Online immigrant-sponsor application discriminatory, immigration lawyers say

OTTAWA — A new first-come-first-served online application for immigrants seeking to sponsor their parents and grandparents to come to Canada is being condemned as "profoundly discriminatory" after the program opened and closed in less than 10 minutes on Monday.

Toronto-based immigration lawyer Clifford McCarten is among many now raising concern about the fairness of access to the program, as only those with reliable Internet access, quick typing skills and good understanding of English or French would have had any hope of success.
