Canada and the United States sign visa and immigration information-sharing agreement
On December 13, 2012, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney and United States Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson signed the U.S.-Canada Visa and Immigration Information-Sharing Agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement authorizes development of arrangements under which one country may send an automated request for data to the other country, such as when a third country national applies to Canada for a visa or claims asylum.
