Chinese woman’s father with hepatitis was refused immigration through family reunification

Chinese woman in Toronto applied for family reunification immigration for her father but unexpectedly, her father was diagnosed with hepatitis.

The applicant was unable to forfeit public health care services at her own expense, so her application was rejected. She appealed to the rejection, the court rejected her appeal after in-depth consideration as the father had family support in China, and he could get good medical care there.

Therefore, there was no reason to give humanitarian and compassionate help to the father.

New immigrants to Canada are dissatisfied with the housing costs

According to newly released data, many new immigrants in Canada are facing housing problems, and nearly 40% of new immigrants are completely dissatisfied with their housing.

Many people have the inherent impression that new immigrants will come to Canada with a lot of money to buy a house, but this is not the case.

With so many new immigrants with core housing needs, they are naturally dissatisfied with the Canadian housing market.

Statistics Canada found that new immigrants and minorities have very low satisfaction with their housing. In 2018, only 63% of new immigrants said they were satisfied.

Canada started to implement the new border and travel measures

Starting from December 1, 2021, new vaccination requirements for air, rail, and marine travellers to limit the risk of spreading COVID-19

will come into effective and all travellers using Canada's federally-regulated modes of transportation will have to demonstrate that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The new requirements are applicable to the federally regulated transportation sector that includes VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains, Canada’s all airports, and passenger vessels engaged in voyages of 24 hours or more.

Those travelling by road transportation, such as buses, are not subject to this policy.
