On March 26, the MMP released a policy brief on the Conditional Permanent Residence impacting sponsored spouses and partners who entered Canada as of October 2012.

In March and April, the MMP hosted community forums in Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto for the Sponsored Spouses Study and Caregivers’ Journeys Study to engage and consult with educators, front-line workers, lawyers and community organizers on the challenges faced by temporary foreign workers andsponsored spouses/partners withconditional permanent residence.

In January, the MMP Research Advisory Committee Co-Chairs, Harmy Mendoza and Marichu Antonio, emailed Minister John McCallum (Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada), Arif Virani (Parliamentary Secretary, IRCC), and Minister Patty Hajdu (Minister of Status of Women) a policy brief and letter to express concerns regarding the consequences that the conditional aspect of the permanent residence policy has on women, especially those in abusive relationships.

The policy brief highlights the disproportion among countries receiving the condition, the alarming processing times for sponsorship applications, and how disproportionately women are affected by this policy.

In January, a Policy Brief was submitted by Rupaleem Bhuyan and Rene Bogovic to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on Spousal sponsorship and conditional permanent residence. It presented research on racial and gendered effects of conditional permanent residence (Conditional PR) and related policies that impact immigrants who are sponsored by their spouses or partners to immigrate to Canada. See here for the full policy brief.
