加拿大移民部长麦卡伦星期三（12月7日）在安大略省布兰普敦市宣布，移民的配偶、伴侣和孩子申请来加拿大团聚，平均等待时间将从目前的两年降到12个月。

而CIC网站关于团聚移民的页面，重点提示了（缩短到12个月以内）：

不知是因为记者疏忽还是麦卡伦有意为之，他似乎没有提到移民父母团聚。

CBC记者Kathleen Harris报道说，明年将有64000名移民配偶通过申请团聚来到加拿大。麦卡伦表示，这不仅对等待团圆的移民有好处，也对所有加拿大人有好处。因为和家人在一起的移民比远离家人的移民更有活力和创造力。

麦卡伦强调说，加快审批程序不等于潦草行事，安全检查和体检将照旧进行，移民部官员也将和过去一样警惕假结婚。加快审批程序将主要靠增加人力和提高系统效率。
