Unfortunately there's really nothing you can do but wait for IRCC to complete their further review of your wife's medicals. I assume you have not received a procedural fairness letter yet?
Unfortunately given her genetic kidney condition this was pretty predictable from the start. This is one of the risks of coming to Canada as a temporary resident knowing you have health issues that may get worse over time. The fact that a transplant seems inevitable may be one of the considerations. Have you already been approved as a donor for your spouse? Typically people aren’t matched until transplant is a consideration. Kidney disease is one of the big issues that IRCC looks for because dialysis is very expensive and so is a transplant although less expensive over the longterm. I assume that because a very large percentage of newcomers are from South East Asia where there is a high prevalence of kidney disease that is another reason they look for kidney function. Nobody can anticipate what IRCC will do. Their medical staff will be reviewing by our wife’s test results, the nephrologists letter and researching their genetic condition.
It is impossible to say what will happen. It really depends on the actual medicals. How severe kidney function is now. Based on her genetic condition it seems that transplant is going to be necessary but when will be a factor. It 20 years from now likely not an issue but 0-10 years could be an issue. If you have done all the testing to know that you qualify as a match and will be donating your kidney that could be an argument that costs will be somewhat contained because dialysis will hopefully will be avoided. You both will then have to prove that you will not place excessive demands on the healthcare system since you wi both have surgery. Would also show that you have additional funds to support yourselves to supplement time off and have jobs that have extended health benefits and are not dependent on the province for things like medication and other healthcare costs not covered by the provincial govenment. If you do get PFL you should hire a lawyer who has experience with excessive medical demands for you best shot at getting PR.
There's really nothing you can do but wait for IRCC to further process your application. Good luck.
Just wanted to ask you one thing if you can shed some light on it….If i go to my local MP or Minister ask for a recommendation or seek for any help will that be any good like an exemption from their end…Or should we wait until we get any decision from ircc….I am asking as I saw an M5 on her medical gcms note and feeling helpless as we want to call it home….Thanks for your help and Thanking you guys won’t be enough for the support you gave to us….
MPs cannot change or influence IRCC decisions. MPs certainly cannot grant medical exemptions. All the MP can really do is inquire about the status of your application. But you already know that information.
It's hard for any of us to really answer that. It will depend on how IRCC has assessed her medical condition. If you get a PFL, then my recommendation will be to hire an immigration lawyer to help you with the response.
Was your wife asked to provide more medical information or do more testing? It can take up to a few months to have medicals reviewed by an MD working for IRCC.
We already provided doctors note and since then no update. What about you? Are you on the same boat?
When did you submit the additional medical information? Typically it will take at least a month for the information to be reviewed but can be much longer. What stage is the CKD? Stage 4? Not waiting for a medical to be processed.
