Hi,
I am PR, landed immigrant here in Canada for the last one year and
working as well. I am making enough salary to sponsor my parent as per
the Immigration Canada website. I would like to sponsor my mother and
have following questions,
1. How much time is required after the application to complete the
process?
2. My mother needs dialysis (medical procedure required on regular
basis after kidney failure to filter the blood), will that become a
problem for immigration? I know that I have to be responsible for
taking care of my mother for 3 to 10 years and I am going to buy an
insurance which will cover this medical procedure, what are the
chances that the immigration will be refused?
Thankyou

If you read the CIC site, you will see that you will be caring for your
mother for 10 years. Though I am sorry for your mothers condition, I have to
ask. When the time comes that you are no longer responsible for her care -
will she be in a position to care for herself, or will she have to be taken
care of by tax payer dollars?

Just curious.

Probably about ten years with the number of visas vs the number of
applications.

Will companies really insure someone against a known condition? Surely
the insurance cost will end up being more than the cost of the
treatment?

Not sure, but I'd imagine fairly high.
