THI MAIL Cites Crowded Housing Problem of Immigrants 3 John Street Apartment S Dear Sir I would like to a coup le of opinions concerning huu and immifcraUon I have Canada all my When I gut lived with my time Some time the of our first we moved lo Brampton for eight months When we decided to move to apartment we hid a very hard time to find accommodation We called every apartment in the local newspapers Most of the vacant ones were room I if they one child three i reply was that National Health and Welfare would not allow child of three or over to sleep in the same rooi parents as this is unhealthy I then added that have a couch that pulls out to a bed and my husband and I would sleep there leaving the bedroom for our daughter The an that under no circumstances could they rent a one bedroom apartment to a family child over three years I this answer from over the one bedroom several months of searching managed to get very reason able accommodation in George town 3 bedroom Now I know of many Portu and Italian people who are emigrating to Canada way of supposedly reasonable sponsors As a matter of fact I meet these people through my husbands family who arc Portugese A Portugese family on the outskirts of Brampton made a contract with the Canadian go to have her sister husband and family of three children emigrate to Canada The sponsorship was given But is with anyone who on an immigrant they swore they would provide and spon them for a period of five This family is now inl Canada The sponsors own their own home and have three linn of their own The has three flic occupy one bedroom their children another ai d the live thej sponsored sleeping in one bedroom the they supply beds just an empty much money was brought and as the husband had not found a job due to language barrier his money ran out The informed them that he supply them food So the family set out to bum food from their brothers and living in tic same last word were eating milk and bread the husband obtained job last week I am in no way prcdju 1 would not have married Portugese myself But my beef is that as a horn Canadian with one child I am forced to rent a two or more bedroom apart at a higher rent And yet people who are not responsible arc permitted to bring people from the old country here ami stick five people in one room Somehow this just doe not seem fair I am sure people with one or more have hid trouble find apartment I wonder also why people who arc living hand mouth themselves are permit ted to sponsor immigrants I realize must be peo pic to handle these things but where are they Why don they check up on these pcoph lo sec if they have the number of rooms food and furnish tigs I also km of people from the tioncd country who have bought three or four bedroom lows in Brampton and George town who have sponsored peo pie brought them over to and let them live with them but already have other people living with thci at the time I received tion that a bedroom considered a family dwelling unless a suits ale apartment has been prov ided for visitors or for rent mi purposes I would like to try to put the same number of people in my home and charge eck each for rent and long it takes before the board of health comes iking on my door These people in my estimation don have homes but a business lax free I feel whats good for the goose is good for the gander and if these sponsors and arc permitted to turn homes into people dwellings to take in the loot why not Canadians who rooms to do I am sure many pcoph would not fancy to do so the is If we tried It an sure there would become in vesication I would like hear if other people felt the same as do n Also in some welfare cases people are refused welfare as they are not in town long en Yet this family has got help already while in Canada only two months Some of you may be thinking that it is up to this family brothers and sisters to support them if the sponsors are not willing to give them food when theyre hungry bed Instead of floors and a blanket when they re cold So who were their you ask her brother In law and sister I have two questions to ask directed lo anyone in of these affairs and
