Families and advocates react to Canada's new immigration policy which aims to make it easier for people with disabilities to come to Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government announced Monday it is making major changes to a 40-year-old immigration law many legal experts say discriminates against people with disabilities. The decision comes after a months-long investigation by Global News.

Karolina Krystyniak fears her family could be denied permanent residency due to her son's disability. Now the NDP is tabling a bill in Parliament that could end this 'discriminatory' practice.

A committee comprised of all MPs is advising the Trudeau government to repeal a section of the Canada's act that is discriminatory.

A Manitoba family learned Tuesday the federal government has reversed its decision and will allow them to stay in Canada.

“The current excessive demand provision policy simply does not align with our country’s values on the inclusion of persons with disabilities,” Canada's immigration minister said.

Advocates say parts of Canada's immigration system "expose the longstanding disabilism and hypocrisy of the Canadian government and Trudeau."

"When will the minister stop discriminating against children with disabilities and scrap this outdated provision?”, asked NDP Immigration Critic Jenny Kwan.
