Opened on November 06, 2011
We, the undersigned, are here by writing to inform you about delayed and indiscriminate response from Citizenship and Immigration Canada to our immigration files as applicants of federal skilled worker in 38 occupations category.
We have submitted our immigration files to Damascus visa office and received an email bearing our file numbers and mentioning our applications will be finalized within 12 months time.
Also, in that email, the migrants were strongly urged to use the following months not YEARS to gather information and empower themselves to be able to cope with living and working conditions in Canada.
During the time, a huge number of applicants have closely monitored the procedure specifically in Damascus office and postponed any new changes in their private lives as well as sacrificing other alternatives including national and international occupational or educational opportunities counting on reliability and accountability of a democratic state such as Canada.
For the time being, it has been observed that some files for after June the 26th, 2010 have received medicals which, from our angle, is completely unfair and arbitrary and raised concerns among those who have lodged their files in the FAST TRACK category more than 2 years ago. Even worse, 18 occupations out of 38 occupations of former category are exactly the same in the new 29 occupations list and the latter ones are receiving their medicals with the SAME occupation code to the detriment of former applicants which is an act of crying injustice.
As an incumbent you ought to be informed that lately the minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada has given a speech praising the modern and responsive immigration service without presenting sensible solutions cutting the huge backlog which could be called “escaping forward strategy”. On this basis the minister seems giving unpromising promises and his comments have fuelled fears that he may dismiss the processing of 38 occupation category for years through a hidden agenda.
However, if the applications prolong beyond a reasonable time, it could do damage to Canadian reputation as a welcoming country for high-skilled immigrants; so there would be no point expecting a higher life style standards in Canada as a disappointing matter of fact.
Thus, it has made us wondered whether you as a responsible authority on immigration issue could provide some sort of support on the processing of the FAST TRACK 38 occupation applicants according to C-50, since We do believe that the immigration department should Feel responsible toward all applicants and keep its promises as well.
