《1978年移民条例》，修正案（SOR/88 - 537），1988年10月17日。 - Suppr

Annu Rev Popul Law. 1988;15:181.

This amendment gives permanent residents who have completed three years' residence in Canada the same right as Canadian citizens to sponsor the immigration of their parents as family class members. Previously such a resident could sponsor a parent only if the parent was over 60 years old, infirm, or widowed.

这项修正案赋予在加拿大居住满三年的永久居民与加拿大公民同等的权利，可作为家庭类成员担保其父母移民。此前，此类居民只有在其父母年满60岁、体弱或丧偶的情况下，才能担保父母移民。
