Visa Restrictions: Immigration

Immigration Minister Dept: "The experts are going to research how the Czech authorities protect minorities and assist their integration," the Czech Press Agency reported Friday, according to Calgary Herald. Visa restrictions were imposed in 2009 in a bid to shut down a wave of Roma arriving in Canada, claiming persecution in the Czech Republic and the Canadian government is sending experts to Prague later this month to assess whether Canada can safely lift its visa restrictions on the Czech Republic without opening the door to a new wave of Roma refugee claimants. Alykhan Velshi, spokesman for Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, confirmed that the experts will participate in a five-day "information gathering visit" starting Jan. 31. As reported in the news.
