TORONTO - Canada opened its arms wider to foreigners Monday, enticing international students to join its work force once they graduate and making it easier for immigrant parents to join children already in Canada.

Immigration Minister Joe Volpe said Monday he hopes to triple the approvals of parents and grandparents seeking citizenship in Canada to some 18,000 a year. He also said Ottawa would spend an additional $58-million over the next two years to address a backlog of 110,000 cases. Volpe also said that starting this week, parents and grandparents waiting for their immigration visas to be processed would be granted five-year, multiple-entry visas so they could visit their children in the interim.
