I’m sponsoring my sister to immigrate to Alberta Canada. She is married to a person with kidney failure. Would that affect my application for her to become permanent resident and eventually to become Canadian Citizen?

Hello everyone. I’m hoping someone can answer my question. Thank you very much.

How are you sponsoring your sister, under which program?

Here are the rules:

The issue is whether kidney failure would be considered as an 'excessive demand' risk. Not an expert, but it is quite likely it would.

This applies to all save spouses of the sponsor in family class/ spousal sponsorship, dependent children (of the family class applicant), refugees and protected persons.

So yes, it would likely affect her eligibility (as her spouse/dependent must be evaluated as well).

But not an expert, please do check carefully. Start with the CIC website.

I think under Lonely Canadian Program. Since I dont have any relative here in Canada and I’m single. Thanks for the quick reply.

Are your parents or grandparents alive?

Or under other relative program

If your parents or grandparents are alive, you can’t sponsor your sister. She has to immigrate on her own merit. Also her spouse’s condition may make him medically inadmissible to Canada. This would be decided by panel physicians who determine cost of treatment and surgeries required over a period of time.

Yes, this will most likely impact the approval of the PR application and her ability to become a permanent resident. She and her dependents must all take and pass the medical in order for the PR application to be approved. This includes her spouse. Dialysis treatment is extremely expensive in Canada and will exceed the $20,000 per year threshold. Based on the information you've provided, the chances of refusal due to excessive medical demands are very high.
