Gabriel Damasceno Bastos and Citizenship Immigration Canada

Jaime Bastos: Citizenship and Immigration Canada provided the following explanation for the denial in a statement to the Bastos family: "I have determined that your family member, Gabriel Damasceno Bastos, is a person whose health condition might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services" Bastos arrived in Canada in 2011 alongside his wife Iara and their daughter Valentina, to complete his post PhD at the University of Calgary, according to CTV. The Bastos welcomed another child during their time in Calgary but the family of five was fractured as Gabriel remained in their native Brazil. Jaime Bastos, a critical care physician, says his son Gabriel application was denied as the disability was considered a potential burden on Canada health care system. The situation has been very difficult for me, Iara Bastos told CTV through an interpreter. The Bastos say Gabriel condition does not require extensive medical assistance and the family is financially capable of caring for their son without help from the government. I have been suffering a lot with the distance from my son. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
