... and will be only for new applicants. mike

We are waiting now since March first... 3 1/2 months, already over the 25 months processing time. mike

Unfortunately this won't happen because we will still waitin' for citizenship. Other than that I agree with all your comments. It's a pity how this government ruins Canada's reputation in the world. mike

... you get frustrated, call CIC call center and get more frustrated or sit still and wait. mike

Your words concern CIC officials and 90% PCP voters as the water going down the drain... mike

I believe they were. Dutch, German, most likely Italian, French, UK not sure about Spanish and Portuguese. Most likely all Eastern -communist- countries weren't. mike

I called yesterday, agent told me that the haven't got the test results yet... ...from March 1st test. I guess that makes Ottawa Office the slowest in the whole country. mike

Big Ceremony in Ottawa and Toronto (50.000+) that would be it! I am in... ...probably a logistic nightmare. :) mike

Ok, I think we are drifting away...coming back to the original post. Dear Sir, I have two 'engineers' (I shouldn't use the word engineer here because of the law although both of them are highly qualified to do the job and they fill a critical gap we have not being able to fill by a Canadian...

Canada has probably more opportunities -other than engineering disciplines and/or health services- than Germany that's why we are here. We have a live after work... mike

This is not an argument but a killer phrase used when I don't have any argument anymore. What you call complain, I call democracy, the right to share my opinion, denounce inequity and yes we are good with that. We brought down a wall through that. To be honest, when we are in Germany we have...

Yes, there is a whole continent. It has nothing to do with checking credentials. Checking credentials is done every where, that's totally ok and has to be done, but the rest is close to discriminating. Have you actually went through the process? Do you know what is required? Or do you just...

Your engineering qualification will not automatically be accredited in Canada. In Ontario (don't think Quebec is much different, NB, NS, PEI are all the same) you have to go through a tedious program in order to even use the the term 'engineer' in you job description. An assessment is required...

I tell you, this is the pay back for complaining to the public. The more we complain the longer we'll have to wait. They shows us who's in charge. This is a typical reaction of all bureaucrats, not a Canadian phenomena. Unfortunately this is part of human irrational brain function (David G...

... ok, add that to my list form above. mike

It's a structural problem and it is homemade. If you ask me I would: 1) Make it VERY attractive for foreign companies to settle, this involves small businesses. The opposite took place, overblown bureaucazy, the minimum investment levels continuously increased, one road block after the other...

Guys, face it, this was to be expected. We complained, immigrant aliens to the public press, what do you expect? Very understandable, not a Canadian phenomena. The stubborn bureaucrats paying us back for this... New applicants have -obviously- not complained and will be processed faster (and...

Well, remember that interrogation you went through before you entered the test room? Your documents (passports, stamps, etc.) did not convince the officer that you were truthful about your residence in Canada when you applied for citizenship. OR he /she had a bad day or their boss drought...

This a bit off-topic: Her's what you should do if you have concerns about your health and safety being affected in a work environment. You contact the MOL or EAP (Ministry of Labor or Employee Assistance Program). Both will treat your concerns strictly confidential and you'll remain anonymous...

I like to underline this. Especially when a safety inspector shows up on site to investigate the allegations. If there is interference with the inspectors work leading to delays or shutdowns and all allegations are proofed halt-less as a result of the inspection than the former employer might...
