ORIGINAL: Lucylastic When you come to canada, under family,sponsorship, the sponsor has to guarantee that each family member is financially secure for a period of ten years, this is partially to stop immigrants from coming here and using welfare, benefits etc. Now healthcare is given to new immigrants after the initial period, of about 4 months. But any health issue questioned will lead to a hearing. The prof has been here 3 years. He knew there might be a problem. Every single one of us had to get a medical testing of various types before we were given the final ok. Immigration here is a multiple pain in the arse. I understand that york u faculty and staff are trying to find a way to work around it, but apparently his son has more than a few problems. How does Canada determine who is or who isn't "financially secure?" Other than healthcare, what social welfare benefits would this family be using? You have to sign a statement stating that you will cover expenses for your family for ten years, no welfare, no housing, He may claim housing/welfare but the family will not be counted as "legal" dependents. He pays his taxes, his family will get basic health insurance. but with a downs child, theres also schooling expenses if its outside of the local school long term care is a possibility, caring for a downs child is hard, many need carer help. WHich can put a strain on the "government" over the years. IE< a friend of mine has a brother who has downs (he is now 50) Their parents died when he was 15 and she took over caring for him, he has a lot of problems over the years with housing, jobs, training, hospitalisations, and is now in a permanent care home, because she cant look after him by herself. That is a problem. Also for the record certain mental illnesses are a medical reason to be denied immigration. BTW you cant be a permanent resident before being accepted by immigration. You can be a landed citizen for a few years before immigration is approved. What do you mean a "landed citizen?" Does that equate to being a "property owner?" How long does it take to immigrate into Canada? When you are adjudicated to be allowed into canada, as an immigrant, depending on the level of immigration class ie (worker/sponsored/businessowner) You sign paperwork assuring certain things(such as being financially sufficient for ten years, to follow all laws etc etc) you are given a permanent resident card, or landed papers. You can then work, play, pay taxes, live, own a house, have kids go to school, get healthcare, but not vote or I believe join the RCMP. At least until you become a full citizen. I believe there is a financial amount of a few hundred thousand to invest in canada, in the business class of immigration, but I came in on sponsorship via my husband. I cant tell you the rules now as they have changed. It usually takes 3-4 years now, but when I came over it was sposed to take seven, took a bit longer than that. So, an immigrant has to sign an affidavit or something that his spouse and kids won't be a drain on the local welfare system for 10 years, or else they won't be allowed to immigrate. What happens if that 10-year pledge is broken? Yes the sponsor signs as a kind of surety, As far as I know .... it can go to a court hearing on repayment of welfare benefits Canadian officials are playing the odds with this family. They have no proof that this kid will be a burden on the system any more than the next kid. It depends on the level of downs the child has. Believe me, going thru immigration is unpleasant, and a lot of families have health issues and it is not pleasant knowing that your new life may soon be obliterated for bureaucracy and I feel for this man and his family very deeply especially as he happens to be one of the senior profs where my daughter is getting her masters. My Gran was seriously ill in 95, I went home for a visit to see her before she passed, when I got back to canada, I was held in detention for I think it was 12 hours, (with my hubby and kids in the airport waiting for me not knowing what had happened.) before they could get my paperwork sorted out. that little indiscretion put two years on my immigration status. This is one example of how things can go awry when the taxpayer is the one footing the bill. The video brings up other things that cause more taxpayer money to be spent, too. Why is it okay to bar someone from bringing in his family because one son will likely cost taxpayers more. Do they consider that the average lifespan is only 60 years? Will the government outlaw smoking because it costs taxpayers more for health costs? What about obesity or alcohol? Maybe they'll just add a special health care tax to smokers and the obese. Please note that most countries have the same restrictions on families with a disability, as I showed. PS its IS a long time ago that I emigrated, and the rules change often, so my info not linked may be difference. Its based on my experience only.
