Alberta’s immigration minister says he’s concerned about the federal government’s plan this year to accept thousands of parents and grandparents of immigrants already in Canada.
Joseph Schow responded Tuesday to a federal notice that Ottawa plans to take in 10,000 applications from those who have previously expressed interest in sponsoring family members.
Schow took issue with the 10,000 figure.
In a statement, Schow said provincial health-care systems, housing and social services don’t have the capacity and could be overwhelmed.
