Toronto Star – Ottawa Floats Idea of Making Immigrant Spouses Meet Language and Education Requirements
The federal government is considering imposing language and education requirements on people whose husbands or wives want to sponsor them as immigrants, the Star has learned. The notion, which community representatives say Immigration Minister Chris Alexander has floated in a series of consultations since January, has raised instant alarm. Some attending the consultation say the possible change is aimed at better protecting and integrating immigrant women. But critics fear it would prevent many overseas spouses, particularly those from the developing world who haven’t learned English or French, from ever qualifying for family reunification. The government is also considering requiring Canadian sponsors to reach a minimum income level to be eligible to bring in a wife, husband or children from abroad, critics say. […] Lawyer Avvy Go, executive director of the Metro Toronto Chinese & Southeast Asian Legal Clinic, who attended one of the consultations, said such a move would be “a direct attack on Canada’s family reunification program.”

Cameroonvoice – Canada. Entrées et sorties: Ce qui va changer
Au mois de février 2011, le Canada et les Etats-Unis se mettaient d’accord sur le contrôle de leurs frontières afin de partager la même vision en termes de périmètre de sécurité et de compétitivité économique. Plus connu sous le nom de « Plan d’Action par-delà la frontière », le but de cette entente est de renforcer la coopération entre les deux nations et d’harmoniser les pratiques d’immigration actuellement en place au Canada et aux Etats-Unis. Le gouvernement canadien se réjouit de cette future collaboration et introduira dès l’année 2014-2015 trois changements significatifs en matière d’immigration canadienne qui auront un impact direct sur la quasi-totalité des personnes qui désireront voyager au Canada.
