Resolution number
3
Whereas
- The government is introducing multiple entry visas of up to 10 years to allow parents and grandparents to visit family here as a way to address long family separations caused by processing delays;
- The visitors are required to purchase medical insurance in order to qualify for the visa;
- Canada imposes visa requirements only on some countries, mostly in the global south and those with a majority racialized population;
- Racialized Canadians are over-represented among those who would be most affected;
Therefore be it resolved
that the CCR demand that the government of Canada remove proof of purchase of medical insurance on the multiple ten year visas for parents and grandparents.
