Immigration Issues
Immigration Minister Volpe had announced a sweeping immigration changes in this country which includes foreign students being able to work while studying in this country, parents and grandparents being allowed to come here, the processing of citizenship to 12 months instead of the current almost 24 months and the recognition of credentials from Canadians and immigrants trained abroad.
My comments are these. If these are to be implented as it is, why is it that sons or daughters of immigrants are not allowed to come with them if they passed a certain age limit? This group, belongs to the workforce of this country, while parents and grandparents belongs to the immediate pensioners. Does it mean that they have more importance with regards to family reunification than the sons and daughters? Or does this country simply needs more nannies and care takers? Just like the US, the population of this country is rapidly approaching retirement age, and to put an age barrier or limit to sons and daughters of immigrants, does not justify this move to accept parents and grandparents to this country.
I have nothing against this issue. In fact, I welcome it, but the package is simply not complete. The govt. seems to have disregarded the fact that to parents, their kids have more weight or importance than their parents or grand parents.
Another thing worth taking note is the fact that the govt. announced that they will now recognize credentials from Canadians abroad as well as immigrants. Seems to be a very good idea. However, isn't this also tantamount to admitting that for those thousands and thousands of immigrants that have landed in this country earlier, that they have been discriminated because their "skills" were not recognized by this govt.?
In reality, this govt. actually gave its blessing to employers to discriminate against immigrants in their hiring practices.
This site will be watching these changes constantly and will continue to prod this govt. for all these wrongdoings that is happening in this society.
Immigrants cannot and should not be appeased by a small token of recognition or change. If the govt. is serious, it should implement a thorough revamp and implementation of its policy nationwide.

Immigrants come to Canada thinking all good in this country but after investing so much in immigration, leaving their jobs in back home and settling with family here, nothing comes out any good. What immigrant is facing is discrimination, harassment and devalue for every thing because of these white people mentality. Government wants immigration to work to pay for old whiles CPP and old age security.
