Habiti after reading your reply I have no doubt that you are genuine, I hope you and your husband can be together, don't give up. You should appeal and explain to the appeal judge(panel?) what you told us here, I'm sure if they are reasonable human beings with a heart they would accept. It...

The conservatives were a minority government, a minority government is at the mercy of the opposition. The NDP and Liberals would have never allowed the conservatives to change immigration rules in terms of putting a hold on parent/grandparents or changing refugee rules, or introducing...

Look Habiti I know its tough right now, but you have to consider the fact that sometimes things happen for a reason. You may hate something that is good for you, but like something that is bad for you, you don't know but GOD knows, I know its hard but you gotta think of it that way if you are a...

Do you know anything about spousal sponsorship? If your spouse gets any public funds you must, must as the sponsor pay it back to the government or you will be in serious trouble! That is the whole idea of spousal sponsorship. Also look at the study I quoted above, it says that immigrants cost...

You remind me of a guy in my University, his father was some minister in Turkmenistan, so this guy was very rich. He came on a student visa and just kept getting one degree after another, switching programs, just prolonging his education as much as he could in order to stay in the country...

I know about those scenarios, those people just come to Canada for citizenship so they can get visa free access to other countries and so they can come to Canada to take advantage of generous health benefits. This is their intention from the beginning. Many of them have good jobs and money ...

Immigration officials of any country tend to be like that, ever been to the USA, Saudi Arabia, the UAE?? I would say relatively speaking Canadian officials are very nice. U.S officials have even been known to threaten people with arrest and physical harm, in Saudi Arabia if you get mouthy with...

Well the foremost expert on immigration and its impact is Harvard economist George Borjas, he has argued that too much immigration harms the economy. 250,000 + immigrants is just way way too much in my opinion, and in the opinion of many economists. This has got to be reduced. Further there...

No they won't, the Indian government will tell me to F off. Their not going to give me anything because it is not their duty. The duty of the Indian government is to ensure the safety of Indian citizens. For example, why don't any refugees make claims in Qatar or Singapore or in Jordan? Because...

So you're just coming to Canada for a passport? I see this attitude among a lot of people. They see the Canadian passport as a travel aide which will help them go to various places. I feel Canada is handing out its passport too cheaply and easily, cheapening Canadian Citizenship. Why not stay...

I was born here.

Another bogus refugee claim. I don't understand, why is it Canada's duty to take in people who are having problems in other countries? If I have a problem in Canada will the Indian government take me and my family in provide us housing and waste Indian tax payer money on us? India is a large...

Trust me man, If I were you I'd stay there. A beautiful warm island with sandy beaches hmmmmm sounds so nice! 8)

Yes I am a Canadian. All I am saying is the government does not properly fund cities for schools, roads, health etc..the government just takes in lots of immigrants and lets the cities deal with it. If you want to add 250,000 people a year, you should have the proper funding in place otherwise...

I think if you are satisfied, why would you leave? Canada is not some magical place, things are expensive and the weather can be horrible. Many young university graduates have a hard time finding a job in their field and have to take lower positions. In terms of accounting, for a CA Articling...

Yep, that's true. If Canada just keeps blindly increasing its population, will that really increase our standard of living and quality of life? Do we want large mega cities with millions of people and crowded dense housing? I don't think most Canadians do, the beauty of Canada is the fact that...

I would like to share some good news as well, something that surprised me. I filed for my wife inland on Aug 23 2011, she was in Canada on a visit visa, set to expire in mid September. However, I failed to include the visit visa extension application with the sponsorship application. Anyway...

That argument is flawed. Canada is large, but how many people can live in the North West Territories, the Yukon, or other Northern areas? Most of Canada is uninhabitable, the actual livable area is a small thin line along the US border. Most immigrants simply go to Southern Ontario ie Toronto...

Also you could go and join him, live together for a year, maybe improve his English, take tons of pics and try and apply again? That would really prove how committed you both are.

HMM I was raised in that culture myself (though not Morocco) and I too have a hard time believing that an unmarried Arab Muslim man with no children would marry a 46 year old lady then commit to her for the rest of his life?? I think CIC is saving you a lot of heartache. You have to understand...
