e-4871 (Citizenship and immigration)
E-petition
Initiated by Tania Rampillon from Sainte-Justine-de-Newton, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- Petition number 421-01353 on sponsorship applications for family reunification was presented to the House of Commons on May 16, 2017, and government response 8545-421-23-13 stated that it is seeking a “fair and transparent” process;
- We believe that case selection is NOT fair and transparent;
- Thousands of families are still waiting for reunification after many years; and
- The annual quota for accepted sponsorship applications creates intense competition between applicants and excludes many families who want to be reunited in Canada.
We, the undersigned, citizens and permanent residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Give those who lost the lottery during one year, priority in subsequent years;
2. Keep applicants updated on their case after a lottery; and
3. Review the process so that family reunification stays “a core immigration priority for the Government of Canada,” as stated in its response of May 16, 2017.
