Hi, I am new to this news list, so please forgive me if the question is not typical to this forum. My wife and I have applied for permanent residence in Canada and are hoping to relocate to Toronto from South Africa later this year. However my wife, aged 35, has early onset Parkinson's causing a tremor on her right side, mainly her arm. She was diagnosed in 1993, and continues to work as a contract programmer and live a normal life. Do any of the participants on this list have information for me about the degree of influence my wife's Parkinson's is likely to have on our application? as we have not been successful in getting an up-front answer from our local Canadian High Commission in this regard. I am presently being interviewed by the Toronto office of the international company I work for in SA, and also wonder what effect this may have on the issue if I am successful. Thanks Keith Arnold
