Family Reunification: John Mccallum

Citizenship And Immigration Dept: The fax, a copy of which was obtained by News, was sent to Markham MP John McCallum from the Mississauga case processing centre of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and appears to be in response to an application by an immigrant to sponsor a parent to come to Canada, according to CBC. Late Thursday, a senior government source told News that the Department of Citizenship and Immigration is still processing family reunification visa applications. The source said the fax was sent in error and that the processing of family reunification visas has not been frozen and liberal Leader Bob Rae demanded answers about Canada's family reunification visa policy in question period Thursday, after a government fax was sent to a Liberal MP's office suggesting a freeze on parental sponsorships. The fax states: "As we are not currently processing any parental sponsorships at this time new or returned cases , this case will be finalized once we get the go-ahead from management to start working on parental sponsorships again." As reported in the news.
