Globe Article: Hundreds protest Canadian immigration laws

The Globe and Mail published an article by Matthew Chung on the protests. Here's an excerpt:
Mr. Aranga joined about 1,000 other immigrants, refugees and their supporters who demonstrated in Toronto on Saturday to protest the deportations of illegal workers.
Protests were also held in Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Fredericton to demand the federal government immediately grant permanent resident or landed immigrant status to all illegal workers, estimated at 500,000 across the country by the protests' organizers.
The demonstrators also demanded the Conservative government put the wheels of a full-regularization program in motion.
Marchers in Toronto said officers for Canada Border Services Agency are targeting immigrants such as Mr. Aranga, knocking on the doors of people they suspect are living here illegally, stopping them in shopping malls and subways and using children as bait to nab parents.
Congratulations to the organizers of a successful protest! For immigration advice, here is a lawyer in Winnipeg.
