    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    Yes, this provision is written very vaguely. So the concern is it creates a loophole for someone inside the CIC who wants to abuse their power. Adding up to this, the current Minister seems completely incompetent. Which is just another sad factor in the circumstances.

    contract and reference letter requested

    You should do what CIC is asking you. If you don't provide the documents in the specified time, they'll reject your application.

    SPOUSAL [ OPEN WORK PERMIT ] APPLICATION

    1) Does your spouse fits under the following requirements? - a public post-secondary institution, such as a college or university or collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec - a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a...

    Country where applying, Help!

    It makes more sense to write Japan + add a note about her status in the USA, and that she's going back to Japan in July. That should be fine.

    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    I've honestly no idea. But I don't think the date is that important. There is no chance of stopping the voting, Conservatives don't care about us. To me, the point is to show that we exist, and there will be costs for Conservatives, and a chance for us to repeal this bill sooner or later. For...

    Yesterday, they also said the CIC budget will be cut by ~170 mln $ And let's not forget that processing fees go up. So, no hope for faster processing times. Quite the opposite. So, please don't forget about the protest: https://www.facebook.com/events/329557137191849/

    Courier sent to wrong address : PO BOX 3000 for CPC mississuaga

    Canada Post has service processing times, which depend on the type of package that you used and your location + destination. You can call them about those times or find the information on their website (it's not user-friendly though). Once the specified processing time passes, you may file a...

    Country tie using current employment

    1. This may work for your advantage, but I doubt that such agreement would be seen as a 'strong country tie'. The embassy has no means to verify the validity of this agreement. Plus the terms are a bit confusing (to me), so it's hard to say how they are going to interpret it, unless it's...

    PUBLIC PROTEST WILL TAKE PLACE @ JUNE 30 2014 @ 5 pm at 5100 Yonge Street on C24

    Re: PUBLIC PROTEST WILL TAKE PLACE @ JUNE 30 2014 @ 5 pm at 5100 Yonge Street on C24 No, we are just gearing up for the next election. My personal goal is to make sure that Costas Menegakis and Chris Alexander both loose their seats. Then we can talk about amendments to the bill...

    Guys, there was lots of discussion on Pre-PR time on other threads. Somebody just don't bother going through the original petition, the official site http://preprtimecounts.com/2014/04/04/faqs/ and multiple other threads on this forum to get the data. Please focus on the protest...

    Please join. If we gather reasonable number of people, we could get some media coverage, which is always a good thing.

    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    I lived in Quebec long enough to assure you that 'Conservative' is almost a swear word there. And if you dig a little further in history than last elections, you would see those patches of blue are somewhat inconsistent. The article you are referring to is from January. Yesterday we have seen...

    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    That was one of Conservatives' point yesterday. However, there are 2 ways dealing with this: making things better or making thins worse and widening the gap. Conservatives choose making things worse, as usual.

    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    Your map visually supports it as I look at it. Also, previous elections were in times of in / just after economic crisis. So a lot of ppl voted Conservative from the point of betting on the same horse. I think they have a good chance to loose the Government in 2015.

    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    Yes, but almost everything East of Ontario hates Conservatives wholeheartedly. Plus, let's not forget that these were GTA's MPs who provided Conservative majority in the last elections. + It will be my great pleasure to see Costas Menegakis loosing his seat in a year. And even greater pleasure...

    It will be an issue for me to go and volunteer against them. And I sincerely hope, there will be thousands more new volunteers just because of this bill. Though, you are right, there are plenty of other reasons to vote them down.

    That wasn't on the bill. They simply voted, that they won't be taking a break.

    OMG, mate, do you know what rhetoric is? I'm saying that there must be accountability, when you make important country-wide decisions. Accountability means that you are basing your support on something. This support for Conservatives clearly doesn't exist any more. Unfortunately, Conservatives...

    Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

    As I've written, the perception has changed. De jure, they have majority. De facto, Conservatives have lost their support in Ontario. As of today, they have no moral rights to tackle such important country-wide issues as citizenship. Unfortunately, the liars don't know what the word 'moral'...
