I will agree when something actually happens (like deportations and cancelation of PR's and citizenships)

Everyone hates Kenney, but I think he's up to doing a very good job. Of course, you have to crack some eggs to make an omelete, but in the long run, I think Canada needs the changes he's making.

I remember reading that sponsors used to be financially responsible for 5 or 10 years. Why did they drop this to 3? Did this not work very well?

Singapore received my wifes PR application in March 2011.
Received letter in November 2011 informing us that we are on an interview list.
Have been informed (via MP) that my wifes interview will take place in 2013.

Parents are 10 years so if a parent sponsor their child and vice versa its 10 year

The article says

"To become a citizen, a permanent resident is supposed to have lived in Canada for three years in a four-year period. Permanent residents must be physically present in Canada for two years out of five to retain their status.
"

I thought it was 3 of 5 years???

I like Kenney.  First Minister of Immigration in a long time to actually DO anything.  I don't always agree with him but then again, I don't always agree with my cat either.

Same IQ, Cat & Kenney (I am not saying your cat is smart BTW).

Dude, my cat's a freakin' genius!   Tongue

You should have been around before Kenney.  Can barely remember the names of previous ministers because they did a whole lot of NOTHING.
