Citizenship and Immigration Canada published on March 26, 2011 a notice proposing that some sponsored spouses have only “conditional” permanent residence for two years or more.
Citizenship and ImmigrationCanada (CIC) is asking for comments on their proposal. They must be submitted by Monday April 25th. The CCR encourages organizations to comment on this proposed change, which would be a big step backwards in Canadian immigration policy, and would be detrimental to the equality, safety and protection in particular of women and children.
Take action!
- Send your comments on the notice to Citizenship and Immigration Canada by Monday April 25th (to Justine Akman, mailto:justine.akman%40cic.gc.ca – see details at http://bit.ly/fIhvWx)
- Make the concerns known in the public and through the media.
- Contact the CCR if you would like to discuss developing a joint strategy to oppose this proposal (for example a joint statement signed by many organizations?). Email marisa@ccrweb.ca.
Take a look at the election questions while you're on the CCR website.
