And, as a result, a lot of 'people suffer from believing them. The fact is, the most reliable information comes from us. In other countries, we’re in Canadian Government visa offices. Here at home, it’s your Canada Immigration Centre. If you know someone who’ll have to pass through Canadian Immigration in the near future, you’d be doing them a favour by pointing them in our direc­ tion. Especially now that there’s a new immigration law. Now, the new law doesn’t mean a lot of changes for the average immigrant or visitor. Here, nevertheless, are a few things that might affect you or someone you know. From now on, immigrants and those visitors who come here to work or study must make all immigration arrangements before arriving in Canada. No one may change his or her status while inside Canada. Remember that money can’t buy your way into Canada. All the help you need is free at any Canadian Government visa office or Canada Immigration Centre. Canadian immigration officers do not discriminate on the grounds of colour, race or religion. Ever. A new adjudication system gives greater protection to the civil rights of people involved in 0 immigration proceeding's. And deportation will no longer be the only possible penalty. There are now less drastic alternatives for minor infractions of immigration law. The new law does not make immigration easier, but it does make it more pre­ dictable. If you need to know more, ask at a Canada Immigration Centre. If you know someone1 abroad who needs information, tell them to contact their Canadian Government visa office before they make a move.That way, they’ll know exactly where they stand whefi they step oil Ike plane.■ Employment and I ” Immigration Canada Bud Cullen, Minister Emploi et Immigration Canada Times-Advpcate, June 15, 1978 SALAD SEAFOOD president in the chair.
