I imagine people taking part in the startup visa programme will be subject to the usual health checks. When applying for Canadian PR you have to satisfy the government that you won't place "excessive demand" on existing health/social services within Canada. The figure is currently set at $30,705.00CAD over 5 years ($6,141.00CAD x 5). eg, if you have an autistic child and they require a teachers aide that costs more than $6.1k/year you won't be eligible for PR. http://www.blaney.com/articles/citizenship-and-immigration-canada-announces-excessive-demand-cost-threshold-2012 http://www.blaney.com/articles/citizenship-and-immigration-c...
