The Government of Canada announced they will be loosening medical inadmissibility restrictions for immigration applicants living with certain disabilities and medical conditions. The new, more relaxed requirements will make it easier for individuals living with medical conditions requiring drug treatment, like HIV, and will create leeway for the parents of children living with certain mental health conditions, like autism. While the new restrictions will not eliminate the medical inadmissibility provision altogether, the government has announced that the complete elimination of the policy is a future goal.
