e-430 (Immigration)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- The previous Conservative government decreased the maximum age of dependent immigrant and refugee children to under 19 years of age;
- This change undermines family reunification, which is highlighted in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and includes the following: "to support the self-sufficiency and the social and economic well-being of refugees by facilitating reunification with their family members in Canada";
- The current Liberal government campaigned upon a promise to repeal this age to under 22.
