K). If you happen to get a PFL, my recommendation would be that you engage a lawyer to support you in responding.

Thanks for your comment . My understanding is as per IRCC web site, Special education doesn't come under social services as per 1st june 2018 temporary public policy. Hope this is still in force. Do you know about this?

That's entirely possible. I know the amount went up to $20K. I'm not familiar with the education piece.

Special education isn't but any therapy she receives could be considered.
