Discrimination

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!
