Citizenship Immigration Canada and Patrick Kongawi

Canada: Kongawi, who has lived in Saskatchewan for 22 years, says his parents don't intend to stay in Canada, according to CBC. He says they meet all the criteria for obtaining a visa. "I feel that the immigration office treats you differently depending on where you come from. In the rejection letters, Citizenship and Immigration Canada says that Patrick Kongawi parents did not convince its agents that they will leave the country before their visas expire. If I did not come from a troubled country, if I was from a stable country, I think I would not have experienced the same obstacles," Kongawi said. However, citizens from 58 other countries can visit Canada without visas. Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, nationals of 148 countries, mainly in Africa, the Middle East and South America need a visa to visit Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
