    After 36 months: I go for Mandamus! Who else here has hired a lawyer?

    torontosm, Always deviating from facts. No one is questioning cic's RQs issuance to make sure the residency is met , but the problem is the processing time. When they give you 45 days to submit documents, it shouldn't take 45 months to process these files. And that's what people are complaining...

    After 36 months: I go for Mandamus! Who else here has hired a lawyer?

    hi Walitys, Best wishes for you! however my question is, you seem to have concrete evidence of residence, so why would there be a shred of doubt that the decision can be negative? Judges have to make decisions based on evidence not whatever they think right!

    Sign petition: Citizenship Act Bill C-24 discrimination

    Quote from Torontosm- You don't seem to fully understand either the US or the Canadian immigration systems. Contrary to your assertion, both countries have clear immigration laws and both countries amend those from time to time. Both countries have officials whose job it is to enforce these...

    What (some) birth Canadians think about immigrants

    You pointed out so correctly that in the US you will always hear about Illegal immigrants, and they are working towards making people legal/ documented. Not so much about giving LPRs hard time. I always wonder what woulda happened here if there were 12-14 million undocumented people living in...

    Looking to hear stories of people affected by Citizenship Act reforms

    What about the fact that people are waiting for 3-4 years or longer to be processed for their Citizenship application. People were given RQ left and right and most cases based on their country or origin. This new bill has everything about making it harder to qualify for citizenship but no clear...

    What (some) birth Canadians think about immigrants

    It saddens me that, every time there is a news on media about immigration/citizenship related issues the comment section is full of negativity about immigrants. If there is so much negativity then why not stop the immigration? If the country has sufficient human resources/ capital to survive...

    What (some) birth Canadians think about immigrants

    Noone answered this question I asked before.. I will ask again.. Why someone has to be forced to live(reside) in a country if the country has so much to offer? Does anyone else think that the focus is completely on a wrong spot by this administration? Shouldnt we be working on creating more...

    New Citizenship Bill Thursday Feb 6th

    Why do you have to force someone to live in a place when this country has so much to offer? Someone has to ask this question? Why having an open immigration system to bring in 250,000 each year when there is so much negativity about immigrants? Isn't Citizenship about celebrating and embracing...
