First, I believe this forum has rules that you can provide a quote from a link but then must also provide an opinion. William, you do neither. I have reported your OP.

Second, while immigration is a shared federal/provincial matter, this family is being refused by the federal government. Provincial bureaucrats can select potential immigrants but federal bureaucrats determine their admissibility.

This link may be of interest.

The OP link also doesn't tell us enough. Quebec has had control of its immigration for some time, but not total. My understanding is that it does it's own selection and normally Ottawa just rubberstamps the applicants.

Perhaps we are seeing a conflict, where a Quebec official makes a promise but an Ottawa department sees a medical conflict. This is even muddier when you consider that although the feds kick in medicare money medical coverage is a provincial matter anyway.

Hopefully the media will explain more as this story plays out.

That is correct.

Everybody is expected to make an effort to stimulate discussion by providing original commentary as per the rules:

RESEARCH YOUR POST

If you are stating a fact, be prepared to back it up with some official sources (websites, links etc). It is also important to structure your post in a way that everyone can understand. That means writing complete sentences and paragraphs with the appropriate grammar. If for some reason, you enjoy writing long confusing sentences and paragraphs riddled with poor grammar and spelling mistakes, your post, and therefore your opinions, will likely be discarded. Therefore, it is in your best interest to make sure that your post includes sufficient sources and contains a well-researched and well-organized argument.

POSTING CONTENT

All posts must contain some aspect of an argument or attempt to stimulate discussion. Simply posting a URL to an outside source or posting statements that are only one or two sentences long will not be tolerated and the post will be deleted. In addition, use the search feature to ensure that the topic you are posting is not already being discussed somewhere else in the forums.

I kept my opinion private because it wasn't political it was humanitarian. I actually volunteered to adopt the daughter.

Don't you find the consulates lies to be issued if they deceived the person to invest in the country, that is akin to fraud don't you think?

Yeah I broke the rules it is clear.

Sorry I think the ones I broke are stupid and limit free speach and expression.

So be it bannish me. I hate politics anyway, I am only here to enlighten the stupidity that normally stays within this stagnant Conknob sucking forum. May you all enjoy your stay in Conhell the dream crafted by Harper to take everything that is good about Canada and turn it into a military theocracy where the poor and disenfranchised are murdered in the private lands for simply not having a voice because of corruption and malice.

I bid you adeiu and may God have mercy on, your misguided childrens souls.

WB, the federal government does not "rubber stamp" medical requirements. While it's true the Quebec bureaucrats select immigrants, federal bureaucrats still perform background checks and so on.

Many provinces have a similar system to Quebec in place. Manitoba, for example, has had recent success with our provincial nominee program.

So at what point in time do they do this? When they entered the country or when some years later they formally applied for permanent residency?
