Jason Kenney: Finger Printing

Printing Program Dept: Earlier on Friday, the Toronto Star reported the federal government is planning to roll out the first phase of the $200-million electronic finger-printing program in India because of ongoing concerns with widespread immigration fraud on applications from that country, according to CBC. There is a list of countries currently being considered but Power wouldn't say which ones are on the list. The ministry expects to make a decision in early fall, but it could come as late as 2012, she said and immigration Minister Jason Kenney's office has confirmed Canada is considering rolling out biometric scanning for travellers seeking visas to Canada, but it won't say which country will be first. But spokeswoman Celyeste Power said there has been no decision yet on which countries are going to get the biometrics. As reported in the news.
