I'm afraid you misunderstood my post. They already have this "flexibility" - the current wording just ensures that the implementation takes less than one year (i.e., they have 1-365 days to implement). The proposed change removes this, which means that, in theory, they can take more than one...

Does anyone know why the libs are changing this "(3.1) Subsections 3(2) to (4), subsections 4(1) and (3) and section 5.1 come into force one year after the day on which this Act receives royal assent or on any earlier day or days that may be fixed by order of the Governor in Council." into...

This page (https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen/check-if-you-can-apply) disagrees with you: "lived in the UK for at least the 5 years before the date of your application"

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence...

a previous ruling took him a day or so

you need to define "delay" here; if you mean 'delay tactic' then no. the libs (or independents) raised the point of order (they could simply vote down the amendment, but they decided to deal with it this way), they debated about this point of order, now the speaker will do his own research...

nothing - the speaker needs time to rule on the point of order

Wait until the speaker rules on it.

Let's stop feeding trolls.

Ohh.. so that's why you are pissed about pre-pr credit for students/workers... Your wife does not get any credit while student/workers can get such credit, so you believe pre-pr credit must be nuked. You should have started with it, and we would not have such a long 'debate' :)

You used inland process, meaning your spouse had to reside in Canada at least at the time the application was submitted. As you said, you married outside of Canada, which means that she entered Canada as your spouse and as a visitor with an intention to be sponsored for PR. Did she disclose such...

Let's assume you are right (you are not, but just for fun let's do this). Then it means that CIC wrongfully granted PRs to literally thousands of students under CEC program. They also wrongfully granted thousands of post-grad work permits... Don't you think that CIC would have noticed that they...

I'm afraid you are confusing "overstaying" with the requirement to leave the country (like the one J1 students have in US). Student visa holders are not required to leave Canada, they are required to not overstay the duration of the visa. These are different things.

Your signature states "2012 Canada Inland Spousal Sponsorship Timeline", so I assume you or your spouse immigrated to Canada through the sponsorship program. Since it was "inland" program, you/your spouse must have been residing IN Canada. Did you/your spouse lied on to the visa officer at the...

Our debate started with you saying that student/workers have to promise not to immigrate to Canada or that they lied during the application if their intention was to immigrate; and now we are discussing what student/work visas are for :) I'm not arguing with you that students/workers are...

How is this question relevant to PR application (previous/future) or dual intent? It asks you about whether you applied for any visa to Canada in the past (and if you look around that question, that whole section is there to help the VO assess the risk of applicant overstaying in the country)

Yes, you are completely right. The officer must be convinced that the applicant will not overstay. It has nothing to do with applicant's right to legally live in Canada. In many cases, one can even adjust his/her status while being in Canada. Unrelated example, many spouses of Canadians come to...

Visitors/students/workers do not usually interview with the Canadian VO during the application process. They submit the required documents and that's all; none of the documents asks them to "promise" not to immigrate to Canada, nor it asks whether they have applied for PR in the past. (For the...

Well, there is a thing called 'dual intent'. It's recognised by both Canada and US, and I think by other countries as well. It's perfectly legal to want to visit/study/work AND immigrate at the same time. Sorry, but your statement re "the applicant agreed to leave Canada" is completely out of...

While some people (and probably the majority here) don't like Harper, we cannot deny the fact that he was able to get sh*t done. So maybe the libs can learn a thing or two from him.
