Hmmm...ComSoc should be ashamed of itself for discriminating against a child who is hearing impaired- I'd suggest
contacting a local agency that handles situations for/with
hearingimpaired individuals to have them help advocate for the child...hearing impairment is no reason to not allow child into Canada).
Good luck!
