Canada’s immigration policy is a threefold combination of selection on the basis of immigrant’s value to the Dominion’s economy, plus implementation of the principle of family reunification and the humanitarian viewpoint, wherein the displaced and uprooted are given special consideration, Dr. Joseph Kage, national executive director of the Jewish Immigrant Aid Service of Canada declared here. Hemade his report at the organization’s annual meeting.
Reporting on the JIAS services in the past year, Dr. Kage said there were 12, 000 inquiries and requests for assistance regarding immigration matters, 1, 687 were given guidance and reception facilities of the JIAS social service department, and 310 applicants were aided to get their Canadian citizenship. The organization’s location service received 514 inquiries, and 1, 210 students registered in the JIAS citizenship school.
