From Inadmissibility to Approval: Securing Permanent Residence Despite Health Challenges

Our client was sponsored by her family for permanent residence. She was triaged for inadmissibility because she has Chronic Kidney Disease, stage 4 and was assigned an M5 profile:
Inadmissible due to excessive demand on health and social services.

Over a period of many months we worked with the family and specialist overseas to determine that the applicant will reasonably likely remain at stage 4 for the five-year period under question in consideration of all her circumstances (medical and non-medical).

Based on this we developed a reasonable Plan identifying that there is likely no need for renal replacement therapy in the next five-years. We also identified what health and social services will definitively be used in British Columbia based on her particular needs, placing her under the threshold all applicants are measured against. In addition, the response included detailed H&C considerations not just concerning the applicant but also the applicant’s family members.

We were pleased to recently learn that the previous finding of M5 was overcome and the application approved.
