A Successful Mitigation Plan for Kidney Treatment in Canada

We represented an applicant where IRCC was concerned that the individual would create an excessive demand in Canada for an anticipated kidney replacement treatment – a transplant or dialysis in Canada. We worked with the applicant’s family and the medical professionals to present his individualized circumstances and the family’s Mitigation Plan, demonstrating that no excessive demand would happen in Canada, costing out the care that was in fact required. Considering the individualized circumstances, we highlighted that the applicant did not require dialysis or a transplant presently and when he did require renal replacement treatment, we set out his plan for a live donor kidney transplant overseas, identifying the live donor and all other arrangements made overseas together with evidence in line with Hilewitz. This coupled with H&C considerations proved successful.
