Trigeminal Neuralgia

[Flash88]

Hi all,
Can someone please tell me whether I have any chances of rejection if I am a Trigeminal neuralgia patient and take regular medication for that to keep my nerve pain at bay? I have had no surgery for it since the last 7 years since I was diagnosed. Only got injections for.
Please guide me if it will result in my immigration being rejected?

Kind regards,
SS

First of all I am sorry because trigeminal neuralgia is supposed to be the worst pain ever. It is hard to say whether you will be approved or not. It will depend on the cost and frequency of your treatments.

Thank you for replying and understanding.
Thing is I know my pain is stable now but the consumption of meds is regular. Should I be worried about that? The cost of the medication I take is not so much.
I just need to know whether they think it'll be a burden on the Canadian medical provision?
If anyone has any idea about it do lemme know.

Kind regards,
SS

Too hard to say. Things like botox add up quickly. Each case is so individual.

I have no further treatment plans. I just need regular medication. That's all.

If anyone you know has any idea at all, please do lemme know. A doctor perhaps who has an idea about it. That's why I started this thread that some one might have any clue or some one who knows any person who has any information to share on this that'll be a great help.

Btw I never got botox injections. They were just anesthetic.
I also read up that medical inadmissibility policy changed and is in effect since the 1st of June.
Do I stand a chance then?

It is so individual nobody would be able to tell you. You seem to require relatively little treatment for your TN so yes you have a good shot at being accepted. You may want to include a note from your doctor saying that you have been stable on I am guessing Lyrica or Gabapentin. Your diagnosis is what works against you because many patients aren't able to work and require much more treatment.

You'll be surprised to know that I am a teacher actually and yes I have had bad days but my work kept me sane.
Thank you for your help though. Hoping for the best now.

Your other issue I that you will having problems being a teacher in Canada without Canadian teacher's college. There is also a surplus of teachers in some provinces so it takes many years to get a job. I'd encourage you to look into the teaching requirements for Canada and your desired province.

I encouraged you to get a doctor's not because it will likely help your case if you show that you have been stable on relatively little treatment. That would help your case.

Wow. Hit after hit of straight answers. Lol. Thank you though. I am not planning on teaching without the proper training or degree there. I plan on studying first.
But this has been extremely helpful for me. Thank you so much.

Any other suggestion for me??

Many people are unaware of the teaching requirements in Canada and anticipate being able to teach right away so I like to mention that. It is actually quite competitive to get into teacher's college because teachers are paid well in Canada. As I mentioned there is also a surplus of teachers in some areas of the country. There seems to be a 1 year transition program for internationally trained teachers who want to work in BC. They are hiring in BC so maybe something you might want to check out.

Thank you so much for informing me about this. Now I can plan things better.

What if my husband is the primary applicant, will my medical condition still be an issue??
Thing is I am more concerned about my medical condition because I don't plan on working initially.

Yes your medical condition affects your family's PR application. If you get denied, the whole family gets denied. Pharmacare and dentistry is not covered in many provinces unless you have extended health benefits from an employer so you will have to look into and consider that. Also you have to wait 3 months for healthcare to start once you land as a PR in many provinces.

Hello all,
I was checking up for answers about trigeminal neuralgia and if this would be a problem resulting in a rejection of my aplication. Our cases are more or less the same, can you please let me know if your aplication was successful ?. or if this would be consider a issue under the Canadian law. The cost for medicine in my country is about 1500 US dollars a year.

Thanks
CL

You would have to see how much medication and any form of treatment costs in Canada. $1500US is pretty high in most countries and you also have to include costs of doctors appoints, any scans or tests in the costs. It would depend on what kind of treatment you are receiving.

Thanks for the information, the $ 1500 US dollars are the treatment for a whole year. Any idea how can I find out how much the treatment would cost in Canada?.
Thanks
