Vancouver Immigration: Family Reunification

Parents And Grandparents Dept: Vancouver immigration specialist Richard Kurland has uncovered an Immigration Canada report showing the government is aiming to cut by 40 per cent the number of offshore parents and grandparents permitted into Canada this year, according to Vancouver Sun. "They will never get here. They will never see this land. They will die waiting for a visa," said Charan Gill, head of Surrey-based Progressive Intercultural Community Services, which serves more than 35,000 immigrants a year and a federal government plan to dramatically reduce the number of foreign parents and grandparents allowed into Canada on family reunification visas has upset Asian immigrant communities. With a backlog of more than 140,000 applicants wanting to come to Canada through family reunification visas, Kurland and the director of a major B.C. immigrant services group predict the lower target means most senior family members of Canadians will never make it to this country. As reported in the news.
