Immigration Museum and Lee Cohen

Lee Cohen: Lee Cohen said the federal government multi-million dollar investment in the immigration museum is a form of misplaced priority, given its focus on increasing the regulations and criteria for immigrants and refugees, according to Metro News. Most would not be admitted to Canada today, he said and A prominent immigration lawyer in Halifax says many of the immigrants who entered Canada through Pier 21 wouldn t be allowed into the country today, thanks to government policies that he says have grown more restrictive. Cohen says recent policy changes favour a designer-style immigrant who is highly educated, wealthy and with a good grasp of English or French not a description of many of the people who came through Pier 21.
