Hi,

I know it has been asked here a couple of times. But i have been reading threads from a long time ago. Has there been any changes on the acceptance/rejection of people with Down Syndrome?
My son is 4 yo and had Down Syndrome. We are able to survive living independently in Singapore and did not rely on anyone or the government for support. We have also gotten insurances for ourselves and that of our children to protect them. We have several other insurances in place to make sure our children are protected and will be able to provide for themselves in the future. Is there any chance we could potentially be given visa?

Thanks for all your advise.

Regarding medical conditions, IRCC checks whether the medical condition will be additional burden to the economy. To start with you can google and find some of the government healthcare sites that will definitely have some information about how people with down syndrome are insured, what is the medical cost every year and other elated things that will help you.

It also depends upon the fact that by what extend the medical condition has impacted the daily routine of the person. I understand that it is big decision for you, but try to search more about people with down syndrome migrating to CANADA (and I guess you have done a bit of that :)). Understand how their case was handled by IRCC? What kind of documents IRCC asked them?

If you get confident applying yourself after researching a lot, great. But if not and you have some good amount of money with you, hire a good immigration lawyer instead of any consultant.

Best of luck while searching for more information and applying for PR. :)
