Description
Canada has long been considered a multicultural, welcoming, and tolerant society. But recently, academics, journalists, and policy analysts have called into question several aspects of the country's current immigration policy. One of the most controversial and lesser-known aspects of said policy is Citizenship and Immigration Canada's spousal sponsorship programme. The implementation, contradictions, and consequences of this programme are thoroughly documented in this research-based book.
“Thou Shalt Not Marry A Foreigner” describes the experiences of Canadian citizens who have chosen to live in Canada with their foreign spouses or partners. Through interviews and comments made in online forums, dozens of Canadians reveal every aspect of their dealings with bureaucrats and the wide-ranging effects that immigration policy has on their everyday lives. Ever heard of opaque transparency? What about consistent inconsistency? These are just some of the issues exposed in this book.
Be prepared to read through blunt comments and shocking revelations, which are interwoven with the author's critical voice and ironic tone. “Thou Shalt Not Marry A Foreigner” is an interesting experiment in “light sociology” and a must read for anyone who wants to gain a clearer and more realistic understanding of Canada's current immigration policy.
