Quicker Family Reunification: Phases

Phase I: It will welcome 50,000 parents and grandparents, via offering them permanent residency rights. The said figure will be boosted further during 2014.

Phase II: Sufficient flexibility would be offered to the family-members who wish to avail the ‘multiple entry permit’ on receiving the same for a decade. Besides, they will be in a position to reside in the Maple Country for a time-frame of 2 years.

Fresh Changes: Benefits

Apparently, the Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is certain that the latest steps would help the parents and grandparents even while simultaneously the nation’s limited resources will be shared and made use of with a better reason. Allegedly, efforts are also on to avoid putting too much pressure on either of the two involved parties: the visiting parents & grandparents, and the sponsors/tax payers.
