When white people in Canada experience discrimination (for eg; Anglos treated badly by French in Quebec); don't you think it serves as a valuable learning experience for them? Confucius said, “Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.” Unless white people experience...

Passed citizenship test. Got 19 right out of a total of 20 questions. Its a fairly easy test if you have read the Discover Canada booklet even once. Some questions were slam dunk easy, but there were 2 or 3 tricky ones. Given that you need to get atleast 15 correct answers out of a total of 20...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/19/parma-police-resign-black-female-mayor_n_7097110.html And now this. All white police officers resign in a town in US when a black female Mayor gets elected. Doesn't this indicate racism? For me, there is a sense of deja vu in that, I faced a similar...

CAJan - You have still not landed in Canada. Once you start living here, you will understand what I am talking about. I think you are from Hong Kong. Most people who are from Hong Kong and China who immigrate to Canada try to survive by finding a Chinese manager. Usually, they find Chinese...

Only 4 months to process your application for Australian citizenship? That's wonderful. I am aware that Australia is really good at this. On their website, average processing time for citizenship applications is 80 calendar days. In Canada, it takes 2 to 3 years on an average to process a...

No complication at all. CIC did not ask me to send any documents. I did not get any RQ either. I worked and studied in Canada during the last 5 yrs. I have also volunteered extensively for non-profits in Canada. I am as good a Canadian as anyone can be ! I read, write and speak better English...

How is the GAP store incident not discrimination? I had 3 white people singling me out, to ask for directions to where certain types of clothes were. There were so many white people standing near me. White shoppers did not go to other white shoppers to ask for directions about where the clothes...

Why is everybody so silent on this thread? I completed 18 months now. All background checks done as of Feb 2015. Call centre tells me that they will call me for citizenship test in "due course". Got my MPs office to call CIC, received the same "in due course" ambiguous response. No end in sight...
