Ottawa to scrap controversial immigration lottery system for families
Immigration sponsorship lottery draws nearly 100k applications
Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen will announce the changes today at an event in Vancouver.
The changes, which will take effect in 2019, will replace the random selection process for sponsorship applications with a first-come-first-served application process.
The so-called lottery system drew criticism when it was introduced last year after many potential sponsors said they felt it was unfair.
