Immigration Experts: Immigration and Arif Virani

immigration experts: Although the meetings are by invitation only — more are coming in August — the public can submit ideas by email to the minister, according to Metro News. Since early July, more than 2,500 online submissions have been received. Since the beginning of the summer, Immigration Minister John McCallum and his parliamentary secretary, Arif Virani, have held more than two dozen roundtable meetings across Canada with settlement services organizations, businesses and community groups to get their thoughts. Submissions end Aug. 5. While the final report won't be ready till at least the fall, Torstar News Service interviewed a group of immigration experts to weigh in on the national dialogue by identifying gaps in the system and offering solutions. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will be reviewing the feedback from Canadians to help guide decisions on how many people we will welcome in the coming years and the future of immigration in Canada, said a department spokesperson.
