Muslim-Majority Countries: Immigration Critic and Residency Status

muslim-majority countries: Kwan said she wants the House of Commons to address the issue as its first order of business when MPs return to Ottawa on Monday, when all things Trump including the impact his policies could have on Canadian jobs and economic trade are expected to dominate discussions and political arguments, according to Hamilton Spectator. She said she wants to know how the temporary American ban on people coming from seven Muslim-majority countries and the indefinite halt to the Syrian refugee program will affect Canadians, including those with permanent residency status, and what the Liberal government plans to do about it. Canadians across the country are deeply concerned, said NDP MP Jenny Kwan, the immigration critic for her party. I think the implications could be far-reaching, she said. Kwan said many questions remain about whether they will be subject to additional screening and delays and whether Canada will take in a greater number of refugees. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday night the Trump administration through National Security Adviser Michael Flynn told them the ban will not affect those who hold Canadian passports, including dual citizens.
