Moratorium on family reunification Filipino community leader Fred DeVilla says the new super visa sets up many roadblocks that prevent immigrants from bringing parents and grandparents for a visit. "There are so many, so many requirements, you're prevented from coming in. And you have to have a lot of money," said Fred DeVilla, who works in the insurance industry and is a prominent member of the Filipino community. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
