Refugee Law: Immigration System

Canadian Immigration Dept: "We sincerely hope that the solution this Parliament is studying, through comprehensive amendments to the refugee law, will also serve as a bridge that will enable us to renew our exchanges of our visitors," Calderon said in an address before a joint session of Parliament, according to CTV. Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said it will be a year at least before Canada can remove the controversial visa requirement and mexican President Felipe Calderon called on the Canadian government to consider changing its policy requiring Mexicans to get visitors' visas before visiting Canada. "We thoroughly respect Canada's right to make decisions regarding its immigration system. I cannot, however, fail to convey to you our regret at those incidents and those decisions." As reported in the news.
