542946 IMMIGRATION EX-LOTTERY
The US Green Card Lottery Service gives 50,000 people around the world the chance to live and work legally in that country every year. Canada offers no such program. Neither dœs the webside canadianimmigrationlottery.com. Still if you google the words "immigration lottery Canada" and you will find at the top of the list "CIFA": the Canadian Immigration Financial Assistance Program. The website offers full immigration consulting services to anyone feeling lucky - and with 100$. to spend. There is one winner every day. It is technically legal. But it is leading to false hopes for people desperate for a fast-track into Canada. Host Marc Montgomery spoke with Michael Friscolanti, the Macleans magazine journalist who exposed the story. If you have any stories about experiences with immigration consultants, let us know : thelink@rcinet.ca.

Stephen Harper also said it was Canada’s mission. He also called it the biggest test because the UN’s collective will and credibility are being judged.
