Many changes are coming to the immigration policies in Canada. The executive director of Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers, Erick Ambtman, said his organization had raised the issue of family separation, and he is happy the government is finally listening. One of the main changes will be the number of parents and grandparents allowed to relocate to Canada. If you are considering immigration to Canada, contact Become A Canadian.
