Daughter: Canada and Health

daughter: Last March, Immigration Canada told her she didn't qualify for permanent residency status because her daughter has an intellectual disability and would be an excessive burden to the country health system, according to Metro News. I felt like I was dying. Now her hope of bringing them over to Canada is hanging in the air. I was so desperate I was crying, she said, remembering the time and effort she spent trying to make the family reunification possible. She was told her daughter health would cost government about $55,000 over five years. For me Canada is my promised land, she said, noting she didn't even know her 13-year-old daughter Precious Ann Margarett Danieles had that health condition. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
