‘Contininey loss’: Canada court blocked the exile of Indian man, wife has ADHD

A Canadian court has blocked the exile of Jagjit Singh, an Indian-origin person, stating that his separation from his wife, who has ADHD (meditation-ghata/over-active disorder), will cause “irreparable loss” to the wife. According to the court filing, Singh came to Canada in 2021 on a temporary resident visa and claimed a refugee. Then they got married in Canada and his wife applied to sponsor his permanent resident application, and Jagjit Singh withdrew his refugee claim this year.But their expulsion process already started, while their resident application was being reviewed and the Canada Border Services Agency finally ordered him to be exiled. Singh appealed against the exile order to the federal court of Canada and claimed that he would be in danger if he was sent back to India.Singh also claimed that his expulsion would “be serious prejudice for his spouse due to his health status”.Federal Judge Avavi Yao-Yao Go said that there is evidence that Singh’s wife, referred to as LB in court documents, suffers from ADHD that disrupts her ability to manage time and everyday responsibilities. “In the case before me, there is evidence that LB is suffering from ADHD which affects and is his ability to manage time, stress focus and everyday responsibilities. [Singh] Provides support to him with other things, helps him maintain the daily structure and reminder for drugs and appointments, and provides him with emotional stability and mental health aid, “Go said.The ruling attracted backlash on social media, with many users indicating that ADHD is not as serious. “The judge who stopped the exile order of an Indian person because his wife had an activist before being appointed to the ADHD bench,” one wrote. Many social media users said that his wife should also go to India with him. “I wonder how his wife survived before meeting her?” One person said. “It is derogatory. Not only for people with ADHD, but for our country. So pathetic,” wrote another.
