Minister Chris Alexander said that the RQ processing will reduced to 2 years

"Bad apples" are just statistical facts of life everywhere on this planet, they apply for citizenship in every other country as well, but those countries don't have such things as RQ, pathetic delays and never-stopping obsession with "those applying for citizenship of convenience". They somehow figured procedures by this century and content with them.

Yeah but most here would not like those "procedures". Like eliminating "jus soli" (citizenship by birth in a country) or making it hard for anyone who does not have ethnic ties to the country or at least one parent who is a citizen. This eliminates many potential applicants.

When compared to other developed countries, Canada is quite generous in regards to immigration and citizenship...

With "procedures" I meant a no-nonsense and timely way to process applications for naturalization. Elimination of "jus soli" is a different issue.

I agree with you Keesio.

I am just frustrated with the process of getting citizenship application approved. Overall I admire Canada for being open for immigration unlike US and other developed countries.
