e-2390 (Citizenship and immigration)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Canada is a country that embraces every individual and their values regardless of their creed, age, sex, and ethnicity;
- Canada has been embracing asylum seekers, students and foreign workers through the Provincial Nominee Program;
- For residents of Canada, whose family member(s) are living in another country, it is very difficult for those Canadians to focus on their career, wealth and health;
- They send a portion of their income out of Canada to support their family members overseas;
- Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) currently allows spouse and parents to be sponsored under the family sponsorship program and it should also allow for sibling(s) and their dependent(s) under the same program;
- This would not be a burden on the Canadian economy, since the sponsor would be financially responsible for the person being sponsored; and
- In fact, this program will boost the Canadian economy as most sponsored individuals would bring their money to Canada from overseas and it will help entrepreneur and like mind individuals to immigrate to Canada, which in return will create employment.
