Portugal's Minister of State and Foreign Affairs says Canada is considering establishing a program that would allow illegal immigrants working in Canada's booming residential construction industry to stay here.
Diogo Freitas do Amaral told reporters gathered at the Portuguese Consulate in Toronto Friday night that he proposed the idea to Canada's Immigration Minister Monte Solberg during a visit to Ottawa late last week. He said it was warmly received.
"The minister said the idea was considered reasonable and that it would be studied," said Freitas do Amaral in Portuguese. "They said they would seek solutions ... Also we suggested that in cases where the Portuguese have had children here they should not be deported. They said they would consider it."
