I've been researching the Express Entry Program in particular, and I neglected to take into account a crucial aspect of me: my disability. I was born with a condition that has made my right leg passive. I use crutches and my left leg to walk around. I am 100% independent. I got a degree in Computer Sciences by attending a public university. I go to work by bus and do almost everything like any other non-disabled person.
Legally speaking, I am a disabled person. My country recognizes my condition, and I get a small monetary compensation every month. I knew that I would eventually have a medical exam, and I intended to tell them about my condition. Undoubtedly the examiners would recognize my health status and disability. It is worth mentioning that I don't suffer from any form of sickness; I don't have a disease; I have a life-long condition. With that said, I don't use any kind of medication other than common analgesics for my occasional headaches. In the last past five years, I've spent less than 1000 euros for my health.
I did some research online, and my situation seems rather bleak. From what I read, I discovered that Canada has some strict rules when it comes to immigrating with a disability, and I most probably wouldn't stand a chance.
I want someone's advice regarding my concern. Knowing my situation, would you advise me to try and submit an application via the Express Entry Program? I estimated that I need roughly 3000 euros in fees to apply. I would like not to spend that amount of money for nothing.
The next thing I would like to know is, are there immigration lawyers concentrated on immigrating for disabled people or similar circumstances like mine?
Thank you.
