Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sure. One of the things I want to mention is that when people come here to Canada and they're sponsored, they go through various testing, especially medical tests. The majority that I have seen.... Many of the people being sponsored are very healthy. If anything, their health deteriorates abroad.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Good afternoon, and thank you very much to this committee for inviting me here today. Reuniting families is a key objective of Canada's immigration system. The family reunification program has very positive aspects about it, but there's always room for improvement. The information I will be providing today is based on my 10-year's work experience, working on the front lines, working one-on-one with clients, working with individuals and families, recent immigrants as well as Canadian citizens, looking to reunite with their families here in Canada.
