May 30, 2019 – Canada's federal government awarded 70 places under the Parents and Grandparents Program to settle two lawsuits that said the online application system was unfair, a report says.
The settlement made in secret saw members of the lawsuits allowed to sponsor their parents and/or grandparents to immigrate to Canada, according to a CBC News report.
The lawsuits are understood to have included a non-disclosure agreement, meaning those concerned are not allowed to divulge details.
Cases were filed in both Toronto and Vancouver.
