Hi

My wife & I have PR and been here just over 2 years. My wife's mother is looking to come over on a contributory parent visa but had cancer about 18 months ago. She is in remission and fingers crossed all is going well

Does anyone know whether the cancer will prohibit her getting a visa or whether it is possible.

All advice would be greatfully received

Thanks

I really dont know, and I hope you get the answer you want.

well done to your mother in law xx

It may well do.

Cancer usually needs to be in remission for 3 years in order to pass the medical.

You should get advice from an agent experienced in such matters.

We applied for our Canadian PR just months after my husbands cancer all clear. During the long wait for our PR, we were living in Canada on a work permit and I was diagnosed with cancer!

I had my treatment in Canada, we are both clear of cancer now and we received our PR last year so good luck to you, cancer is a word, not a sentence. x

Thanks everyone. I have heard the 3 years before but will definitely tell her to check with an agent.

Hopefully things will work out for the best

Hi Steve,

I'd just mention that there are different remission standards for different cancers. Three years and five years are two general standards but there are some which can have a shorter or longer period attached to them. Make sure that your mother-in-law presents a specialist's report on the condition to the agent in question; she should also ask her specialist about usual remission periods for her condition.

Cheers,

Thanks George

I will ensure she does this
