Zuan Zhong: Immigration Rules

zuan zhong: Now a permanent resident, he applied to bring his wife and daughter here under the family reunification policy, according to Toronto Star. But a Canadian immigration official in Hong Kong turned down his application, arguing that the girl he had raised from infancy is not part of his family. Zuan Zhong came to this country in 2010, fleeing persecution as a Catholic. He and his wife had found her abandoned on their doorstep in 1997 and took her into their home. The immigration official, scrupulously applying Canada's immigration rules, decided that the girl, named Shanrong and now 20 years old, did not qualify to be sponsored as Zhong's daughter. But they never officially adopted her because of the stigma that surrounds such illegal or black children in China. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
