Canada kicking out autistic boy...
- Thread starter Pan
- Start date
If you're that concerned give Immigration a call and offer to pay the kid's medical bills out of your own pocket.
We're under no obligation to accept everyone who wants to become a citizen. There are a lot of people with a lot of medical problems, are we supposed to feel worse about this because it's a child?

interesting, I had no idea autism was such a red-flag when it came to immigration.... it really appears as if our policies on immigration are... inconsistent.
Perhaps a solution would be that if those afflicted with certain flagged diseases agreed to fund their own medical expenses (whether through private insurance created specifically for these instances or through out-of-pocket means) thus not putting a strain on an already strained healthcare system...
I understand both sides, at some point we really do need to put our foot down and stop taking all the world's misfits, sick, elderly and just generally useless. We have MORE than enough of that.

You would be surprised. Its easier to sponsor a spouse than a family member. US is the same. If married you could move to the states in 6months to 1 year. Meanwhile it can take 2 or more years to sponsor a parent. Kids its even harder. Stupid system.
My mom teaches autistic kids. Not only does it cost the goverment money for additional education but medication aswell. Its insanely expensive.
As for the artical. The father doesnt know much about autism. Autism is a communication disorder not motorskills. They have issues talking to people or writing or displaying emotions. Thats why the rare ones turn to music or mathmatics etc and excel. Its the only form of communication they can master and since theres so much focus, they do really well. But thats rare.
Sounds cruel on the surface but these sorts of rules are put in place to protect permanent residents of Canada from fraud. The family in question may be 100% but not everyone is. I had to spend an awful lot of my own money proving the health and well being of my own family to Immigration Canada before they'd even interview me for a visa. I went into the process knowing the rules.
Curious - what medications are used to treat Autism?
It isn't about quality of care. Its about the cost, or potential cost, of care.
