Just as a warning, I wouldn't suggest reading the comments in the article unless you want to be annoyed at many ignorant people's opinion. I had to take a step back and cool down because of some of the comments. People are so quick to judge when they're not in that situation. One person said, "Fill out the forms, wait your turn, nobody forced you to come here. What a sense of entitlement these people think they have."

The annoying thing is the lack of facts to spin the story. How come she was here for 2 years without applying? How did she do it? Visitor visa is only good so long and they won't renew it. Also why doesn't the article mention the moved offices increasing wait times. Also why have a baby if you don't have health coverage. In this day and age you can plan to have kids or not. Like everyone we have been waiting a long long time to move forward with our lives. I mean the fact the person immigrating cannot even drive after 90 days is a total stupid policy. How after 90 days do their driving skills change? To many questions and a stupid conservative government. Guess they know new Canadians aren't going to vote for them.

Congrats! This is a great news for all of us. I think you are the first one I know that received AIP from Mississauga. I hope they have awake after a long winter sleep.

Hi guys! sorry it took so long to get back to ya. I went to my interview and it went smoothly. They just asked me the same questions they've been asking everyone. I did have to wait a bit longer because they where backed up. To be fair, the Gardner had just been closed, so it might have just been that people were late for work. Anyways, I got my SIN that same day. They also told me that PR waiting time was 6 to 10 weeks. Which is OK with me, I have the papers and I'm not planning on travelling outside of Canada anytime soon. I have a question though. To those of you who are on the PR card waiting boat like me, we are moving to Albert very soon (we're currently in Ontario). Do I have to inform CIC that we are moving? I gave them a permanent address to where my PR card is going to arrive, so that won't be an issue. But I heard that you have to inform CIC about the move. I really don't see why though, since I already have my PR status. I appreciate your help guys! Thanks!!

The comments from the cbc article is very upsetting, I don't think I will keep reading. But nothing unexpected as immigrants will always viewed in a negative light. I can only come here and rant lol

I completely understand you feeling this way, and I think it's definitely in our best interest to not read the comments. I feel many people are very ignorant to the reality of this process and cannot possibly put themselves in our shoes because they have not experienced moving to another country, or being deprived of opportunities like working or at least being able to look and apply for jobs. Try to keep your head up though, and remember...we are all in this fight together !

My husband is the sponsor and he is totally shocked that being my husband meant absolutely nothing. In terms of going to school, basic rights etc. I told him that it's my PGWP that gave me health care for now and what allowed to work. He is appalled at what most of us is going through. But generally it is true, if it doesn't effect the average Canadian, people will not care. My husband cared because this affected him as he is married to a foreigner. We don't choose who we fall in love with. Just because nobody force us to, doesn't mean the wait time is not inhumanely long. 10 months to get AIP? That's 2 months shy from a year. That's inhumane.
