Rue Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 I think i know why they did it!!... But i am VERY unhappy wit it !!!. See! Tell me what you think? Thanks!!. Immigration policies of all countries not just Canada's are designed to try discourage and prevent people coming to the country who will be dependent on the state. The reality is people who are sick and who will die in other countries will find a way to get to Canada if they think they can get free care that will keep them alive. I know of a recent case where a man with kidney disease requiring dialysis who lived in a country that had no such treatment married a Canadian woman. He had zero assets. He was able to live 23 years in Canada before he died. In his case his wife carried him but the point is he enjoyed the benefits of our medicare system. Some would say the marriage was a sham just to get him in the country. Some would argue the state has only so many seats available for dialysis and has an obligation to make sure a Canadian citizen gets that seat before someone from outside the country. The bottom line is Canada can not take in all the sick of the world without compromising the health needs and capacity load to provide those health needs for Canadian citizens and immigration policy tries to prevent compromise of our health system's capacity to serve Canadians. Yes it would be nice to be compassionate and have unlimited capacity to provide the entire world with medical care-the reality is however, each state has a limited capacity to serve its own people who it must look after first.

Guest American Woman Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 I agree with everything you said, Rue. But this is what I don't understand: Barlagne and his family came to Canada after being encouraged by Canadian Embassy officials in Paris. From what I've read, they were basically assured that if they made the move, they'd be able to stay. I don't understand why they would be led to believe they would be allowed to stay, and then after they made the move and established a business, find out that they can't. Quote
