Like I mentioned many time we should all gather at the parliament to protest and if you can attend make sure to meet somewhere in downtown in your province to protest nothing will help. They will ignore Coming # hashtag and email From us
Also, some one has to set himself on fire ( just like what happened in some countries around the world ) just to let the people inside the parliament to notice that we are protesting outside,
Just joking:):)

I am calling my MP everyday and asking for answers as to when the Citizenship knowledge test would start and get a standard answer "We Dont know yet". So we are group of 21 immigrants waiting for citizenship test in the constituency planning to go to our MPs office with placards and vocal our voice. I would suggest going to MPs office collectively is more effective than goin to Parliament. I have also been tweeting almost everyday under the
#Resume_Citizenship_Tests and tagging @CitImmCanada @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @marcomendicino @catrinatapley @CP24 @CBCNews. I would recommend to please do the same and hopefully our voice will be heard by someone in the administration

One can only hope that there will be a no confidence vote

We have to do something new and the only think is to gather in the parliament.
Don't you think it would be better to organize this simultaneously - the same day at the same time - in front of several IRCC CIC offices, like the spousal sponsors did? ... Or maybe both? ...

I sincerely think, and it is paradoxical, that the more time passes, the more people will be willing to do something ... But there is also another element that worries me: Most candidates for Canadian citizenship come from countries that are not very democratic, or not democratic at all ... Maybe the reason for the cultural background of different origins plays a role in this situation of passivity? ...

In any case, there will be a vote of confidence next Monday ... If by bad luck the current Liberal government falls and the very right-wing Conservatives O'toole win by a majority, we may have to prepare. to see our applications canceled and returned, and the rules changed retroactively ...
The horror scenario :(

Why would they cancel and return them? I see no logic there, they will waste time already spent processing them.

I don't see that happening either. I know the Conservatives are not very keen on immigration, but it would be pointless to do that.

Even if the conservative get the power... is not going to be their priority to change the citizenship laws.... remember that it takes over 1 year and half to adopt a new law

I just can't understand, how easily people believed about tests resume (even in Vancouver)... They clearly still quote "all citizenship test are cancelled until further notice" they just added a word on bottom saying bla bla bla retest...
Just to keep people calm, and lower there voice, which I believe also include cbc's post (remember they just updated website after 2 months) ??

Use your brain ....
Thanks to all of you who still support # on twitter... Better than nothing...
