lots of people give opinions about things they really do not know much about and it really is no help to anyone looking for accurate information.
I do not really know the answer either.
But, As I said, 3 years has been quoted on here many times.......your circumstances were obviously different which is why the OP should consult an agent.
Online forums can only help so far.
best wishes

Really, do you have to wait until you're 3 years free of it until they give you the all clear?!?
Try posting the question in the Immigration forum and hopefully an agent might be able to answer it for you. It's worth a try anyway.

Not wanting to throw a spanner in the works here for the OP, but my mum had breast cancer and the all clear was due to be given after FIVE years.
Unfortunately for my poor mum she didn't get to the 5 years before it came back. She contracted secondary breast cancer at 4 years 8 months.

The reality however, is that you are never cured of breast cancer until you die of something else! In that case I wonder if they'll ever let me in!!!!
I have posted the same enquiry on the Immigration forum as advised incase any professional agents can help me.
Thanks for taking the time to help anyway.

I honestly don't know the answers for you. All I know about breast cancer is that it's a bloody horrible disease, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I'm really sorry that you had to get it and I hope that you recover fully from it.
Good luck in your quest for emigration.

Thought you might like to see what I received back from the health Lawyer ( Peter Bollard )in Sydney who deals with cases like my own.
Dear Pearl,
There is no formal 5 year waiting period but the longer you go without further problems the better. If you ran into problems with health criteria on a permanent visa application you could consider apply for a Subclass 457 visa sponsored by an Australian employer .It is easier to pass the criteria in such cases if the employer gives an undertaking as to meeting any health costs that might be incurred. At a later date you could apply for pr again after a greater period without problems. However the risk is that the law might change while you are waiting to apply again.

we started process last september and now just waiting on medical clearance - should be may
i kept being told nurses are on short list
but still turned out not v. fast process for perm, residency
just a point of good info i was told...do not send police checks in too soon as DIMIA gives you year to get in once visa issued BUT take the date from police check or medical date - which ever earliest
hope this helps and good luck with all

Fantastic good news Pearly for all it affects - no 5 year wait for anyone. I thought it odd because I was told 2 years would be enough.
Go for it and good luck.
