Are you medically inadmissible to Canada? #canadaimmigration

We answer your Canadian immigration questions. Today we are answering the question of "Am I medically inadmissible to Canada?"
If you want to apply for a Canadian visit visa, study permit, work permit, or permanent residence, you need to ensure that you and any dependents are not inadmissible to Canada. This includes medical inadmissibility.
You could be medical inadmissibility for one of three different reasons such as being a danger to public health, a danger to public safety, or would cause excessive demand on health or social services.
As part of your application for your Canadian visa or permit, you may be required to undergo a medical examination which will be used to assess whether you are medically inadmissible or not.
Medical inadmissibility rules for excessive demand reasons don’t apply to refugees and their dependants, protected persons, or certain people being sponsored by their family, such as dependant children, spouses and common-law partners.
You can read more about these requirements and amounts at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's official website: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility/reasons/medical-inadmissibility.html

Hi, thank you for the details you put in this vid. I was wondering if I could ask few questions. In my case, I was given a Procedural Awareness Letter regarding potential excessive demand for medical services diagnosed with CKD Stage 5. So given that they provided a breakdown of the possible expenses in Canada for the treatment, is it possible to write a Declaration of Ability and Willingness Letter stating that we will setup a medical plan how to address this medical condition within 5 years time where if given the opportunity to live and work in Canada we will not be 100% dependent to their medical services for this treatment as this medical work will be way cheaper and not limited only to Canada(like Philippines as an example). Not to mention that we have a career to support our livelihood and health insurance in accordance to medical plan conducted outside Canada medical services? Thank you in advance.

The algorithm of the syphilis test for Canada immigration start with non treponimal test VDRL or RPR.. it means if you are no longer have syphilis it will come out "non reactive" beacuse you take medication. which means you will not need to proceed confirmatory test or treponimal test..but be sure to have certificate from your doctor that you have been treated..

TPHA is a confirmatory test. If are treated then your VDRL will come out negative and no need for TPHA test. . But HIV test will come out false positive, anti bodies will be seen because you had Ben infected with syphilis.
