No. I am not kidding.
AFAIK, there's a ban on parents of kids with Down Syndrome
that want to live in Canada. The argument is that it puts too
much stress into the (state owned) medical system, etc.
But I might be wrong. I knew that it was so about 10 years ago,
when an ex-boss found a job in Ca and had to fill a form denying
a lot of things, including having a Down Syndrome kid. And I
have just asked this question in the down-syn list, and got the
same response.
But Ca is not alone; the USA also had this ban [before some
law changed], Australia probably has it too, and England bans
unless you are a millionaire.
