Advocates are seeking a change to a law that prohibits sponsorship of undeclared dependants. By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Mon., Aug. 22, 2016 Eritrean refugee Tesfalem Beyin Sengal waited 11 years before he was resettled to Canada from an Ethiopian camp in March. The rule took effect in 2002 to combat fraud and misrepresentation, assuming the non-disclosure was meant to deceive officials, as in cases where an applicant left out a sick family member to get around the medical requirement and later tried to submit a humanitarian critics say, the law also inadvertently catches many who have legitimate reasons not to name family members when applying, as was the case with Beyin Sengal.
