Individuals may be denied admittance to Canada due to the high costs of their care. The factors considered during the medical assessment include whether or not hospitalization or medical, social or institutional care is required and whether potential employability or productivity could be affected. For example, a person with a serious disease or psychiatric disorder requiring ongoing care or hospitalization may be inadmissible because their requirements would place “excessive demand” on the Canadian health-care system.
Your immigrant visa will state how long it will be valid for. Usually, it is valid for one year from the date of the medical examination or date of acceptance or the date of expiry of passports.

For example, for a family of four to sponsor either of the spouse’s parents, the family would need to prove that it earned approximately $44,000 CDN in the 12 month’s prior to the sponsorship application.
The Canadian government has a program to “fast track” the approval for work permits for software professionals with eight certain types of experience.
