Canada Opens Door to U S Military Deserters
Ottawa announced that U S service members who desert may enter Canada and, if eligible, stay and apply for landed immigrant status. Immigration Minister Allan J. MacEachen said entry rules would follow standard criteria, denying no deserter, with 72 identified cases allowed to stay in past 13 months and 19 rejected for formalities. The policy reflects broad Canadian sentiment toward the Vietnam War and draft resistance.
