Ayon De, his son Aabir De and his mother Shikha De, pose for a photo May 30, at their Whitby home.Immigrants who came to Canada with the hope that their parents or grandparents could one day join them say they feel cheated after the federal government opened a sponsorship lottery this month drawing from a four-year-old list of applicants.
The invitations are drawn from a list of 200,000 people who expressed an interest in sponsoring their relatives in 2020. She said many parents and grandparents, sponsored by their families, contribute to the Canadian economy including by looking after grandchildren, so their children can work. “We’re working hard to strengthen and improve the program, while continuing to reunite as many families as possible,” she said.
Ayon De, a management consultant who came to Canada in 2018 after working in the United States, wanted to bring his elderly parents from. He didn’t apply in 2020 because having recently moved here, he thought he did not have the qualifying income. He had hoped to apply for the promised lottery in 2021 but it was cancelled by the government.
