u.s .,: Duo Lal and Sam Rashid

u.s .,: Sam Rashid, guitarist with the Toronto/Hamilton band Pet Sun, said the move could prove financially devastating for bands like his, according to Metro News. It already expensive enough as it is to tour the U.S., he said, adding that most musicians feel like they have perform there to break in and make a living. The fee for the form to do that will jump to $460 from $325 per petition, starting Dec. 3. Our market only so big here, he said. She and bandmate Nicholas Murray are beginning to tour more and were planning on heading south at the end of next summer. Rosina Kazi, a member of the Toronto Electronic duo lal, said the increased fees are definitely a concern for smaller acts like hers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
