Visa Officers: Exercise Discretion and Sociology Professor

visa officers: It's a phony issue, as far as I'm concerned, to say that somehow immigrants don't have or don't develop the so-called values that the rest of us have, says Victor Satzewich, a sociology professor at the Hamilton university, according to CBC. Satzewich is the author of Points of Entry, which includes a behind-the-scenes look at how applications to enter Canada are processed, and how visa officers make decisions or exercise discretion. Despite having spoken to her on the phone to explain how she misunderstands his book, and having published an op-ed firing against her policy, he's wearily finding himself cited in a video that went viral last week. They are working incredibly hard to make ends meet. In an interview with CBC News, Satzewich said Leitch's plan doesn't make any sense, from a practical point of view, and she misunderstands the decision-making process of immigration officials. They want to have the same things that other Canadians want.'- Victor Satzewich Leitch, one of 14 people vying for the Conservative leadership, has cited the book in both her controversial campaign launch speech in November and in a viral video released on Feb. 26 while explaining her campaign's intention to screen all immigrants for anti-Canadian values.
