York University: Son Nicolas and Health System

york university: Whether Felipe Montoya, his wife and two children were allowed to stay in Canada affected mostly just themselves, according to Toronto Star. On another level, though, their story says something important about what kind of society we are. Fri., Aug. 12, 2016 In the greater scheme of things, the fate of one family may not matter a great deal. And the fact that they will now be allowed to settle in Canada is a small victory for compassion and common sense. Earlier this year they were told by Citizenship and Immigration Canada that their application had been denied because his 13-year-old son Nicolas has Down syndrome and could be expected to cause excessive demand on the health system. Montoya had been teaching environmental studies at York University when he and his family applied to remain in this country as permanent residents. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
