The rule that the accompanying children of Canadian immigrants should be under 19 years old has been criticized. It is reported that according to the new regulations of the Canadian Federal Immigration Department, from next year, the dependent children of all kinds of immigration applications must be under 19 years old. This new regulation is criticized as the practice of breaking up families, which will not only affect 80,000 full-time nannies and countless people waiting for family reunion, but also affect everyone who applies for permanent residence, because the immigration system is increasingly inclined to apply for short-term residence visas. Will a community alliance be launched on 1? My Canada includes my family? (My Canada includes all families), hoping to prevent this new regulation from passing legislation through large-scale publicity and political lobbying.

Avvy Go, a lawyer at the Greater Toronto Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Aid Center, said? The final result of these changes is to break up families, which is no different from the poll tax and Chinese exclusion law in history, but Prime Minister Harper has apologized for those mistakes and said that he will never do it again. ?

Rose Dekker, refugee coordinator of Burlington religious group World Renew, said that 19-year-old children are still minors and an inseparable part of the family.

The Immigration Department said that the younger immigrants arrive in Hong Kong, the more similar their educational experience will be to those born locally, and the easier it will be for them to learn the official language and adapt to Canadian culture and society.
