加速家庭团聚个案 放宽学生就业管制
加国无忧 2005年04月18日，来源：星岛日报
联邦自由党政府希望精简入籍的申请，并且令到移民更为容许申请父母及祖父母来加拿大团聚。 消息来源称，移民部长胡平藻(Joe Volpe)亦正计划放宽对来自外地的学院及大学的学生的就业管制，让他们在留加期间更易找寻工作。
目前预期，胡平藻将于今天在宾顿市举行新闻发布会，宣布这些措施。
入籍方面的改变旨在清除积压的个案。目前，申请人可能需要等候两年才获知结果，而政府希望将最长的等候时间缩短至不超过12个月。
在家庭团聚方面，新措施希望能够把每年处理的个案数目增加多两倍，由现行的6,000宗增至1.8万宗，以便清理目前所积压的约10万个申请个案。
渥京的知情人士表示，加速家庭团聚的措施的改变将会巨大。
联邦政府将会在未来2年动用7,200万元来加快处理申请个案及协助新移民安居。
另方面，移民部也会让正申请前来加拿大与子女及孙子女团聚的人士在等候结果期间更容易入境。
消息来源指称，目前这些人士每多被拒入境，因为移民部的官员不相信他们会离开。
由于一些申请需时长达5年，这些人士因而可能被拒入境长达5年之久。消息来源指称，新措施将会带来即时的改善。
由今天开始，移民部会较为愿意向这些人士发出多次的入境签证。不过，官员强调，卫生及保安的审查不会取消。
另方面，根据现行的规例，国际学生在求学期间，只可以担任校园内的工作，而新措施则会加以放宽，容许他们在校园外找寻工作。
这将会有助国际学生赚钱来负担部分学费。然而，消息来源解释，真正的目的是方便这些学生找到与课程有关的工作，以符合诸如工读交流计划等的要求。
与此同时，新措施也延长了他们在毕业后留在加拿大工作的期限，由目前的1年增长至2年，但有地域限制，只适用于多伦多、温哥华及满地可市之外的职位。
联邦官员透露，学院及大学一直游说推行这些改变，以便吸引更多海外学生。
胡平藻推出这些新政策，刚好是自由党致力发动公关手段，以图抵消赞助丑闻的效应，争取选民的支持。
然而，自由党的策略家坚称，不应把胡平藻的移民政策改革措施视为收买选票之举。
他们表示，胡平藻自从1月上任以来，已经就这些新措施展开工作。
一名内阁助理表示，胡平藻采取行动，原因是要改善目前的制度，而非只为讨好族裔社群。

Ottawa to speed immigration process
Last Updated Mon, 18 Apr 2005 08:42:09 EDT

OTTAWA - Citizenship and Immigration Minister Joe Volpe is expected to announce a plan Monday to quicken the pace of the application process for immigrants who want to settle in Canada.
Part of the $72-million plan is aimed at helping those who want to sponsor their parents or grandparents, a process that immigration lawyers say can take between five and 10 years because there is a backlog of about 100,000 cases.

Key aspects of the immigration plan, according to various media reports:
A tripling in the number of parents and grandparents accepted over the next two years, bringing the total to 18,000 a year.
A change to allow international students to work and gain Canadian experience while they are being trained in this country.
Incentives to encourage new Canadians to settle outside major metropolitan centres like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.
More money to clear a growing backlog of citizenship applications.
The changes do not need legislative approval and could take place immediately, giving the Liberals some campaign momentum with immigrant communities should their minority government fall this spring or summer.
Volpe was expected to announce the immigration plan in Brampton, Ont., on Monday morning, accompanied by MPs from other Toronto-area ridings that are home to significant numbers of new Canadians.
Big backlogs causing hardship
Immigration lawyer Michael Greene says there should be a public debate over solving the backlogs in bringing family members to Canada, which are causing severe hardship for new immigrants.
"I do think that Canadian family values are there and that it's a motherhood and apple pie issue ? and in this case, literally a motherhood issue," he said.
Harbinder Gill, who moved to Calgary from the Indian state of Punjab seven years ago, says the delay is taking a heavy toll on him.
"I drive stressed, I go to work stressed, I'm always stressed, I stay home stressed," he said. "I'm always thinking about my mother and sisters."
His father died after Gill arrived in Canada, but every day he waits for some news about whether he'll be reunited with his aging mother and his sisters.
After five years of waiting, he is beginning to give up hope. If his family sponsorship application isn't approved in the next year, the 35-year-old says he'll move back to India.
"We find this across the country," said Calgary Conservative MP Lee Richardson of the frustration and despair felt by immigrants wanting their families nearby. "Upwards of 70 per cent of case work in our MPs' offices are immigration business.
"That's nuts. There's something wrong with the system."

With the joyful tears on the face, I realized that CIC finally will do something to fix the huge backlog it caused in the past two years. For many, it is a victory of human rights; it is a victory of the nature of human beings. However, two years have been wasted. Our parents are still apart with their lovely sons and daughters and no where to know exactly how many years they have to wait. Will they become the winner when they have to take competition with time? Can they still bear the brutal separation for another two years? I asked myself again and again. It is truly that something is shining at the end of the tunnel; however, we still have long way to go before this little shining become the joyful reunification. Keep fighting, guys. Our parents need us; we are the only hope of our parents.

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Sponsor Your Parents Demand Immediate Action on Parental Sponsorship Backlog
TORONTO, April 18, 2005 ?Sponsor Your Parents was supportive of Immigration Minister Joe Volpe? press release today, where he stated that parental class sponsorships will be increased, but remains highly critical of the government? lack of action.
?hile it is a positive development to see that Minister Volpe has finally admitted to the serious backlog of over 100,000 parental sponsorship applications, contrary to his comments in the House of Commons last February, the government must immediately implement a strict timeline on solving a backlog issue that they authored?says Sponsor your Parents Director Kalen Liang. ?hildren miss their parents? Liang says.
?ven with the new quotas announced today, in light of the current backlog it will still take over six years for me to see my mother? says Sponsor Your Parents Founder Eugenia Yahknin. ?he government could have easily solved this problem months and months ago, but Minister Volpe remains unwilling to meet with our organization to discuss this backlog crisis. The Minister must clarify immediately how he plans to bring our parents to Canada in the near term, or immigrants will remain nervous that he is only offering pie in the sky?
Michael Mostyn, Conservative Candidate of Record for York-Centre, hopes that the Liberals have not already squandered the millions of dollars in application fees taken from Canadian immigrants. ?his is yet another Liberal sponsorship scandal? Mostyn says. ? certainly hope that the Liberals have not placed these fees into general revenues. Where is all the money? I would estimate that the Liberals have taken in tens of millions more in deposits than they are prepared to spend. The Liberals have either been swindling Canadian immigrants by skimming off the top of this program, or they are refusing to allocate the funds necessary to clear up this Liberal-made backlog?
Immigrants to Canada must pay non-refundable fees starting at $500 per parent to have the government consider their parents immigration applications. Sponsor Your Parents has urged the government to remove the application backlog for parental sponsorship applications, and this plea remains unanswered.
The Liberal government has recently created this same problem that it is now seeking to solve. Even after tripling the quotas from 6,000 to 18,000, these numbers are still below 2003 levels, and do not appear relevant to solving the current backlog crisis.
