You really need a lawyer to respond to a PFL not a consultant. I would also supervise the lawyer to make sure they are truly represent your case. I agree that the view of disabled people is better in Canada than in many places. Many people are under the false impression that they will be better off financially in Canada with their disabled child. If you come from a middle class background in a place like India for example you will be able to pay out of pocket for substantially more help that you would have to do yourself in Canada and have to pay significantly more out of pocket since things are much more expensive in Canada. It also really depends on the extent of disability. Some children that have CP grow up to be adults who are able to have crutches and braces but are also able to attend university and go on to have a job like any other graduate while others are wheelchair bound and have more cognitive issues. If your child has minor disabilities then Canada would likely be a better place because it is a more accepting environment. Certainly not perfect but more accepting of disabilities. I had to pay 5k a year for multiple years to get physiotherapy for a chronic condition. I did not have extended benefits through my work. Had I not been able to pay out of pocket I would have had to go without. Most extended benefit plans would not have covered 5k of PT a year. If you wanted to pay out of pocket for a personal support worker the private rate is currently $20-25/hr I believe these days which is unaffordable for most. This is why family ends up doing most of the caregiving. I would suggest trying to make contact with other parents of children with CP in Canada through Reddit or Facebook to get a more realistic picture of what you can expect in Canada. What are the types of support you can receive but what are the costs and what are you expected to take on as a family. I think you will find the the support received is not much compared to the costs, loss of income if one parent can’t work or can’t work full-time and caregiving requirements
but what are the costs. What can be expected in terms of schooling or programs. What about summer and other school holidays? If your child is in a wheelchair how much does it cost to get a wheelchair accessible car? What medical devices are covered by public healthcare and what is covered by an extended benefit plan. Thinks like various braces, wheelchairs, hoists, special beds, etc. Can you get any respite care and how much can you get a year? Respite care is often provided through charitable organizations and are in limited supply and not available in all regions. Would ask parents how much they depend on family members for support to get by. Would suggest exploring these issues before you pay money to pursue a PFL because that will be thousands of dollars.
