 CLE: Analysis: Immigration Law Update 2005
The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration also announced that Canada will adopt a less rigid approach in the issuance of multiple-entry visitor visas to parents and grandparents who wish to visit Canada while their applications for permanent residence are processed.
The Minister argued that external factors should not be considered and only the extent of the medical inadmissibility should be assessed in determining whether or not a family should be permitted to immigrate to Canada.

 Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Tobiass
Third, Canada’s interest in not giving shelter to those who concealed their wartime participation in acts of atrocities outweighs any foreseeable harm that might be done to the appellants or to the integrity of the system by proceeding with the cases.
The purpose of these notices was to inform the appellants that the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (“the Minister”) intended to seek revocation of their Canadian citizenship on the ground that they had obtained it by failing to divulge to Canadian officials details of their involvement in atrocities committed during the Second World War.
It is arguable that a decision denying a stay of proceedings is “related” to the question of whether citizenship was obtained by false pretences insofar as it has the effect of allowing the inquiry on the merits to proceed.

The Minister appealed, and respondent cross-appealed, challenging (1) the Motion Judge’s conclusion that the Minister’s reference to the Trial Division was not subject to prescription; and (2) this Court’s jurisdiction in view of Citizenship Act, subsection 18(3) (which prohibits appeals from decisions in connection with a reference made pursuant to subsection 18(1) of the Act).
Quite apart from the presumption in subsection 10(2), the Governor in Council may withdraw citizenship from someone when he or she is persuaded that the person has acquired it by false representation or fraud or by deliberate concealment of material circumstances.
When the Minister is informed of grounds that may justify a report to the Governor in Council, he must notify the person in respect of whom he intends to write a report to the Governor in Council.

 Canada ( Minister of Citizenship and Immigration ) v. Katriuk
Section 18 contemplates that the Minister is required to give notice to the citizen if the citizenship is to be revoked, that she intends to make a report to the Governor-in-council that the person has obtained citizenship under the Act by false representations or fraud or by knowingly concealing material circumstances.
The lawfulness of the admission to Canada is a condition precedent of the acquisition of Canadian citizenship.
Because of the limitation of transport, the government decided that, as respects immigration from Europe, the emphasis for the present should be on the admission of the relatives of persons who are already in Canada, and on assisting in the resettlement of displaced persons and refugees.

 OCASI: OCASI writes to Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
Canada has consistently depended on the labour of immigrants both with and without regular immigration status.
The presence of non-status immigrants in Canada is a problem that we have created, through introducing immigration laws and policies that bear little relation to this country's current labour needs, and that have ignored the humanitarian principles on which our refugee protection system is founded.
We believe that it is time to review current immigration legislation and policies, and to develop a process that would allow for the regularization of non-status immigrants.

Additionally, the Minister is proposing to amend the IRP transition regulations to allow for all skilled worker and business immigration applicants who applied before January 01, 2002 to be assessed under the selection criteria of the former Immigration Act.
The courts have determined that, while they are legal, the transition provisions between the Immigration Act and IRPA are not as fair to applicants who applied before January 1, 2002 as the government had believed.
For that reason, Minister Denis Coderre is proposing to amend the transition regulations to allow economic class applicants (skilled workers and business immigrants) who filed their applications for permanent residence before January 1, 2002 to be assessed under the former Immigration Act (and then under IRPA if refused under the former Act).

 Canada ( Minister of Citizenship and Immigration ) v. Katriuk
Since 1995, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice have been Alan Rock and Anne McLellan, the Solicitor General, responsible for the RCMP, have been Herb Gray, Andy Scott, and Lawrence MacAulay and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration have been Sergio Marchi, Lucienne Robillard and Elinor Caplan.
Citizenship is too precious to be gambled on a subjective "balance of probabilities" decision of a single judge.
We conclude that the term "collaborator" is not a suitable criterion for immigration purposes and should not be an issue in the d/d show trials being staged by Anne McLellan and her minions.
