Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

Yes, just read it. It seems the mandate for federal workers will go into affect before the end of this month. Let's hope they can enforce it.

How would that speed up the processing of applications and reduce backlog ?

It won't. Nowhere does it say that federal employees working remotely will be mandated back to the office.

That means more would be working from home.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino says Canada will accept twice as many Afghan refugees as it had previously announced, letting the world know at the United Nations.

“At the UN, Canada announced we will double our humanitarian resettlement commitment from 20,000 to 40,000 Afghan refugees,” tweeted Mendicino.

“Through our efforts, we will offer a new home for Afghan refugees while upholding democracy and human rights around the world.”

I dont like to be rude but please allow me to show him a BIG Middle finger



Canada’s Largesse to Afghans Likely to Clog Up the Processing of Other Applications, Some Complain
The United Nations appreciates Canada’s willingness to provide safe haven for refugees. But not everyone shares that enthusiasm.

On Twitter, many people trying to gain permanent residence in Canada saw this latest announcement as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) putting their own applications on hold.

“You are bringing refugees at the expense of other applications,” alleged one Twitter user. “IRCC didn’t increase its capacity to process files simultaneously.

“IRCC under your leadership decided to put our lives on hold indefinitely. Our lives have been put on hold since March 2020.”

Another Twitter user urged Mendicino to clear the backlog of applications under spousal and family reunification programs before opening the door to more refugees.

“Clear the backlogs. How many families are getting affected by delays as a result?” he tweeted. “I haven’t seen my family in two years and there are many more like me. Five years in Canada and still waiting for my decision. IRCC just requests documents and doesn’t do anything.”

Unbelievable

What's the point of enforcing vaccine mandate for federal workers if it's not for them to go back to offices? The PM has an announcement tomorrow to talk about his plan regarding this. If IRCC lazy employees want to work from home, that's fine, just find an effective strategy to clear the backlog. Many companies work from home and their services virtually hasn't been affected. The problem is not working from home, the problem is with quick adaptation and effective transition. IRCC still accepts paper-based. This should be cancelled if they plan to continue working from home, and they should digitalized all paper-based applications they already have that collect dust not being touched for months at a time, so IRCC employees can access them from the comfort of their bed, while watching Seinfeld on Netflix.

He can make hundreds of announcements but you think IRCC cares . They are the untouchables.

They are untouchable by us immigrants, but from above they will obey. It's how the system works. IRCC is not an independent country. It's a department of the government.

Systems don't apply to Quebec or IRCC . They both are nations within a nation. What have they obeyed uptil now ? Nothing. But yeah they have the authority to ruin immigrants whenever they want.

Just praying that there's no more crisis anywhere in the world. We are living in those times where our applications are impacted even if someone sneezes outside Canada.

IRCC may turn and bring Haitians after they finish Afghans. Canada suffers from a demographic shortage that cannot be filled by skilled immigrants.

Yes crisis is boiling up again and pretty big. Wait till winter .
