Demonstrators gathered in Montreal's Parc-Extension neighbourhood Saturday to demand the federal government grant permanent residency status for all undocumented people living in Canada.
Similar protests took place across the country as part of what's been called the "Migrant Spring."
Protesters called on Immigration Minister Marc Miller to create a program to regularize the status of migrants, end deportations and immigration detention.
In December Miller said he was preparing a program that would allow many undocumented people to apply for permanent residency — but the protesters say they don't want anyone left out.
