VOICED: 'Excessive burden': girl expelled for having cerebral palsy

A French family in Canada faces deportation due to their daughter's healthcare costs, deemed an excessive burden. Despite being skilled workers, their application to stay was rejected under Canada's selective immigration policy, which prioritizes economic contributions over healthcare costs. The policy does not consider health costs for certain immigrant categories, highlighting the complexity and challenges of immigration as a privilege, not a right. Canada aims to balance welcoming immigrants with managing costs, reflecting the dual nature of its immigration policy.
