A Calgary critical-care doctor's application for permanent residency has been rejected because one of his daughters might be a drain on the health care system.
South African physician Stanley Muwanguzi says his 22-year-old daughter has been institutionalized since she was a toddler and he has no intention of moving her to Canada.
Muwanguzi, who works at the Peter Lougheed Hospital, has been practising in Canada since 2002.
A letter from the government sent to Muwanguzi says he doesn't meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
The letter says that under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, a "person whose health condition, severe developmental delay associated with cerebral palsy, might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services," is inadmissible to Canada.
