Citizenship And Immigration Canada: Greater Toronto Area

Public Sentiment Dept: At least that s the view of an increasing number of people who say they have become victimized by a highly influential and what they call irresponsible ethnic media in the Greater Toronto Area, according to The Star. When the local Punjabi media got wind of it, they sided with the husband. They talked about the shameless bride for weeks, whipping up public sentiment against her. Her photographs were published in a slew of Punjabi newspapers and callers to radio talk shows demanded just one thing: deport her and we ve all heard about the power of the press. It pales in comparison to the power of the Punjabi press. Take the case of a 33-year-old bride who landed in Toronto after her husband sponsored her arrival from India. She left him within weeks, alleging abuse, and the spurned husband went to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, saying she had married him only to come to Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
