Question Period: Border and Visitors

question period: That means doing face-to-face interviews, based on the Senate standing committee report published in 2015, that recommends that we do face-to-face interviews, Leitch said, according to CTV. Asked if that included visitors as well as immigrants and refugees, something she has said repeatedly, she suggested visitors would be excluded. In an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CTV's Question Period, Leitch said she wants to do the process properly. We meet individual visitors, tourists, at the border already. Anyone entering Canada at an official border crossing has to go through a border official. And there are some we do more extensive background checks on, she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
