There was a topic about this situation 5 years ago, but original poster didn't update how it ended. 

We are sponsoring my father. Unfortunately he had a brain stroke several months ago, he fully recovered in no time, but he decided to diagnose himself properly in order to prevent further strokes. Just couple days ago he went through diagnostic procedures that left lots of bruises on his body, but diagnostics confirmed that strokes shouldn't happen anymore and couple days ago he got an invitation to medical. Bruises not going to disappear in a month, so he will have to explain all this. 

I was wondering if anybody knows how CIC classify brain strokes, is it a high risk for them or if the person is fully recovered it should be ok? 

Anybody know successful or unsuccessful immigration stories from stroke survivors or families of stroke survivors?

Pretty much any information would be vital right now. He is the last family member that still not in Canada and leaving him at home is not an option. If we will get a Fairness letter what should be next steps? Should we wait for Fairness letter or we should hire an attorney before medical? Anybody knows any lawyers who has experience with stroke survivors? 

Thank you!
