I'll try to focus really quickly on some issues.
This will be “the best interests of the child” issue.
Under Citizenship and Immigration, a child can be adopted in a couple of ways: provincially, and then apply for permanent residency; or by way of citizenship, for which there's a special provision.
Are “the best interests of the child” issues different in those processes? Does the department involve itself in the best interests of the child in both cases or just in one?
