Hello good time...I have thalassemia major from Iran ... I applied to immigrate to Canada, but due to my illness and blood transfusion, as well as the provision of anti-iron drugs, as well as the support of the Canadian government and the costs of I need treatment, counseling, guidance and help, someone can help me. As for my condition, I am currently in good mental and physical health and I only need a blood transfusion once every 21 days, as well as side medications and visits to the hematologist ... Thank you in advance for your response.

Your message is a bit confusing. Are you planning on applying? Or have you already applied and have received a PFL letter from IRCC indicating that they plan to deny your application due to excessive demand?

Because you require frequent blood transfusions, medications and visits with specialists, there is a high chance you will be classified as someone who will place an excessive demand on Canada's health care system.

I have not yet taken any action to be rejected or accepted by the Canadian government ... so I am currently in the process of searching and researching how to do treatment in your country

If you can become a permanent resident of Canada, then the treatment will be free.

The problem is that you will most likely have a great deal of difficulty becoming a permanent resident. There is a very high chance of refusal due to your condition and the burden it will place on the Canadian health care system.

sThank you for your response ... Do you have a solution to get my case accepted? Have you had a case like mine where his case is accepted and he is currently a resident or a Canadian citizen !? Are you aware of the current costs of thalassemia treatment in your country? !!

I'm sorry. I'm not aware of anyone who has been successful in your specific situation.

Since you require frequent blood transfusions, the costs of your treatment to Canada's health care system will be over $20,000 per year which will mean that you fall under excessive demand. If you fall under excessive demand, chances are very extremely IRCC will refused your application.

If you still want to apply to immigrate to Canada, I would recommend that you work with a lawyer and be prepared that you may be refused at the end.

Hi, I have Beta Thalassemia Trait and I live my life normally just like any other person. I do not require any medications. Trait means being a carrier and not having the disease. Would this be an issue?

Carrying the trait isn’t an issue for getting PR in Canada. Obviously something you need to consider when having children and you should consider steps to prevent having children affected by the disease.

yes I am aware of that and that there is genetic counselling as well to prevent children from having the disease. But apart from that, thalassemia trait won’t affect my PR application right?

Genetic counselling won’t prevent passing on a trait. They’ll counsel you about testing both partners for genetic conditions especially if you come from a community with a lot of intermarriage and now you can also do genetic testing with IVF to make sure any genetic condition where the markers have been identified are not passed onto an embryo. Every person is likely a carrier for certain genetic conditions so no carrying a trait for a medical condition is currently not an issue. Pretty dystopian to think that it could be in the future but being a carrier for things like Huntington’s disease leads to a 50% chance of having a child with HD if you don’t do IVF. Very expensive condition because you are likely looking at 10 years of high level care much before retirement age and it affects people in their prime or in rare cases in children.
