Financial \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsubsidies are paid to immigrants when they voluntarily agree to renounce an \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tasylum procedure and return to their homeland. From the perspective of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timmigration lawyers, this practice is not without problems, as asylum applicants \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tare \u00a0encouraged to give up their \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trights in return for financial incentives: <em>\u201cUnder \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Program, unsuccessful refugee \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclaimants who agree to abandon the appeal process are given airfare home, which \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ton average costs $1,500, and \u201cin-kind reintegration assistance\u201d to a maximum of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$2,000. [\u2026] Immigration lawyers question how voluntary the program \u2013 targeted \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tat people who are often extremely poor, worried about incarceration or \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdeportation and may be unfamiliar with Canada\u2019s refugee appeal system \u2013 really \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tis. \u201cThe more appeal rights you give up, the more money you get,\u201d says \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timmigration lawyer Max Berger. [\u2026] \u201cEssentially, it\u2019s a bribe. The Government \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof Canada is offering refugee claimants money, which is tied to them forgoing \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir appeal rights.\u201d <\/em>In addition, Cain\u2019s article discusses the fate of a Rroma \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfamily from Slovakia. The father portrayed points out on his ill-treatment and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdiscrimination in his home country. He wanted to spare his two young sons such \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texperiences through emigration to Canada. For five years, the young family man has \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbeen living there with his children and his wife. However, the personal \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texperiences of discrimination have little impact compared to the official estimates \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof the authorities. Rroma are not politically persecuted in Europe. However, that \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdoes not mean that they do not experience discrimination in everyday life, in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe education system and the labour market. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cain, Patrick (2014) Canada pays thousands of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoma to abandon refugee appeals, leave country.
