VIETNAMESE REFUGEES : CANADIAN OFFTAKE
THE CANADIAN IMMIGRATION COUNSELLOR HAS INFORMED US THAT HIS GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED ON AN OFFTAKE OF 500 FOR NEXT YEAR. WE ASKED WHETHER, AS BEFORE, A FURTHER ADDITIONAL OFFTAKE COULD BE EXPECTED. HE SAID THAT THIS WOULD DEPEND ON WHETHER HMG RENEWED ITS OFFTAKE. WE PRESSED HIM ON THIS LINKAGE AND HE SAID THAT 300 RESETTLEMENT PLACES OUT OF THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL INTAKE WERE HELD IN RESERVE. HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT THESE 300 PLACES WOULD
COME TO HONG KONG IF HMG GAVE A LEAD.
