I live in the United States and im disabled. I have epilepsy but ive been told i cant qualify to move because i have no work experience or schooling beyond 11th grade. I cant work though. My fiance lives in Canada, and he has a full time job and a home ready for me to move into with him and my daughter also but i have no citizenship there yet. Can anyone help me out? Ive tried calling all kinds of numbers, and ive tried going to all kinds of offices but no ones really helped me..
Immigration Eligibility For Disabled Person

If you get married, your fiance can sponsor you for permanent residency. The process should take about a year. In the mean time, if you are a US citizen, you can visit him up to six months with no visa. When the six months is over, you either have to leave and return or you can apply for extension. As a visitor, you are not allowed to work in Canada. If you find a job, you will have to make a different arrangement to obtain work authorization.
Right. If you and your fiance get married, he can sponsor you and your daughter for permanent residency. In order to immigrate with your child, you will need to show that you have either full custody of her or that you have her fathers permission.
I hope the following will ease your mind.

The excessive demand component is waived under the Family Sponsorship category of Canada immigration for the spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner and dependent children of the Sponsor. The Sponsored person(s) still may be refused if their condition is considered to be a danger to Canadian public health or safety.

No, like Pippin says, spouses are exempt from the excessive demand clause.
There are two reasons somebody might be deemed inadmissible to Canada because of medical reasons.
1) their illness/disability will be a drain on public funds (excessive demand)
2) their illness is dangerous to public health
Spouses are exempt from 1) and 2) does not apply to you.
