LS Av iy LON KORE | BRAS THE ZAR WAS Espley, Past President - Introduction. Immigration is one of the most important influences in Canadian life. It always has been. Immigration affects us culturally, socially and economically. Domestically and internationally. To ensure thatimmigration continues: to work for the good of Canada, our immigration law has undergone some sigmificant changes. And whether vou're a fifth generation citizen or just a visitor, you ought to know what's new. The changes. For the last four years, individuals and organizations have made suggestions for change to Canada's immigration law and policy. Many of the responses received have become part of the new immigration law, designed to serve evervone"s best interests for years to come. For the first time, the basic purposes and principles of our immigration law are clearly stated in the law itself. All other provisions of the law, and the way they are carried out by immigration officers, now flow from these purposes and principles: Non-discrimination. Reunion of families. Humanitarian concern for refugees. And the promotion of Canada's economic, social and cultural goals. Just words you say? Well read on, because the rest of the new law has been carefully written to make it possible for Canada to live up to its word. _ Howitaffects immigrants and § CI) visitors. From now on, immigrants and those visitors who come to work or study must make all immigration arrangements before they arrive in Canada. No one may change his | or her status while inside Canada. Canada has always allowed sponsorship of the immigration of a wide range of close relatives. With the new family ctass, Canadian citizens can now sponsor parents of any age. (Canada has always protected refugees within her borders according toa Conventionof the United Nations. This protection is now given the force of (Canadian law. In addition, a new refugee class defines the when, how and who of accepting refugees for resettlement in Canada. Civil rights of those involved in immigration proceedings receive greater protection under the new law. And deportation will no longer be the only possible penalty. There are now less drastic alternatives for minor infractions of immigration law. Immigration will ~~ not be easier, but it will be more prediet- able. Immigrants and visitors should always talk to their Canadian Govern- ment visa office before they make a move. That way, they'll know exactly where they stand when they step off the plane. How it affects Canadians. The new immigration law is a blueprint for the future. A flexible blueprint that allows for unexpected change. Its influence on the fabric of Canadian society will be subtle and long-range. Under the new law, the federal and provincial governments will share many responsi- bilities. To this end, formal agreements on immigration planning and manage- ment will be made with the Provinces. Each year, after federal-provincial discussions, a target figure for im- migration volume will be announced. The number will depend upon national, regional, economic and social goals. Immigrants will be encouraged to settle - in places where their particular skills are really needed. They will be discour- aged from settling in places where employment is a problem. Generally speaking, illegal immi- grants will find the law tougher than ever. As will those people who exploit illegal immigrants. ' The new law, of course, will continue our tradition of strong protection against international criminals and terrorists. In these ways and more, our new immigration law can only make Canada stronger. And a better place to live. The future. The future of immigration in Canada cannot be controlled by an ironclad set of rules. Canada's new immigration law combines humanity, justice, international responsibility and adapt- ability in a way that no other country's immigration law ever has. We're proud of it.
