CBC News – Winnipeg Man, 85, Deported to Iran Despite Family’s Pleas for Compassion

Masoud’s father, Mirzaali Vaezzadeh, has been living in Canada with no status since 1997, when he and his family came to Canada. Mirzaali’s wife’s application for permanent residence was granted in 2003, but his was denied.

Quelque 550 personnes pouvaient être sélectionnées, annuellement, dans chaque programme, soit 1650 immigrants au total. Mais dans les faits, quelques mois après l’entrée en vigueur de ces programmes, au tout début du printemps, l’objectif semble loin d’être atteint.
Le Soleil – Ottawa veut faciliter la tâche de 500 « réfugiés économiques »
Le gouvernement fédéral élargit un projet pilote qui permet aux réfugiés de demander la résidence permanente par le biais des filières conventionnelles d’immigration économique, mais en supprimant certains des obstacles qui les auraient auparavant empêchés de le faire.
