Also, some one has to set himself on fire ( just like what happened in some countries around the world ) just to let the people inside the parliament to notice that we are protesting outside,

Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship
- Thread starter piotrqc
- Start date
Just joking
I am calling my MP everyday and asking for answers as to when the Citizenship knowledge test would start and get a standard answer "We Dont know yet". So we are group of 21 immigrants waiting for citizenship test in the constituency planning to go to our MPs office with placards and vocal our voice. I would suggest going to MPs office collectively is more effective than goin to Parliament. I have also been tweeting almost everyday under the
#Resume_Citizenship_Tests and tagging @CitImmCanada @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @marcomendicino @catrinatapley @CP24 @CBCNews. I would recommend to please do the same and hopefully our voice will be heard by someone in the administration
Thanks, did you receive any email communication from Ottawa office or was there an update on your ecas status?
Don't you think it would be better to organize this simultaneously - the same day at the same time - in front of several IRCC CIC offices, like the spousal sponsors did? ... Or maybe both? ...
I sincerely think, and it is paradoxical, that the more time passes, the more people will be willing to do something ... But there is also another element that worries me: Most candidates for Canadian citizenship come from countries that are not very democratic, or not democratic at all ... Maybe the reason for the cultural background of different origins plays a role in this situation of passivity? ...
In any case, there will be a vote of confidence next Monday ... If by bad luck the current Liberal government falls and the very right-wing Conservatives O'toole win by a majority, we may have to prepare. to see our applications canceled and returned, and the rules changed retroactively ...
The horror scenario
Why would they cancel and return them? I see no logic there, they will waste time already spent processing them.Don't you think it would be better to organize this simultaneously - the same day at the same time - in front of several IRCC CIC offices, like the spousal sponsors did? ...

I don't see that happening either. I know the Conservatives are not very keen on immigration, but it would be pointless to do that.
Even if the conservative get the power... is not going to be their priority to change the citizenship laws.... remember that it takes over 1 year and half to adopt a new lawDon't you think it would be better to organize this simultaneously - the same day at the same time - in front of several IRCC CIC offices, like the spousal sponsors did? ...

I just can't understand, how easily people believed about tests resume (even in Vancouver)... They clearly still quote "all citizenship test are cancelled until further notice" they just added a word on bottom saying bla bla bla retest...
Just to keep people calm, and lower there voice, which I believe also include cbc's post (remember they just updated website after 2 months) ??

I've already get a reply from this MP office asking me about more details to assist me ..

This is an answer for all those who say that mobilization is useless. Here is the result of the mobilization ...
If we do nothing, we will wait for years and years (maybe worse if the Conservatives win a majority) ... Keep sleeping.
