New Immigration. Policy Is Unveiled In Commons

By GERARD McNEIL

OTTAWA (CP)—The new im- migration policy unveiled in’ the Commons Friday is a house- cleaning job that puts the em- phasis firmly on skills, no mat- ter where they are found.

It, putsea pinch on sponsored fmmigration from southern , Eu-

, source of most, unskilted immigrants. It also closes loop- holes which have caused major headaches to the department in recent years and corrects old in- justices.

All citizens will be able to

sponsor from any country a wid- class.of relatives formerly i to. E.rr.o.p.e_and_ the Americas. Meanwhile,...the.. passage._.of families from anywhere in the werld, not just Europe, will be assisted through loans of up to $1,500 a family unit.

Permanent fesidents ‘who ar- rived as landed immigrants be- fore today will have the same sponsorship privileges as citi- gens for the next six vears. After Oct. 14, 1972, non-citizen residents will be able to sponsor dependent relatives only.

ERASES DISTINCTION

This represents some reduc- tion of the privileges of future ummigrants — before they be- come citizens—to sponsor rela- tives from Europe and the Americas but a gain for non- eitizens—seeking to sponsor rel- atives from Asia or Africa.

Unsponsored immigrants—the ones who get in on_their own merits—will remain admissible on about the same terms as at

Sponsorship._is considered a major problem only with Ital- ians, Greeks and Portuguese. The ratio of sponsored. Italians to unsponsored runs 10 to ;, the exact reverse of sponsorship figures among British immi- grants.

Immigration will remain tied to the ability -of the economy to absorb it, with department officials figuring that the em- phasis on skills will prevent sharp drops during a recession and sharp rises during prosper- ity.

About 146,000 immigrants en- tered Canada last year and the figure may rise to 200,000 in 1966, among the a in post- war times.

Canada Urges UN Caution On Rhodesia UNITED NATIONS (CP)—In- dia demanded tough action, meaning war if necessary, against Rhodesia’s white-minor-. ity regime Friday. But Canada ‘cautioned the United Nations against the use of force and urged full support of mandatory, selective’ economic sanctions: if these are invoked.

Indian delegate Bhagwat Jha Azad told the General Assem- bly’s committee on dependent territories that sanctions im- posed ‘‘against the illegal re- gime must be total and com- prehensive.”

But “while we’ advocate the imposition~ of mandatory sanc- tions, we want to make one thing. clear.

_ “We do not have great faith in sanctions. as an instrument of bringing about the downfall of the (Tan) Smith regime, which, we believe, will necessitate the use of force. We are, however, prepared to agree to-the eén- forcement of total and compre- hensive sanctions to give the British government one more chance to satisfy itself and ‘its

friends that satiesions will not work.”’
