Found out mom have cancer after application

[armoured]

If it helps you, one of my friends wife had the same issue. During application we found she had cancer, she underwent surgery and is recovering. Their family became PR. Canada did not even do a follow-up furtherance. Biggest difference is they were in-canada applicants. The guy had a heart issue and underwent surgery one and a half years back and wife was found to have cancer just before application.

Canada's goal is to limit burden on medical system... It seems conditions like kidney issues and heart issues are more troublesome because they have very predictable degradiation and demand. Cancer is a very different beast.

It sounds like what's different in this case was that it was a spousal sponsorship, not a parental sponsorship (if I understood correctly your description). "Excessive demand" exclusion criteria is not applied for spousal sponsorship (nor of dependents i.e. children). Basically they only apply medical criteria that would amount to public health/danger to public issues, and most of those are handled by treatment and follow-up (eg communicable diseases).

I think this was probably an in-Canada EE or PNP application based on how this was described. But I may be mistaken.

It was not a spousal application. It was an in-land PNP application with his wife as dependent.
PA has heart issues for which he underwent surgery in 2021 and dependent had surgery in late 2022 for removal of a large tumor followed by rounds of chemo and radiation.

There was no furtherance. Was it due to their inland status, is not know. Lawyer mentioned that there will be no follow up in such cases because predictability is not much. This is unlike predictable degradiation in kidney and heart issues. If they can not reasonably show that a person will require additional treatment, apparently they give benefit of doubt.
