Canada has scrapped a project to centralize processing of family class visas
from India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Singapore. The Canadian
immigration department said the project would be discontinued from August 31
because it had failed.
The processing unit in Toronto will no longer accept new applications under
the family reunification clause. It would only process sponsorship
applications received by May 31.
Applications received after that date will be forwarded to the Canadian visa
posts in New Delhi and elsewhere.
"Under the project introduced in July 2000, the Immigration department had
devised new Joint Application Kit under which IndoCanadians and other
Canadians, interested in sponsoring their family, were responsible for
submitting both their sponsorship application and the Immigrant Application
Form for the relative they were sponsoring to the Case Processing Center in
Toronto simultaneously," Sidney Frank, Pilot Project Manager, said.
