      I googled this because I was curious, and it doesn’t look like they have a blanket ban on people with autism. It seems they only exclude people who need expensive care.

      (Not defending this policy, ofc. Just trying to get the facts right)

      https://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/#46506.htm

      Severe developmental disorders or severe cognitive impairments where significant support is required, including but not exclusive to:
      … autistic spectrum disorders

      I would of course check with an immigration lawyer before committing to a plan to move, though.

      i didn’t see that one, but i wouldn’t doubt it since it and canada seem to be very picky about who they’ll let in; it makes me wonder about what will happen to the vast majority of people who say that canada’s their exit plan when the united states goes full fascist.

        I in 2018 Canada finaly allowed Autistic individuals in, however if you go they have an amount of money that you can pull from the heathcare system cap, and if you exceede that they will not renew the visa.

        Oddly though that is not the worst problem with Canada, the worst problem is that they have declared the Unites States a “Safe Country” so they will not consider any assylum claims from Americans

          so you’re saying that i don’t need to be a nazi veteran?

          that’s too bad, because i too want to be publicly applauded by canada’s government as a hero for standing against russian agression. lol
