A Filipino mother working in B.C. is going through what she calls an immigration nightmare as she has been trying to bring her teenage daughter to Canada for three years.
However, the 15-year-old girl is deaf and immigration authorities sent her mother Windy Palmiano a letter in March questioning if her daughter is medically inadmissable.
They gave her 90 days to prove her daughter will not be a burden on taxpayers.
Windy has until late June to submit her response to Immigration Canada and hopes they can understand she just wants to reunite with her daughter.
Lawyer Laura Best says Windy will also need to convince officials her daughter can be allowed into Canada.
“You can rely on humanitarian and compassionate factors,” said Best. “So even though I’m medically inadmissable I should be able to come to Canada because of ‘x, y, z.'”
