CIC: For these countries, I think there is discrimination, according to CBC. CIC does not consider the circumstances of individuals, it considers generic criteria.'- David Matas This is often the case when the applicant is from a country plagued by political or economic instability, Matas said. "For these countries, I think there is discrimination. Former Canadian delegate to the United Nations David Matas believes it is "almost impossible" for a tourist to visit Canada, if they do not meet certain "generic criteria," because Citizenship and Immigration Canada wants to make sure that visitors return to their home country when their visa expires instead of making a refugee claim. CIC does not consider the circumstances of individuals, it considers generic criteria such as: Are you rich Do you have children ," he said. Patrick Kongawi blames the constant refusal of visa applications on the fact that they are citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Matas' comments come after a case of a Saskatchewan man who has been struggling to bring his parents to visit Canada for 13 years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
