Hi Arm's length means independent. In other words an independent review from an entity which is not directly part of government (in other words non-political) . Such examples of those are agencies boards, commissions and crown corporations. The minister or prime Minister is not allowed to...

Actually there is already one amendment that is discussed and will be adopted by committee and McCallum already agreed with that amendment. What cons want is the clause for two class citizenship and I will never vote or support libs if they compromise on that one.

Hi This is a bit of misinformation. Unless in special cases, all senators can speak for or against any bill. And no they do not announce we are filibustering. They just register their names to speak. There are 42 cons and in theory each can delay a week or so. So, unless there is an urgency...

Hi, As mentioned earlier, depending on your province's rules you may not need your landing to pay domestic fee. In Ontario, married or common law partners of Canadian/PRs automatically pay domestic tuition fee (as we had).

Hi, No, you are supposed to receive it in the mail. The thing is now, they have slowed down the pr card process (deja vu) and it is now 3 months (and growing) delay for PR card.
