Medical examination related query

[Canadapr009]

I am writing this on behalf of a friend who recently got diagnosed with blood cancer called Essential Thrombocythemia. It’s a rare form of cancer, basically a chronic condition in which a person has high platelet levels in the blood. Now the patient just has to get a blood test every three months and take a medicine every single day for the rest of their lives. This friend of mine is very energetic and the cancer is no way hindering his lifestyle. It’s just that he has to take this pill everyday. Now keeping the situation in mind will the visa officers reject his medical examination? Will he be posed as a threat to the canadian health department?
If so, will he be eligible in family class sponsorship, if not express entry.

Really depends on the costs of their treatment plus regular blood screening and appointments with a hematologist oncologist. Also depends on how severe the disease is. Assume the person is part of the rare younger patients. Also depends on prognosis in the next 5-10 years.

Average life expectancy is normal for these patients and fortunately it all goes smooth for them. But since it’s recently classified as cancer, hence the confusion.
