Immigration Minister J.A, Glen today announced that Canada is preparing to open immigration offices in Europe in preparation for future immigration to this country. The statement was made during a Parliamentary debate on the immigration question.

Glen revealed that Canada has already admitted 4,000 refugees and that more would be admitted when the United Nations takes action on the refugee problem next month. However, he added that it will be necessary to exercise some discrimination, if a “selective” immigration policy is to be enforced.
