e-1015 (Immigration)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
- The current proposal to amend the IRCC regulations regarding the age of dependent children for the purpose of immigration is expected to come into force in the fall of 2017. In failing to address the situation of those immigrant families negatively affected under the current IRCC regulation, the new regulation will keep many families divided;
- Many spouses who recently immigrated to Canada under the family sponsorship program are under a two-year probation period, in the form of a conditional PR. This probation period is expected to be repealed. However, until it is, these spouses feel as second class residents and often feel they have an inferior status in their spousal relationship;
- These are incompatible with our Canadian values; and
- Canada's 150th birthday offers an opportunity to the House of Commons to recognize the vital contribution of immigrants in the building of our country, brick by brick, by showing compassion and understanding for newly arrived immigrants.
