Relying on the purportedly neutral criteria of the cost of health services, this law renders any applicant who would require more than $6450 per year\u2019s worth of health or social services inadmissible to Canada. Due to the high cost of antiretroviral medications, the health care costs of many people living with HIV are higher than the current threshold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\">This joint submission to\u00a0Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada outlines why we recommend\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-CA\">that the excessive demand provision be repealed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"download-link-button\"><a class=\"download-link en\" title=\"Submission to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on Medical Inadmissibility\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/download\/15151\/?tmstv=1776773212\" rel=\"nofollow\">\r\n\tDownload<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"publication_topics":[150],"publication_type":[170],"publication_language":[184],"class_list":["post-15154","publication22","type-publication22","status-publish","hentry","publication_topics-immigration-and-travel","publication_type-advocacy","publication_language-english"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/15154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication22"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/15154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21625,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/15154\/revisions\/21625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_topics?post=15154"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=15154"},{"taxonomy":"publication_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_language?post=15154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
