Immigration Matters: Vancouver Area

Sun Sea Dept: "The society's immigration funding is limited," Legal Services Society manager Rod Holloway said in a letter Thursday to lawyers who have been representing the migrants, according to CBC. Most of the 492 migrants who arrived on Vancouver Island on Aug. 13 aboard the MV Sun Sea remain in detention in the Vancouver area and the organization that provides legal aid in B.C. says it's running out of money in its efforts to represent the Tamil migrants who arrived in August. "The arrival of Tamils who are currently detained has placed us in a position where funding their detention reviews will, very shortly, exhaust our current resources allocated to immigration matters." As reported in the news.
