Isn't that all politicians though? I'm just saying everyone is in it for their own benefit. You and I want to move there not to help the country, we want to move there because it's in our interests. Big shock that the government is also trying to act in their interest. Anyway, my basic point was that since we're all high scoring FSWs who are presumably well educated and all, it won't hurt if we express our grievances in a little more educated and respectful manner.
A well-educated person is not necessarily a humble one. If you're being treated like crap, if a government you're building a relationship with based on mutual promise - skills, talents, short, medium, and long-term economic contrition for the right to reside permanently - fails to keep their part of the promise, it is meet and right to raise your voice. It is absolutely appropriate to be straightforward and honest, which are the two traits IRCC is clearly lacking.
You are better, stronger, and more valuable than IRCC and any of their lying clerks who live on money from your fees.
You were born in a presumably developing country with huge income inequalities, but you were able to grow and develop yourself professionally and financially to be able to afford immigration. It's not just about money - some of the FSW applicants might rely on the decades of their family's savings. It's about your skillset, your assertiveness, your honesty, your desire to give the best to your family in generations to come. But if we go back to money - well, you just paid for a few date nights, maybe a new Tesla, a ski trip and a month worth of groceries to some irresponsible individual at IRCC. This is where your hard-earned money went to, and that's it. Sunk cost.
If you're being set aside like a trashcan by IRCC what promised you "express" entry, PR, citizenship in 3 years, etc., you're almost obliged to raise your voice. In part, to warn others who still buy into Canada's welcoming, immigrant-friendly image, and the false word "express" they use in their naming/promotion. Yes, the horrendous immigration system in the US still makes Canada look better, even more so for those trapped in the OPT/H1B realities with all uncertainty, inequality, spousal professional deterioration, one-bread-winner situation, inability to plan lives, and even to live more than 60 miles from the office.
But I personally know people who were able to get employment-based green cards faster than Canadian PR, even though they've applied for EE earlier than they did for a GC. Of course, there are caveats here, i.e. those people were pursuing EB-1, which I and most of us here aren't eligible for, they were not Indian, for whom there's currently no way to get a GC fast. But there's the anecdotal evidence that USCIS can be faster than IRCC for things other than fake green marriages.
Canada overpromised - but failed to deliver on its promise. In the age of social media and empowered customers, let's be vocal about it, let the world hear - and let Mendocino/Trudeau, with all those IRCC clerks, tremble!
