The CBC had a good article today that Canada Immigration has increased its quotas for 2019-2021, including family reunification. Almost 50,000 more persons being admitted in 2019. Good news for all of us, I think!
Good news thanks

He won't stop this topic. Indirectly calling us haters..We pray to GOD please keep away fraudulent immigrants incl illegal /FAKEs entering from BACK DOORS in to our country so Canada does not have to spend millions on them, returning them etc etc. And we all dont have to pay much more in taxes as a result. Canada's doors are open for legal immigrants, may it be any category :)
I hope we are done with this - as this is not the place. But in case we are not - I think Warsan Shire said it best:

no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well

your neighbors running faster than you
breath bloody in their throats
the boy you went to school with
who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory
is holding a gun bigger than his body
you only leave home
when home won’t let you stay.

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
no one chooses refugee camps
or strip searches where your
body is left aching
or prison,
because prison is safer
than a city of fire
and one prison guard
in the night
is better than a truckload
of men who look like your father

no one could take it
no one could stomach it
no one skin would be tough enough

the
go home blacks
refugees
dirty immigrants
asylum seekers
sucking our country dry
niggers with their hands out
they smell strange
savage
messed up their country and now they want
to mess ours up
how do the words
the dirty looks
roll off your backs
maybe because the blow is softer
than a limb torn off

or the words are more tender
than fourteen men between
your legs
or the insults are easier
to swallow
than rubble
than bone
than your child body
in pieces.
i want to go home,
but home is the mouth of a shark
home is the barrel of the gun
and no one would leave home
unless home chased you to the shore
unless home told you
to quicken your legs
leave your clothes behind
crawl through the desert
wade through the oceans
drown
save
be hunger
beg
forget pride
your survival is more important

no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear
saying-
leave,
run away from me now
i dont know what i’ve become
but i know that anywhere
is safer than here

People gaming the system because PM virtue signal told them to is different than people legitimately seeking asylum.

This is a board all about immigration. People here don’t hate immigrants. We either are immigrants or are married to future immigrants.

Nobody is bashing immigrants. They are against fraud, and paying for fraudsters. We pay with our tax dollars and with our time when fraudulent claims clog up the system.

There is a big difference.

Absolutely! Canada, like every other western country are a nation full of LEGAL immigrants that went through the legal immigration process (Medical exams, background checks, financial situation, etc...) like all of us on this thread are presently going through with our immigrant spouses. As a Canadian Tax Payer we have every right to be outraged as we have a substitute drama teacher (Mr Peoplekind and not mankind) pretending to be a prime minister but he is really a United Nations Puppet as he does things like gives $10.5 million dollars of Canadians tax payer money to known terrorist (Khadr) and obviously does NOT put Canadian citizens first.

Canada wants good immigrants like all of YOU and YOUR SPOUSES that are going through the legal process (and we know it can be frustrating for some) as we don't want to end up like Europe that has 1,000 "no go zones" in their once peaceful western nations and a major drain on the tax payer money because they didn't vet properly. Regardless of a humanitarian crisis you never put the safety of your own citizens AT RISK... EVER!!! This is a reason why the Yellow Vest movement is finally popping up in France now as people have had enough of their completely INEPT leadership. Many of us just don't want Canada to end up in the same situation with our INEPT Prime Minister (Mr FAKE EYE BROWS) doing similar things as these inept globalist European leaders have done.

This is about bringing in good immigrants that go through the whole immigration process like all of us and our spouses that makes Canada GREAT as we have many different cultures around the world living peacefully in Canada and we want to keep it that way with our great quality of life and not what we see happening in Europe.

Yes I know this is OFF TOPIC and I AM DONE! (Thanks everyone for listening. I feel much better now!!! :)). Good luck to all of you & your spouses on your applications!

This is Canada......Too cold outside!!
Much rather be cuddling with wife inside.

Me and the wife are in the Philippines where it is too hot outside but I am more than happy to take it outside (politically speaking) for the sake of the thread.

received medical yesterday

a heads up guys, depending on what country you are working with (in this case Philippines), the cost for getting a couple medicals done, glasses (they want you to bring glasses to the appointment), shots, hotel, flight tickets etc to handle all the medical stuff, is probably gonna end up costing me north of 1,000 dollars Canadian. and you only have 30 days to get back to them. so start thinking about that now! don't be like me, i'm scrambling here

There's definitely some sticker shock - Cuba as well - $405 each (and I have my husband and my son coming). And we are coming up on renewal of the police checks as well. Not a cheap process, and lots of hidden surprises in the costs.

I would also recommend to everyone bringing over someone from a different climate - shop the sales on coats, winter boots etc. This isn't my first rodeo and I can tell you that you are going to want to do that - to at least provide your significant person the basics - until they figure out their own style and get accustomed to shopping here. Think about extra insurance fees, extra health plan costs and dental costs, they'll want a Canadian cellphone, they may want to watch all the Real Madrid Club games - so you pay for a special cable channel (haha - that'll be me) transit passes, gym passes, memberships to things that you currently do, extra bedding in some cases - it all adds up! And then there are English classes, and college....save now! :)
