Citizenship and Immigration Minister Joe Volpe Announces Tripling of the Number of Parents and Grandparents Immigrating to Canada in 2005

Minister Volpe is also announcing that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will be more flexible in issuing multiple-entry visitor visas to parents and grandparents. This will allow them to visit their families in Canada while their sponsorship applications are in process, as long as they are able to prove that they are visiting temporarily. Regular security and health screening will still apply and some parents and grandparents may require health coverage to be admissible to Canada.

Grandparents?

Isnt this taking it a little too far?

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.

The Libs seem to be running scared! The Tories had been courting the immigrant / minority vote on this sponsoring of parents issue and from the looks of it, that's forced the Libs to act.

Maybe foreign professionals who feel done in by the lack of reciprocal recognition of their qualifications should push a similar campaign!

Yep, Political it is...All the way

i like the "students can work off campus". Could have saved me a bunch if implemented a few years ago.

I also just saw some Desis protesting outside the place where Joe Volpe was announcing the new measures.....

Probably a conservative candidate with all his suporters.

One said "We dont like same sex marriage, against out nature, even animals dont do it"

I didnt know animals married at all....
