A Case of Mild Autism

We are pleased to have recently assisted our clients with a difficult case whose son was denied permanent resident status to Canada for medical inadmissibility reasons. It was determined by Citizenship and Immigration Canada initially that he required special education services and therefore would be an excessive demand on the Canadian healthcare system.

When we examined the case and reasons for concern, we were able to clearly establish that the diagnosis and extent of his social service requirements was misinterpreted. We were able to prove that the client was not in fact an excessive demand using expert medical opinion and financial calculations to the medical burden our client would be on the educational and healthcare system. We handle so many medical cases each month and we share in the emotional struggle with our clients and when all our hard work and diligence results in a huge obstacle being overcome and the dream to make Canada home realized – all we can say is way to go team!
