Bush Administration Continuing To Chip Away At Sanctions --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "J.

President Bush "did not intend to disrupt normal civilian commercial relations" when he barred military exports to China last spring, and officials are reviewing the sanctions with that in mind, White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater said Tuesday. The news from the White House brought condemnation from Rep. Sam Gejdenson, D-Conn., chairman of House Foreign Policy subcommittee on international economic policy and trade. He said the idea of lifting the sanction on satellites "makes no sense whatsoever." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Nancy Pelosi Vowed To Marshal Votes For Congress To Override Bush's Veto --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "J. Ding" <IZZYQ00@UCLAMVS.BITNET> Source: WASHINGTON (UPI) December 12, 1989 [BY: GORMAN, STEVEN J.] Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., vowed Tuesday to marshal the votes needed for Congress to override President Bush's veto of her bill to permit Chinese students to stay in the United States after their visas expire. Pelosi suggested Tuesday that Bush vetoed the bill as a concession to the Beijing government in paving the way for last weekend's surprise mission to China by national security adviser Brent Scowcroft and Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger. "The president wanted to create favorable conditions for the trip and did so at the expense of the students," Pelosi said in a statement issued at a Capitol Hill news conference. The California congresswoman said she learned from administration officials that Scowcroft had been the only high-ranking White House official who urged Bush to veto the bill. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Executive Editor: Yaxiong Lin E_mail: aoyxl@asuacvax.bitnet | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ========================================================================== News Transmission chi@vlsi.uwaterloo.ca (or) -------------------- --------------------- Local Editor: Bo Chi chi@vlsi.waterloo.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 14 11:33:53 EST 1989

The Latest Situation towards Family Reunion ......................... 55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Legal Consulting about "Family Reunion" __ S.A.G. (Dec.12, 1989) ------------------------------------------------------------ FCSSC == Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars, Canada == Quan Jia Xue Lian (2,1,2,2) (in Chinese) S.A.G == Student Affairs Group of FCSSC -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following message is obtained through a phone conversation between Mr. Dennis Lu (vice president of the FCSSC.) and Gary Yee, Immigration Lawyer in Toronto, he is also the president of the CCNC. 1. According to the normal procedures, ONLY after one person has been finally approved as a PR, his or her spouses and children can be issued a Minister permit by Canadian Embassy to come to Canada. 2. However, for Chinese people, according to the NEW GUIDLINES, "minister permit" for family members sponsored by PR applicants could be simplified. 3. Since June, about 4400 people in China have applied for ELS ( English Language Students). But, about 60% of them has been turned down. So, it is DEFINITELY not a good way for your spouses to apply for ELS. 4. Technically, there is one thing we have all ignored that your spouse should not apply for a Visitor's visa if you have applied PR in Canada. Instead she or he should apply for MINISTER PER- MIT. And it is her or his responsibility to explain the inter- viewer that he/she are urgent to leave and will face the danger otherwise. The spouse should also clearly tell the officer that you have obtained the AIP (approved in Principle) for PR in Canada, rather to say no or not sure. 5. From information posted in ND before, the intention of Cana- dian government towards family reunion has not changed. But, the procedure may have. This is more up to the Canadian Embassy. 6. Just some advices to you: a) go to your local immigration officer and ask him(/her) to help you to send a "No Objection to issue MINISTER PERMIT" telegram to Canadian Embassy in Beijing. This is also confirming your AIP status which is very important. The Canadian Embassy is just too busy to check this themselves which is a important step in your spouse's application. b) do everything quitely and carefully by individual. The SAG will keep informing you any news or changes whenever there are. Good luck! Student Affair Group.

About Family Reunion from Winnipeg ................................ 98
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFORMATION FROM CIC IN WINNIPEG
>From LU@ccm.UManitoba.CA Thu Dec 14 15:41 EST 1989
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! I hereby bravely report you the information we got from CIC in
Winnipeg. Local CSSA arranged a seminar offered by the Manger and the
Supervisor of local CIC, which I think is successful. The important
points are as follows,
(1) They are willing to help the Chinese students on the family
reunion issue.
(2) At the present situation, most PR applicants have gotten proved
in principle. Therefore their family member obviously will not
come to CANADA just for TEMPORARY VISIT. And therefore the
Canadian Embassy will not issue visitor visa to them. To the
staff in Immigration, they do not like to wast time and
energy to deal with that.
(3) However, family reunion is still prior in their business. The
proper way is to apply immigration. As long as they pass
MEDICAL EXAMINATION, the Canadian Embassy will issue THE
MINISTER PERMISSION. And they could enter Canada right away.
(ATT: It doesn't mean they have to complete the immigration
before they enter Canada. ie, they enter Canada then
complete the IMM procedure. This kind offer should be
safe to the Chinese student as well as their family
members.)
(4) Since the applicant for enter Canada has been tremendously
increased. It will take 3-4 monthes to complete Medical
Examination procedure and get reply from IMM. Therefore one'd
better not to wast time to apply visitor visa.
(5) They appeal the Chinese students to co-operate with them. And
they are willing to help Chinese students as they can. In
Winnipeg, CIC will provide a simple form for that purpose.
People who wants to get his/her family member to Canada should
fill the form, provide
* THE FILE NUMBER WHEN APPLY PR
* FAMILY MEMBER'S NAME (CHINESE, ENGLISH)
ADDRESS (CHINESE, ENGLISH)
POST CODE
RELATION
No appointment and other references needed.
They will use diplomatic shipping or fax to Beijing. NO CHINESE
EMPLOYEE COULD SEE those document. Namely it's safe.
(6) The manager release the following number in Winnipeg:
APPLICANT: 196
APPROVED IN PRINCIPLE: 185
TO BE DECIDED IN OTTAWA: 10
REJECT: 1
He emphasizes THIS IS A VERY GOOD ACCEPTANCE RATE IN THE WORLD.
(7) The above is the way the Canadian Immigration deal with the
family reunion for the Chinese student. So far they didn't
find any evidence that any student's family member face
DANGER due to rejection of applying visitor visa or any danger
due to given application form for immigration, etc.
(8) For people come to Canada after June 4th, they have to PROVIDE
EVIDENCE to show they join the pro-democracy movement in China.
Otherwise the immigration officer may not see you PR
application meets the requirement. BECAUSE, THE SPECIAL PROGRAM
FOR CHINESE STUDENTS TO APPLY PR IN CANADA IS BASED ON THE
FACT OF JUNE 4TH AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT MOST CHINESE STUDENTS
JOIN THE PRO-DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT IN CANADA, AS STATED BY THE
CHINESE GOVERNMENT IN JUNE.
The above are, I think, the important points we got last night from
the local CIC. Besides, I would like to put some comments.
To the Chinese student, the Canadian government is the best one
in the world. We should co-operate with them on the family
reunion issue rather than COMPLAIN.
