Canada Promised for Receiving Hong Kong teenagers, but two Large Opposition Parties Call on Trudeau to Do More

However, the new policies are mainly targeting at students, disappointing many Canadian opposition lawmakers who have been running around for Hongkongers. New Democratic Party member of Parliament Jenny Kwan described that the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau was slow to respond, and the new policies are not favourable to Hongkongers who intend to apply for refugees. The opposition Conservative Party member Raquel Dancho requested the government that they should sanction the Chinese and Hong Kong officials who harm the Hong Kong human rights.
Canada introduced āresettlement policy for Hongkongersā on last Thursday (12th November), the Hong Kong teenagers who graduated in universities in the past five years can apply for a three-years Canada working visa. Teenagers only require to work for a year and to pass the language test for permanent residency application. However, there is no specific implementation date or timetable yet.
Jenny Kwan, a New Democratic Party Member who born in Hong Kong and migrated to Canada when she was 9, said that after the abolishment of opposition members of Hong Kong Legislative Council, the situation in Hong Kong has deteriorated. However, Trudeau only āannouncedā the policies launch five months after promising to help Hongkongers that the response was slow and felt very disappointed with that. āThe implementation of the plan, which mainly focuses on helping students, will have to wait until next year. The Immigration Minister did not provide details nor mention whether the plan will help the teenagers who have been prosecuted by the National Security Lawā.
