Bristol to Barrie

Having served 22+ years service with the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (REME), we're planning a new life in pastures new. This is an account of our immigration journey, from UK to Canada, beginning to end.

Things could get interesting....

Having trawled many more threads on BE this weekend I've run into what will no doubt be the first of many potential show stoppers.

My youngest daughter (Amber) has a Statement of Special Needs for a learning difficulty, i.e. she has some 1 to 1 in class which the CiC might flag up on the medicals as creating ‘Excessive Demand.' Basically, if they think she’ll cost more than $4,806 a year then she’s excessive. Mind you, that includes everything i.e. education, health etc. She doesn’t have any health issues so that’s a bonus.

If they do decide she’s an excessive demand then we'll have to put forward a plan of how we’re going to address this, i.e. pay to send her to private school or pay for extra tutoring etc. I guess we'll cross that hurdle if and when we come to it!
