This bill will pass the 3rd reading either today or tomorrow. However as of today, it's a minority party who's pushing it, while rejecting every single amendment from the opposition. Hopefully, this should change the perception a lot. It also gives more hope, this bill will be rewritten after...

Sequence of events: 1) The NDP opposition proposed to vote, if the house should adjourn. 2) Nobody said 'nay' 3) Speaker asked, if there is a unanimous consent on that. 4) Conservatives said 'nay'. 5) Then opposition said, this has to be put to vote. Then Conservatives started lying (as usual)...

I agree, that they should, but it doesn't seem that they would. They are bullies. However, if lots of us volunteer during the next federal elections, hopefully, Conservatives will loose any ground whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Conservatives seem to be crushed in Ontario. At least, one good news.

Re: Work Permit Application @ Port of Entry (POE) - Non-Visa Exempt Again, as I've been told by CIC, you cannot apply for a work permit at the border if you are non-visa exempt, and you don't have work visa and a letter from the Embassy / Consulate. But I encourage you to contact CIC...

Yeah, Costas Menegakis has managed to find about 10 supporters of the bill. And then said, that 83% of Canadians support it. Apparently, not only Ontarian Conservatives have issues with math.

Can't resist: please, compare this quote with this quote: Now, here is the link for the latest: http://goo.gl/6oDln9 I think, no more comments about torontosm are necessary. To the subject, NDP is making a lot of good points. Conservatives are lying as usual, trying to pretend, that...

Sorry, I just can't understand how you can support Conservatives having such opinion. I can't say I agree with you, but you raise some questions which can be discussed outside of this topic. The thing is that Conservatives exactly want this 2 years of slavery, and potentially much more than 2...

Huh, I probably missed the part, where they are going to reinstate slavery ::) Don't see a point to talk any further, but just FYI, the 'TFW scandal' (as almost all other current issues with Immigration) is a result of a 10-year policy led by Conservatives.

I'd say, there must be a balance here, as with lots of other things. If you stop accepting international students completely, Canadian schools will fall in the ratings, so nobody would want to study there. Canadians would be heading south of the border for a good education. On the other side...

These all are just small parts in a total Immigration failure led by Conservatives. I think, the following is really the quote of the day: "....barbers trying to perform brain surgery......"

Presence of International Students is one of the important points that is considered by any serious University rating. Similar with Foreign Workers, if higher skilled expatriates are willing to come to your country, it raises its prestige. On the other hand, I agree, that since 2006...

Absolutely, plus they pay fees for visas, permits and other Government services, not required for Canadians. Free money for Canadian budget. + They also raise Canada's prestige as a country. Suppose you don't have International Students / Foreign Workers, that means you are not so good as a...

I don't care about convincing you in anything. I see nothing logical in what you've written by the way. Following your logic, no one should be entitled to citizenship. Maybe someone born in Canada shouldn't be granted citizenship because (s)he may become a criminal? Or maybe PRs on a welfare...

One more important argument about the timing change, is that people were actually planning this pre PR-time to take account in their citizenship application. In example (but not limited to), by delaying their travel plans, etc. Now, this Government shows that its own words dated a year ago...

I am not talking the numbers here. I've already said before that 30k+ is actually a lot for a generally passive population. But that's not the point. The point is that all he said about this petition is that someone has signed it without properly understanding its content. That clearly presumes...

When Chris Alexander presumes that 30k+ people have signed the petition only because they didn't understand it properly, I don't think that's about 'other point of view'. For me, it's an insult. And I believe, he should be out of Parliament on the next elections.

Re: Work Permit Application @ Port of Entry (POE) - Non-Visa Exempt You cannot apply for a Work Permit at a border if you are non-visa exempt. Even if you have a TRV. That's what I was told by CIC regarding a similar situation. BTW, if in doubt, you can ask them yourself. + If you have a...

Just a troll, probably like this one: http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/18/3523434/violentacrez-michael-brutsch-apologizes-cnn Ignore him.

Wow, great speech of hers.
