What about Social Security Disability. I am deaf and receive SSDI. If I (I am an American citizen) moved to Canada, would I lose the SSDI?

No. You won't lose it. See:https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf

Once more I will try to explain the Canadian Government's official policy about WHO we want to have immigrate to Canada... Notice that word " Immigrate " ?


Canada does NOT want foreign born seniors , despite what their income might be. We DO want young adults, with children, who are going to live here for the long run. We want people who are going to work, pay taxes and contribute to our economy. In other words,. our Immigration policy is based on "what is good for OUR country ".


No one, from any country, can just up and move to our country. We have established long standing regulations about who we accept, and what qualifications they have to have to be granted permission to come here. Notice that word "permission " ??

US seniors, despite what some here seem to think, cannot " Move to Canada ". They CAN visit, but not live here permanently. Its not a matter of money..........It is a matter of our Immigration policy. Period.


I hope that this will clearly set out the position of the Canadian Government....regarding the idea of US citizens " moving to Canada ". It is not going to happen.


XX.

In other words they discriminate against people with disabilities. That's what the previous poster was asking about.

Where is the discrimination? Being deaf does not mean the poster does not qualify for the point system.

It can be a barrier. The poster said that Canada didn't want those who can't work. I believe the poster said they get SS Disability. That's for those who can't work, or can't earn a substantial income because of a Disability. Canada doesn't want them according to the post I responded too.

Their country, their rules. Deal with it.
You can cry "Discrimination!" all you want, it won't help.
Obviously, such "discrimination' in immigration is legal there.
Again, their country, their rules.
I don't much care for some of their rules, so I simply don't go there.
The same applies to Mexico.
You have the same option.

I'm confused ... why WOULD Canada want them? What would they ADD to Canada? If they go with health problems, they will become Canada's problem -- and why should that happen?

I'm not being snarky -- just can't figure out why many U.S. citizens who can't or won't work in this country think they can move to Canada so easily? It's bizarre to me that anyone would think that.
