Canadians Create National Campaign to Fight for Regularization of Non-Status Immigrants
By Maria Luisa Grimaldi
CANADA: The Hispanic Development Council, an umbrella organization of Toronto’s community organizations, has joined the campaign “Status Now” — a defense for people without (legal) immigration status.
Through this campaign, the Council joins the collective effort of the different ethnic communities of immigrants, in support of the members of our Hispanic community to work together in the creation of programs that respond to the needs of the community.
This campaign formed in June 2007 in support of the motion filed in the name of the Standing Committee on Immigration to put in place an immediate moratorium on deportations of persons and families who have no immigration status.
