A Different Picture Through the Looking-Glass: Equality, Liberalism and the Question of Fairness in Canadian Immigration Health Policy

Research output: Articlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper provides a critical evaluation of section 38 of Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), which identifies three health grounds on which an individual may be denied entry into Canada. It examines the medical inadmissibility criteria against international human rights norms, liberal interpretations of justice and research data on patterns of immigrant utilization of healthcare services in Canada.
