I'm doubtful on this one, unless war breaks out, and Taiwan lost, though given current US language it seems that whoever's gonna win it's going to be a pyrrhic victory. Unlike Afghanistan where Afghans want to leave, the Taiwanese people actually want to stay in Taiwan.
Taiwanese won’t drop their shit and run. If it does escalate, it will be long.
They might be sad about the Canadian ambassador being expelled from Turkey, so all services down because we sad.
I was thinking the same but I am not too sure. We will send out an email to find out if they know if the processing time will be expedited
Nah not refugees. Special program and priority processing. Like they did with Hong Kong. And they won't distribute the workload to compensate for a Taiwan specific program. They'll just push it on FSWs. It's perfect for their political grandstanding.
HK was different, HK is internationally recognized as part of China. It has no military, nothing similar to the Taiwan defense act, and the police is under Chinese jurisdiction. What happened in HK was the local government clamping down on human rights in HK. Similarly Taliban a "local" government is calmping down on human rights.
All of this is under the assumption that IRCC decisions are based on some form of rationality. But you're right maybe it won't be Taiwan. Let's go Turkey. Hope FSWs aren't ever allowed into Canada.
It's under the assumption that IRCC would follow whatever the other nations are doing, the Brits let HK in, they let HK in, US let's Afghans in, they let Afghans in.
As far as I know, HK, perhaps not by definition, is also a very wealthy country. They just offered a special stream and priority processing to people from HK. I don't see why they wouldn't do that with Taiwan. I'm sure there people wanting to immigrate to Canada from Taiwan. Regardless, I wasn't being serious. I was just making a joke about IRCC's batshit decision making. Hopefully we all see some good news in a couple of days and bid good riddance to the shitstain that ruined Canadian immigration.
Because while HK was wealthy, it was not a "country", it never was, it was land leased by the Brits from China, then given a taste of democracy. The original agreement with UK was for China to slowly merge HK back to the mainland, what happened last year with HK, was China accelerating that process thus undermining the western rights that the HK residents come to know and love.
Agreed! I'd rather avoid it, since Taiwan is just a few hundred kilometers off the coast of my country.
Bunch of incorrect stuff here that I won't bother correcting, but there are 18 countries today that recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state, the largest of which are Guatemala and Haiti. The US and EU do not recognize Taiwan as an independent country, and the nations that do, don't really have any impact on the world stage. Again, like I said, I was merely making a joke at IRCC's expense. I'll use actual sources when I want to brush up on my world history.
Wow I didn't know this, I always thought Taiwan was a sovereign country. Such ignorance. It's not surprising though, considering I hadn't heard there was a country named Canada until I found out it wasn't quite possible to immigrate to the US... lol
