I’m sorry to hear about your mother’s diagnosis. What type of cancer? I can‘t imagine she’ll qualify for supervisa insurance if she’s been diagnosed with cancer. If you can’t get supervisa insurance then you won’t be considered for a supervisa. Even if she is approved any cancer treatment would not be covered as a pre-existing condition. For most cancers treatment as soon as possible is usually advisable so would start the process of treatment in your home country.
She should not expect to get approved. She also doesn’t qualify for “free” treatment and even if you have the funds to pay for her treatment in cash in Canada many hospitals will not accept her as a patient because they can’t even currently deal with those who have provincial healthcare. If you don’t have the savings in cash to prepay for treatment, which would be likely hundreds of thousands of doLars, she should not come to Canada even if she gets a visa. If you do have the funds in cash to prepay for her treatment you should be contacting hospitals and doctors in advance to guarantee that she will be accepted as a patient before coming to Canada. Thos will likely involve meeting with the hospital and putting down deposits, proving that you have the funds to pay for expensive longterm treatment, etc. She isn’t seeking emergency care she is looking for longterm care so can be denied care in Canada. She should also be seeking care as soon as possible so waiting until you hear about her TRV is not a good idea. She should be consulting an oncologist in Pakistan. I’m sorry of this sounds harsh but you seem to be under the false impression that she can easily get longterm treatment in Canada.
How much are you being quoted per person? Supervisa insurance can easily be around 2k/person/year. Parents on supervisa often end up using the insurance which is why rates are higher than travel medical insurance for general travellers who are younger. How old are your parents? Do they have any health issues? What do you mean by local insurance agencies? In Canada? Supervisa insurance should not depend on the date of travel.Being able to visit for a year comes with costs. Your parents could consider visiting for half the year and you should get a partial refund for the year of insurance you that prepaid when applying. That would make it more affordable.
@Didzsam i am on the same boat, my father has multiple myeloma(2009) and he is stable since his bone marrow transplant in 2014 and taking oral medicine since then. Can you share your Oncology report and I can work with our oncologist to prepare something similar.
