Immigrate To Canada: Immigration Minister Jason Kenney

Investor Class Dept: Canada imposed sanctions last November, freezing all financial transactions with the Middle East state in an attempt to put pressure on the Iranian regime. But those sanctions effectively shelved the applications of Iranian nationals trying to immigrate to Canada under the investor class, putting those applications in limbo, according to CBC. Under Immigration Department rules, any investor-class applicant must pledge to invest $800,000 in the Canadian economy and the federal government is set to clarify how it will deal with applications for investor-class immigration to Canada from Iran, News has learned. Senior government sources say Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will issue an operational order to his officials Friday, saying they must "strictly enforce" the sanctions on Iran when dealing with investor-class applications.
