Annoyed potential immigrants are planning to sue the Canadian
government after Ottawa canceled the so-called ‘millionaire visa’ program,
which had allowed tens of thousands of well-off foreigners to gain fast-track
visa entry, according to reports monitored by RT.
The scheme was temporarily frozen in 2012 due to a backlog of
paperwork; however, the Canadian government announced in February that it was
going to scrap the programme permanently.
"This was not a programme that was generating jobs,
growth, opportunity in Canada and it was certainly not a programme that was
getting the immigrant investors we wanted," said Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander
to CBS.
