Moving to Canada with Autistic Teenager

What do you mean by PR?

wow! you also have a child on the spectrum?

I recently saw a post saying that it's a great place to live with an autistic child. It seems like not with all you are telling me!

PR - permeant resident. I thought that's what you want to do to come to Canada. Otherwise, how would you be able to come and work and get all the benefit and assistance.

They also said healthcare is free.

Oh Ok senior parent.

Yes, I want the permanent resident card.

I don't have $18,00.

Even if I research by city of state it's still going to hard to get my son what he needs.

Maybe, with the insurance and some state funding but even ....

You need $18k for proof of funds to immigrate that does not include biometrics, ECA, IELTS, TEF, medicals and application costs. Canada has provinces so need to look at social assistance to see if eligible. Social assistance is not enough to live on. Insurance is through your Canadian employer (if they have a health insurance program)

If you don't have 18k in savings, then immigration to Canada isn't going to be feasible.

Some is but not all.

what are the jobs in demands?

what are the jobs in demands?

It varies from province to province. Google "in demand jobs" and the name of the province. Health care occupations (nurses, etc.) are generally in demand. STEM is generally in demand. Medical billing isn't really in demand at all because our health care system is so different from the US.

stem?

 

[scylla]

stem?

Please Google it. This is a very common acronym.

How exactly will you be able to work? Your child will end school mid afternoon and age out of special education at age 21 where you will be expected to be their full-time caregiver. I think your expectations of Canada are extremely unrealistic. You seem to be expecting Canada to provide free care and an affordable life with social supports which is not the reality.
