Songqiao Xu: Immigration Backlog

Conservative Government Dept: Today, Songqiao is almost 8 and his mother and father are still waiting for their immigration visas to be approved, according to The Star. The door to Canada will soon be shut for them with the Conservative government s recent announcement it plans to return all skilled worker applications received before 2008 and wipe out the lengthy backlog and little Songqiao Xu was only a year old when his parents applied to come to Canada in 2006. Their wait, in an immigration backlog that today includes 300,000 other skilled workers and their families, will soon be over. But the outcome is not what they had hoped. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
