Calgary's Hong Kong Community Rallies for Faster Immigration Processing
Calgary's Hong Kong community held a rally on Saturday to urge the federal government to accelerate the immigration process, which they say has a significant backlog. Demonstrators gathered to voice their concerns and call for expedited processing of applications.
The event, organized by local community leaders, drew attention to the delays faced by many families waiting to reunite or secure permanent residency. Speakers highlighted the emotional and financial toll of prolonged waiting periods.
Video footage from the rally showed participants holding signs and chanting slogans demanding action. The demonstration is part of broader efforts by diaspora communities across Canada to push for immigration system reforms.
This rally comes amid ongoing discussions about Canada's immigration targets and processing capacities. The federal government has previously acknowledged backlogs and announced measures to improve efficiency, but community members say more needs to be done.
