The CSSR recognizes strength in diversity during the recent U.S. Executive Order

The CSSR also expresses its deep concern over the recent executive order issued in the United States banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the country for 90 days, as well as those carrying green cards (legal residents of the US). It is with pride that we recognize the strengths offered by diversity, within our membership and beyond.

Dual Canadian citizen passport holders are also in uncertain circumstances regarding the executive order, with conflicts in the information provided by Canadian and U.S. authorities – see https://news.vice.com/story/somali-canadian-forced-off-flight-from-toronto-to-paris-because-his-planes-route-was-through-u-s-airspace).
