Canada is always welcoming millions of people around the world in various categories such as visitors, students, immigrants, and foreign workers. Every person has to go through the admissibility requirement set out in the Canadian immigration law before they enter Canada. Many times, people planning to come to Canada find their applications or entry refused by the Canadian Immigration Officer because of the inadmissibility set out under Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
There are five grounds of inadmissibility however most common types of inadmissibility objection rejected by the Immigration officers are Criminal Inadmissibility and Medical Inadmissibility. One other important reason for most of the applications are denied is due to Misrepresentation. Â It is considered to be a serious crime if you submit fraudulent documents or provide false information to Immigration Canada which in result your application may be denied and you may be banned to enter Canada for 5 years.

A medical examination is required for everyone including the dependents who participate in the immigration process. An individual can be considered medically inadmissible if they have a condition that can be a serious threat to the safety or health of the Canadian public. An immigration officer may also determine that there is a chance that a person can cause excessive demand on the public-funded Canadian health and social services.
A Procedural Fairness Letter is issued by Immigration Canada which explains the reason why you are medical inadmissible. You have 90 days to respond to this letter providing evidence of how your medical condition is cured. For instance, you have received treatment or your medical condition has been improved, your doctor has changed your medication.
