Act Now

Disability and Immigration

Write to your Member of Parliament urging Canada to undertake a review of the excessive demand clause of the Immigration Act. Also, urge your MP to support a Ministerial permit for the Barlagne family on humanitarian grounds. The Barlagnes, an immigrant family, are being forced to leave Canada because they have a daughter with a disability. Speak out about the need to change Canada's discriminatory immigration practices that devalue people with disabilities. See CCD's letter to the Hon. Jason Kenney, Minister of Immigration.
