Hello All,
I found below text from Canada website. can someone tell whoever did not declare their immediate family member can sponsor them from September 9th?
As of September 9, 2019, we will launch a 2-year pilot project where a person (resettled refugee, was conferred refugee protection in Canada or were themselves sponsored as a spouse, partner or dependent child) who came to Canada can now sponsor undeclared immediate family members.
The Government is committed to protecting vulnerable people so they can leave abusive work or family relationships, or reunite with immediate family members.
Quotes
“Newcomers who failed to declare immediate family members as they first came to Canada were barred from sponsoring them. Today, we right that wrong. No worker should fear losing their job when they are being mistreated in their place of work. No partner should be more fearful of losing their immigration status instead of escaping abuse. Today, we say, fear no more.”
– The Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
