A Brit family is made to face deportation without any ground to justify this act.

Mr. Chapman and his family were expecting a warm welcome in Canada, but unfortunately, it was not to be. What the family faced on their arrival to Canada was nothing short of an uncertain tragedy. According to Mr. Chapman, the family has been asked to move out of Canada because of the mental disability of his daughter, Lucy.

Mr. Chapman and his family, who are British natives, had planned to permanently settle in Nova Scotia and start a small business over there. They also planned to move into a new home in Fall River. But his seven-year old daughter’s disability seems to have spoiled their plans. Actually, Lucy is suffering from a rare chromosome disorder and is unable to speak. Although, she is seven-years old, still she has a mental capacity of a three year old. At the same time in spite of these disabilities, she does not require any additional medication or physical assistance.

This was not the first time that the family has been treated in a biased manner. Earlier, the family had applied for entering Canada but they were denied entry because the Canadian system felt that Lucy’s inability would put the Canadian health care system under a lot of pressure.

But, after the changes that were introduced in the year 2005, in the disabilities section of the Immigration Act, things started to appear brighter for the family. The Supreme Court ordered the government officials that every case involving a disabled family member should be examined individually. Following the new developments, the Chapmans appealed again to move to Nova Scotia permanently under the immigration nominee program.

Almost after two long years, the reply for their application came and finally they were allowed to come to Canada. All that was remaining was the federal approval for the family in order to get their permanent resident visas. Mr. Chapman and his family wanted to begin their new life as soon as possible and in order to do so they sold their London home and decided to be in Canada on a holiday. In the mean time they were waiting for federal approval.

Unfortunately, their dreams had to wait even more, perhaps longer than they can wait as even after entering Canada, they were asked to leave the country by Wednesday. Mr. Chapman terms this as ‘pure discrimination’ and said that they were very disappointed with Canada, actually, the border services in particular.
