Disabled child immigration decision reserved

“Barlagne and his wife Sophie moved to Montreal from the French island of Guadeloupe five years ago with their handicapped daughter and another child. Barlagne said officials at the Canadian Embassy in Paris granted him a temporary work permit after convincing him Canada was a great location for his software development business.”
“But when the Barlagnes applied to stay permanently in Canada, their bid was rejected on the grounds that Rachel’s care would create an excessive burden on health and social services.
Rachel’s care would cost the system $5,259 per year, said the Barlagnes’ lawyer, Stéphane Minson.”
