Mate, granted that life is unfair, but states are bound to the welfare of their citizens and legal subjects/entrants only, that’s the ruthless Machiavellian way by which states operate. I’ll always advocate for measures against illegal immigration no matter how inconsiderate I sound. I doubt anyone here has it in them to force any states’ hand alike the illegal immigrants, or we wouldn’t be going through this frustrating process. Such illegal immigrants have little to no contributions to the state’s economy.
But anyway, this surely is a frustratingly lengthy process, so we should hold our horses and hang in tight there, because it will happen eventually, think of the SINP applicants who have to wait more than 6 months for provincial nomination. Once we’re through the provincial nomination milestone, the upcoming post ITA process is relatively shorter.
