Resolution number
28
Whereas
- The reunification of families continues to be a serious problem for refugees in Canada;
- No financial support requirement need be satisfied in the resettlement of protected persons;
- Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, children who are granted "protected person" status in Canada are not permitted to include their parents and siblings, either abroad or in Canada, in their applications to be landed as "protected persons";
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR call upon the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to amend the Regulations [R. 1(3)] so that "family member" of a "protected person" includes the parent and siblings of a "protected person" who is a minor.
