Mario Bellissimo was recently interviewed by CBC News regarding Conrad Black’s  potential return to Canada.  There was discussion  regarding the implications of his criminality and potential legal strategy  including an application for a resumption of citizenship.

Mario D. Bellissimo and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney speak in recent Global TV expose on the proposed refugee reforms:

From ListenUp TV: Immigrants. They leave home – and often family – and all that’s familiar to start over in a new land. Canada has been built on them. Still is. Twenty years from now, it’s projected that one quarter of all people in this country will be foreign born. More than three-quarters will have a mother tongue that is neither English nor French. With immigration levels at historic highs, how is Canada treating its newcomers?

Private Sponsorship of Refugees

Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney is meeting with community groups across the country and encouraging them to sponsor refugees to come to Canada.

Groups who choose to sponsor refugees commit to providing assistance for one year or until the refugees can support themselves financially. Although the assistance includes physical needs such as accommodation and food, it also goes beyond that to include emotional support as well.

Through the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program, Canada has welcomed over 200,000 refugees from all over the world.

This Week’s Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

Establishing Paternity

Q: I sponsored my husband as a fiancee back in 2000.  We married the following year and he is now a Canadian citizen.  Before he left Jamaica, his ex-girlfriend had a child and he added his name on the birth certificate.  There was a lot of confusion about the paternity and she did not provide a blood test for DNA testing. As a result the child was not included on his sponsorship papers.  We would now like to sponsor her as we believe she is his and she is not living in good conditions.
