Seems these two are really pushing with the media to be given special status. I hope they don't get it. It would be bad enough if they merely wanted to be bumped up in the processing queue. But they haven't even got the residency requirement to apply for citizenship yet! So they want the rules we all have to work by waved in their case.

As far as I'm concerned, let her skate for the US (if she can). There should be no "special favors" granted. We sure as hell get none.
Wow what a crock of S**t, maybe our son will invent the first flushing toilet that using no liquid, maybe he should get a 5/4 as well.

I don't know if it just me or not, but the fooking country seems to have a lot of people who seem to think the rules are for everyone else, except them.

I know. Did you hear the radio broadcast on CBC about the Indian national who was whining because citizenship took him so long and all his other friends were laughing at him because they immigrated to the UK and Australia and already had their citizenship. http://www.cbc.ca/player/Radio/Local+Shows/Maritimes/Mainstreet+(NS)/ID/2381341467/

I've probably posted that before.. it just still pisses me off :p

Sports are important. Family isn't. That's the society we live in. Everyone is treated equally (read: we are all criminals who want to commit marriage fraud so no matter how legitimate our marriage is we have to wait and wait and beg and beg) until someone who can win a medal in some BS international competition applies. Those people always jump to the front of the line.

Did you ask for a copy of your electronic notes or a scanned copy of your physical file? There's 2 options.
