Well, I think mayankpandya meant that the immigration system put in place by the liberals when they were in power has caused that backlog. I agree with him and prefer the new system currently in place.Advance123 said:Dude, a change in government is not necessarily a bad thing.
2004 applicants are still waiting for VISA because of the system in place at that time.
No sensible government will reverse an improving process, rather they will enhance it.
Hence I don't get your point.
The problem is that the number of people applying for immigration to Canada every year used to significantly surpass the number of new visas that can be issued, causing this backlog. It's just like a barrel with a drain in the bottom and an opened water tap over it. The liberals used to keep the tap fully open so all the water accumulated in the barrel over years. What the conservatives did was that the partially closed the tap so the inflow became less than the drain discharge rate. I think what they did was beneficial for the lucky ones like us who had the right qualifications, whereas it caused problems for everyone else. Personally, I hope Canada reverts to the old point threshold (73 points) that was implemented before the simplified immigration process, which IMO caused all this mess.
