Ok I'm going to clarify a few things, understanding or acknowledging something is a privilege does not and should not come at the expense of anyone's integrity. In fact it makes us value what we have and be more appreciative but that does not mean we can't attribute our personal hard work to obtaining our immigration status. We just have to be respectful of the system, especially considering the timelines and processes have already been identified.suvan said:
Many of us are hard working immigrants with good value systems and contribute positively in many ways to our various societies or Canada as a whole. I personally would rather die on my feet than live on my knees and it's a sentiment many of us immigrants share.
The logic is simple, if something is not a right it's a privilege. e.g According to the universal declaration of human rights education is a right not a privilege . Immigrating to a country you're not a citizen of on the other hand is not a right. That said every country is privileged to have diversity and contribution from immigrants, in essence most stakeholders benefit from immigration.
The immigration system is not perfect and could certainly improve but behind Australia, Canada has the most progressive immigration system in the world.
