maternal:


I guess I can answer everyone's reply here.

Well now you've added more meat to the story, it's starting to make more sense. It seems like the whole process took anywhere from 6-8 months ? Would that be fair to say ? The first lesson you have learned is that Canada is not a banana republic and the government is very efficient. More so than Nigeria's any way. Your wife followed the rules and eventually got residency for the family. I guess you thought this wouldn't happen ? Or the Canadian govt won't do as they say, or they're not efficient ? Lesson learned I assume ? I still don't understand how a business man didn't start planning, especially as the processing was coming along smoothly, until you got the visa. But nobody is perfect. Now I also got a daughter with a disability from birth. See we have something in common. While you may get more help letting people know the exact issue, you have a right to your privacy. But with a child with a disability, and coming to Canada for that sole reason, you should start researching what city or province can provide your child with the best medical care. Because Canada has universal healthcare doesn't mean all services are equal. Wait times also differ as well. So for example Ontario you need to wait 3 months after landing to access healthcare. If your daughter needs healthcare right away, perhaps Ontario is not for you ? Or Ontario offers free prescription drugs for individuals 24 years and younger. If your daughters disability requires her to need a lot of expensive prescription drugs, maybe Ontario is the right province for you ?

You and your wife need to sit down and research which province best fits your daughters situation. Once that is done and you settle on a province/ city, then I would start doing research on the economics of that region. What jobs are booming there ? Is it possible to continue my business while in that province ? etc. Remember even school services are not the same. Some schools may have more experience dealing with a child with X disability than others. And each provinces wait times differ. In fact even wait times for cities within a province differ. For example if you live in Toronto and need to see a specialists, it'll definitely take longer to see one than if you lived in a smaller city like Ottawa for example. Unlike a lot of the big mouths here, I'm talking from experience. I am walking in your shoes. I've actually learned from you because the Canadian gov't use to reject applicants who had a disabled child. There was a national out-cry and the PM along with his immigration minister said they would change that. So for your application to go through with quickness and ease, it seems like the gov't kept their word. See what happens when we share info ? So what have we learned interacting with "big bad maternal" ?

1. The Canadian gov't welcomes families even with a disabled child.

2. Application can go quickly and smoothly if you let the wife do it. I mean if you're organized and have your stuff together.

3. If your sole reason is to come with a disabled child and you get your papers, start researching with province/city would best help your child before anything else.

Believe me, there's someone in naija in your former situation (wanting to come here because someone has a disability) who is reading this and learning a lot. They may even privately DM you. I have brought more substance to this convo than these internet saints giving their "best wishes" a long with "hugs" and foolish hashtags. Primary school nonsense. This man is nervous, scared, and needs legit help to reduce his anxiety, not hugs and hashtags ewu's. Contribute real substance to this conversation or simply skip over it and be quiet. Why are my posts always an issue on this thread ? Why can't I speak my mind ?

Am a silent reader of this forum but this guy need to be caution, disable person are not sick people because from your reply to this man you trying to raise the issue of medical care and the man talking about Environmental facilities for his daughter to make life comfortable which is absent in his home country, quoting from his last message below.

*Sometime last year , my wife came up with the idea of going to Canada ,the first thing that come to mind is how disable people are well accepted in Canada society ,they can school , go on bus and many public places have facilities for disable people, hearing that alone bring relieve and joy to my heart*

I have a disable uncle and never claim any benefit and have no complicated medical issue over the years ,he live is life just like me and you with his family ,and he is a great man so your reply is an insult on disable people, and people who lobby for years to End to discriminatory immigration law for people with disabilities and the Liberal government major changes to Canada’s immigration policy that will make it far easier for persons with disabilities and their family members to immigrate to Canada. since last year ,you need to cover your face in shame !

And careful assessing your previous posting ,i suspect you belong to an anti-immigrant group who come online pretending to give advice but Stylishly showing negative altitude and Condemnation toward immigrant...you deserve to be ignore !
