Resolution number
6
Whereas
- Women who have been accepted as refugees or permanent residents in Canada and who are seeking family reunification with their children overseas are required to produce a signed consent form from the father, or a custody order if the parents have separated;
- This creates an unfair burden on women in some cases, especially in cases of domestic violence;
- Such demands are leading to delays which, in some cases, compromise the best interests of children affected;
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR request that the Canadian Government find alternative solutions, which correct gender imbalance and respect the best interests of the child, in such cases.
