How do I get my brother immigrated to Canada as he's disabled?
He’ll have to apply for a visa first, then Permanent Residence, three years later, citizenship.Much easier if he has family already living there and he can apply for the family reunification program.Alternatively, if he’s currently living in a country where his life is at risk due to the treatment of his condition by the political or social climate in his home country. He could apply for refugee status.If he’s able he could apply for school in Canada and then get a visa or student permit. Which would make applying for PR much easier.Good luck. and check these videos out if you need help studying for the citizenship test. :)Part One - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...Part Two - Study Guide for the Canadian Citizenship Test - The HISTORY SECTION - Part Two
Can you pass Canada medical check up with scoliosis?
This has to a decision made on a "case by case basis " by a Medical Doctor, who is under contract to to the Canadian Government, who does the actual medical examination of you. His recommendation will be sent to a medical committe, made up of other Doctors, who will review the case, and render a decision to Immigration Canada, about the future costs to our health care system for your care in Canada. It will be a lengthy process. Jim B Toronto.

If he has arranged treatment and is PAYING for it a visa can be arranged for Medical treatment. Just because YOU are a citizen does not mean your entire village gets Medical coverage in Canada. Medical treatment for Canadians in Canada is paid for by Canadians. Medical treatment for FOREIGNERS is paid for by FOREIGNERS You option is to start saving money as travel insurance will not cover a pre existing condition. Start whatever treatment in HIS country and save your money for more in Canada. About three-quarters of cancer drugs taken at home cost more than $20,000 a year.

Allowed to Leave Canada?
It is basically the legal form that denies you entry into Canada. Could be you were criminally inadmissable or did not satisfy the officer that you intended to leave Canada (ie, trying to move or work in Canada illegally). Once you have made your intent to enter Canada at the port of entry and the officer isn't going to allow you entry then you will "voluntarily be allowed to withdrawl your application" or if not you will have to be "deported". Generally, peopel do not want to go through the deportation process of being held in a cell and go through a hearing when they can just turn around and go home.
U.S. citizens with criminal record entering Canada?
Oh boy, this will end in tears. Your convict should be able to get into Canada with proper picture ID other than a passport for the moment as he says. Whether his name will come up in the database as being a criminal is not certain - depends on the offense and how long ago, but if he is caught trying to enter with a record he will most definitely be returned to the US and barred for a long time. He can apply for a pardon himself, it costs only his time, or you can pay someone to do so. Either way it takes time and usually requires an investigation, this is not a simple or quick thing. I suggest you tell him to apply for it himself or meet him in the US. DO NOT GIVE HIM $1000.
Would rheumatoid arthritis be a problem in the Canada immigration medical test?
Medical inadmissibility is determined on the following criteria: The first is will the anticipated annual cost of care to the public health system for an intending immigrant exceed the average annual cost of care for a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident already living in Canada? If the answer is yes, then the prospective immigrant is deemed medically inadmissible to Canada due to an anticipated excessive burden to the Canadian public health system. If the answer is no, then they are medically admissible.The second is public health concerns like active tuberculosis and other highly contagious diseases. Most of these can be overcome by being successfully treated and cured, but this would have to happen before a visa is approved.RA is an autoimmune disorder. Some of the medications used to treat RA like Remicade and Rituxan are biologic monoclonal antibodies (MABs) which are very expensive.IRCC will request a full report from the panel physician the RA sufferer sees for their immigration medical on the current state of the disease, the treatments currently being used and prognosis to make a decision. It is hard to say exactly what the outcome would be as every case is different, but do not be surprised to see a person deemed medically inadmissible because they have RA.Besides cost of care, another concern is that RA in the long term can be disabling, possibly making the person unable to work, who then may become dependent on social services (welfare) to meed daily needs.Disclaimer: I am not an attorney and this answer should not be construed as medical advice.
