The Canadian government says they are looking for a way to fast track immigration into Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper stated that he is trying to find ways to ease immigration and refugee rules to allow Haitians to live in Canada quicker. The first three air transports arrive in Montreal from Haiti Friday morning carrying over 220 passengers. As the situation in Haiti continually falls downhill the government is looking at a plan to allow Haitians with Canadian relatives to come to Canada as well. Is this the right move?
I don't think that this is not fair. I think that immigration rules should apply to all and that you can’t just "fast track" the rules and make exceptions. Immigration is suppose to strengthen Canada and how does allowing all these people into our country do that? We have to get information about these people and find out will they be able to benefit Canada? Also if we lower the immigration rules now for Haiti then others might expect the same thing in the future.
