Ethnic communities urge IRCC to introduce similar opportunities as offered to Hong Kong
Following the introduction of the wide opportunities for residents of Hong Kong to obtain permanent or temporary residence in Canada amidst the pandemic, activists from other ethnic communities urge the government to develop similar immigration pathways for citizens of Latin American countries who are also in dangerous situations. For instance, around four million Venezuelans are displaced throughout South and Central America, and they should be given the opportunity to be brought in by the Canadian government or private sponsors. Latino communities call to follow the example of the Chinese community to lobby and pressure the government to create these programs and alleviate the suffering of people.
