Liberals promise to double the budget for CIC to reduce wait times

[jez13]

Everyone, the Liberals have just announced on page 62 of their platform that they will double the budget for CIC to reduce wait times, so that they can process applications faster to reunite families. They also promise automatic permanent residence for new spouses and restoring the residency time credit for students and temporary residents.

For all of us waiting for our spouses or family members to join us in Canada, let's all join together and vote Liberal this election.

Better yet...read through the OTHER threads here that have already been started regarding the Liberal promises. You'll soon find that it's not exactly as advertised!

So far, the overwhelming majority of people here do NOT agree with their plan to grant immediate PR, because the plan is to really eliminate the all-important Condition 51 that PROTECTS the sponsor!

They way Trudeau/Liberals presented this shows either

a) They don't understand the immigration process
b) They intentionally presented it as such to make it look different than advertised to fish for votes

To be honest, I don't know which is worse.

I think b is worse. You can educate someone on the immigration process, but for someone to deliberately mislead is just wrong in my mind.

I was thinking about this and I think maybe "a" is worse. Let's face it, ALL politicians do "b". That is just the way it is (unfortunately). But you what your politicians to at least have a clue as to how things work. Having someone in there that is clueless is worse.

The [not so] Honourable Chris Alexander also falls into the `a' category. LOL!

So, the only obvious vote for a solution would be to vote NDP, or Green...and `hope for the best', right?

That's a good point. Can I change my mind? haha. I remember reading somewhere about what having what it takes to be a politician. The main point was you need people in office who don't want to be politicians, because people who want to be politicians shouldn't be..

you try to sort through all the BS and see how these candidates really are and take the best of the lot.

Even though the Libs policies here are "off" to me, I'm still leaning on voting for them

NDP's immigration policies are the worst of the bunch... like eliminating application fees and the cap on parents sponsorship. Allowing in too many parents/grandparents will result in a drain on healthcare and hospital wait times, and unlimited apps allowed will just result in the massive backlog again. Increased immigration staffing is required but then if they eliminate fees where would the money come from?? Makes zero sense. No surprise though as the NDP seems to think money grows on trees so will just end up with higher taxes for all to accommodate.

Seems like they are promising in every sectors, such as savings and also spending. Only one thing I understood all the promises leading for one purpose that is fishing votes.

Apparently, Justin Trudeau just isn't ready...

Given his published commitments on abolishing Condition 51, I have to agree. Way to stitch up Canadian sponsors....

I find those ads so patronizing especially the "nice hair though" comment at the end...

And his hair really isn't all that nice.

The only pledge that Trudeau made that I only agree with is reducing the processing time. However whatever money spent there must be taken from other budget. Net zero. Maintain the budget.

All other pledges are, IMO, incredibly stupid.

Removing conditional 51 that is meant to PROTECT the SPONSOR. I guess the liberal believe that con artists have more rights than the sponsors. Not surprising considering they have "hug a thug" policies.

Removing the cap of PGP will only create the huge backlog that became a huge problem, in the first place. Plus accepting more and more parents/grandparents (free babysitters) will cause additional financial strain on health care, since they have never contributed to health cost their entire lives. If anything I would be on board with them if they replace PGP with sibling sponsorship.

Reversing the dependent age back to 22 from 18 under the PGP doesn't make any sense either. So the Liberals think a 19 year old person is no longer an ADULT? Does this mean that we need to increase our age to buy alcohol in Canada to 22 since 19-21 are no longer ADULTS? Our laws says 19 year olds are considered to be independent adults. That is why parents are no longer legally obligated to support their 19 year olds in Canada because they are legally deems to be independent adults. So again why should foreign 19-22 year olds nationals get the exception under PGP.

And now Trudeau wants dual citizens terrorists to keep their citizenship, a luxury majority of Canadians don't have. Another one of their usual "hug a thug" policies.
