Hi friends;
I am a Canadian citizen and sponsored my parents for the permanent residents 3-4 years before. They got their medical last year in May. My Mom was having some heart problems. The doctor (Designated Medical Practitioners) suggested her that she needs a heart surgery and sent his report to immigration. Meanwhile my Mother got her heart surgery done. It was successful and feeling normal now. Now Canadian immigration has sent a letter which can be summarized as that your case is likely to be rejected under the clause of excessive demand on health, but if you have something to prove before we reject it, please send us withing 60 days. My Parents sent them a complete medial report 4-5 weeks before which was prepared and signed by the doctors and surgeons who did my mom´s heart surgery.
My question is that what are the chances of getting this case approved. What will be the next procedure if the case get rejected. Please advise on this.
Thanks and best regards.

If your mom underwent open heart surgery becuase of severe occlusion of the coronary arteries, it is usually curative. However, if she underwent cardiac catheterization, it is not curative (just temporary) and might need open heart surgery in the future.
Open heart surgery in north america is very extensive (10k-20k in average). If she underwent this type of operation outside canada and it was SUCCESSFUL, acceptance is possible. Proof of successful results should be provided.
If she underwent cardiac catheterization, rejection is possible as it is a temporary operation to widen the lumen of the coronary arteries (not to replace them with grafted arteries as in the first one) and it has high risk of recurrence and eventually needs open heart surgery.
Long-term (life long) medications (cardiac medications and lipid lowering medicines) are required for both conditions.
In either case, your mom is classified with severe heart problems...and it will require special care and high medical needs...but she might be accepted if the treatment is successful (to certain extent)..but i am not sure.
I don´t know how the immigration physicians think but I am trying to think with their "way of thinking"...

Thanks for replying with the detail.
The medical doctor had found was “Congeital Anomaly of Heart” with double chambered right ventricle with RVOT obstruction. Yes, she underwent open heart surgery outside canada (India) and it was successful. It’s been almost 6-7 weeks and she has recovered very well now.
Doctor has done the surgery to do cardiac repair with reconsruction of RVOT and pulmonary valvotomy augmentation of RVOT with pericardial patch.

So i think all what you need now is to issue a report stating the success of the operation and the fact that she has a good chance to live well without medical or surgical intervention in the future.............you need to convinve them that she will not be a burden on the health system in canada
Best wishes.

Medical question (in reply to: Immigration Medical question)
Hi
Never forumed before so if not gone to correct place I would welcome guidance. I wanted to find out whether a congenital blood disorder known a "Factor V Leiden" which is managed by daily warfarin to maintain INR of between 2.5 and 3.5, would disqualify investor visa. Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks

Hello,
We are Canadian citizens and sponsored our parents. They got medical forms.
My father in low has “Insignificant corony disease edited”. What’s his chance to be approved for Permanent Resident of Canada? He’s 66 y.o, active and works as a metal worker. Thank you for your help and answer!
