I think you missed my point, increase of fees is not to make it less affordable and limit the application amount, but for government to use the additional money to bring more resources to clear the applications. It also creates more jobs while serving immigrants better, I think it's win-win...

If they were smarter like Australia when implementing C-24, all these troubles would not exist in the first place. When Australia changed citizenship requirements from 2 year to 4 years, they had 3 years grace period to enforce the new law. The first reason is principle of fairness to make sure...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/citizenship-judges-canada-delays-1.3814734 Even bill C-6 unlikely will be passed and implemented, the citizenship backlog increase has already started.

First year is really sufficient to see what a government looks like in the next few years. When Harper was first elected in February 2006, the government introduced new simplified application process for PR after just 5 months in office (July 2006) to fight backlog from previous Liberals...

Hi Abdul, I find it's hard to believe they said they have all Exits made by Air. Are the exits to US? From my research, currently CBSA have no way to collect Exits to non-US destinations. It's a future project to achieve so. From this: http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1085459 Today, the...

Hi scylla, I'm really not convinced about tracking exit records by air to non-US destination. But I'm really curious to understand what really happened to your husband. From this: http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1085459 Today, the Government of Canada collects biographic information on...

Time already proved he is just a showman. He has already broken many promises, such as election reform. As for promise fulfillment, Conservatives may have much better track record. At least the promises about many immigration law reforms and cutting backlog for both PR and citizenship, they all...

After C-24, decision-making authority for discretionary citizenship grants has been moved to the Minster, also residence has been defined as physical residence (no longer possible to claim residence while aboard unless the organization he works for is a Canadian government organization not...

Yes, that was last year. Now the thing has changed after so many terrorist attacks happened in the past year. Also even Liberals themselves didn't act on what they have said. They stripped citizenship without hearing far more frequently than Conservatives period in the past year even they had...

Believe me, C-6 is one of least important things on government's agenda. Filling Senate vacancy is a far more complex task to do as Senate reform is still a hot topic in the public. Unless Senate make troubles to other more important bills, that currently it's not happening, also Conservatives...

The problem is, such false hope brought by Liberals actually impact people's life more than C-24. For C-24, at least it's certainty, people just need to wait one more year and they can still plan their life accordingly. But for C-6, it's uncertainty, it brought much more uncertainty to many...

Please just face the reality, the bill is already dead. It's both parties interests to keep as it. First, Conservatives definitely would not turn back their position two years ago and let it pass. But they also cannot reject the bill as it will jeopardize their reputation. So the best way is to...

We all know 99.99% chance they will skip C-6 today just like any other day. So why bother to check every day?

Skipped

The most important about Australia, when they changed citizenship law from 2 years to 4 years requirement, they applied the old law to all the old PRs landed before passing new law.

The problem is, while Liberals had opportunity to adopt amendment by NDP on this cause during Commons stage they rejected. Also while Liberals had power to suspend revoking citizenship without hearing while the bill still pending to show their moral ground again they didn't choose to do so. In...

Actually I'm just concerned but not desperately to become citizen. It really doesn't bring any extra benefits than my own citizenship. It's about the principles, fairness, justice, betray of government, what I witnessed in these years of living in the country is so contrary from the government's...

First, Canada government is not a master of anyone, nobody has the obligation to be loyal to it as a slave. This is not one of requirements to apply citizenship. Anyone can criticize it freely. Second, for me Canada is not an "opportunity" of life, it's simply one of many options, I was begged...
