Canadian Immigration Policy: An Analysis of the Formation of Transnational Families in Regulation 117(9)(d), Excluded Family Members of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (450)Introduction: This Canadian policy study will define the negative formation of “transnational families” in the context of Canadian immigrant regulations that prevent families of immigrants from reuniting in the country. More specifically, it is the policy of family division that is formed in Regulation 117(9)(d), Excluded Family Members that define the legal codes of policy action in Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). In this policy, the immigrant that initially applies for immigrant status in Canada must have their …show more content…

Regulation 117 can presents the ironclad resistance to family unity, which would places a barrier between the individual and his family. More so, it can limit the productivity and social integration of the workers as an effective member of workforce. In this manner, Regulation 117 is major barrier to the productivity of “skill workers” that enter Canada, but cannot bring their families with them to live in the country. In this manner, the exploiatio0n of “skilled workers” seems to be a greater priority than preserving the integrity of the immigrant’s family unit in terms of ethical and moral aspects of regulation 117 in the …show more content…

This aspect of immigrant policy in Canada is directly related to the underlying motive to allow “skilled laborers” into the country, which has a major effect on the Canadian economy. The economy provides an important “stepping stone” for encouraging migration to Canada, which can only be hennaed by allowing the immigrant’s family members to join him or her at a later time if they choose to do so. This would modify Regulation 117 to allow posthumous applications of family members to join their relatives in Canada as a form of economic incentive for greater social and psychological stability of the immigrant worker. This aspect of the transnational family would slowly become obsolete, especially in the context of improving Canada’s overall labor markets and productivity. In addition to family unity as a human rights, the Canadian government can utilize a more objective view of the immigrant labor markets as a vehicle to reunify immigrant families in the country. These are important resolutions to the problem of Regulation 117 that can devolve the negative impact of the transnational family under the

  • Mavis Baker Case Summary

    606 Words  | 3 Pages

    The principles of the best interest of the child in Canadian immigration proceedings are reinforced in the case of Baker v. Canada. When Mavis Baker’s application for permanent residence was refused, and she received a deportation order, she proceeded with a judicial review of her application (Baker v. Canada, 1999). The findings at the conclusion of this case have direct implications for the assessment of permanent residence applications under the humanitarian and compassionate category, and the considerations of the best interests of the child. As stated in s. 25(1) of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, a child whose interests will be directly affected must be taken in to account during the assessment of a humanitarian and compassionate application (Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, 2016). Baker v. Canada further reinforces these principles as the Federal Court of Appeal determined that the best interests of Mavis Baker’s children needed to be considered in order for the ruling to be fair, and that “the decision maker should consider children’s best interests as an important factor, give them substantial weight, and be alert, alive and sensitive to them” (Baker v. Canada, 1999, para.

  • Summary Of Canada's Immigration System Is No Kinder

    For migrants, family reunification and spousal sponsorship is fundamental to successfully building this legacy; unification of grandparents, spouses, and children are both important emotional and financial support, but also important pieces of a migrant’s culture and heritage. As such, family unification supports multiculturalism and is “a strategy for migrant integration, rather than isolation” (Reitz, 2012). In his article “Canada’s Immigration System Is No Kinder than America’s”, Khan argues the mounting financial and systemic barriers to family reunification is grounded in the increased immigration opportunity via the Temporary Foreign Worker program and subsequent reduction of Family or Economic (high skilled work) opportunities, as TFW programs do not permit spousal sponsorship or family reunification in Canada. “[Spousal reunification] only accounted for 28 per cent of migrants” in the 2017 year (Khan, 2017), and this is not just a benign consequence of the TFW program; Canada has implemented a series of bureaucratic hurdles such as the Case Processing Center, the Case Intake Office, and Case Processing Pilot whose primary purpose is to review, exclude and discourage family sponsorship and reunification in the Economic and Refugee classes (Satzewich, 2014). In his article “The Distinctiveness of Canadian Immigration Experience”
