Immigration System: Immigration

Conservative Claims Dept: In a statement signed by about 40 of the country's leading lawyers and professors, the group tells newcomers to Canada that they shouldn't believe Conservative claims, accusing Immigration Minister Jason Kenney of "manipulating" statistics to suggest that the government has been improving the immigration system, according to Vancouver Sun. Lorne Waldman, a Toronto-based immigration lawyer, says the group has been talking to ethnic media outlets leading up to the May 2 vote and dozens of lawyers and academics from across the country are urging Canadians not to vote Tory because the party's policies have been "unfriendly" to the immigrant community. "A review of facts shows that this government's policies have not been friendly to immigrant communities. The Conservative government has made a habit of using immigration issues to stir up anti-immigrant sentiments among other Canadians," the group wrote. As reported in the news.
