The Announcement

This statement has been issued as part of the larger Federal Budget for 2012, which was released on 29 March. The budget includes information for reducing national deficit and creating more fiscally efficient government infrastructure, an integral part of which is tied to immigration policy and processing times. As part of this plan, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), is expected to reduce its operating costs by $179 million over the next three years.

The budget mentions that "Canada risks losing the global talent competition for the world's best and brightest as potential immigrants choose to take their skills to other countries with more responsive immigration systems rather than remain in the queue to have their applications process in Canada".

I read it will not affect all applicants.. It depends on how far long your processing is. So Ig, Mrs Ali, cool down. But for the rest of us, all the best. Remember, things are not as bad as they first appear to be and ALWAYS will work for your good. I know this like I know my mother's name. IT IS WELL.

As for Kenny ............
 
People,

We need to be thinking of a plan very quickly. If we take it individually then we are going to suffer. If we take it collectively, we may have a class action suit here. Lets give it a thought for 24 hours, then let us plan how we are going to beat this. We have waited on our hands for too long. Now is the time to do something.
 
@ All, It is well.......tough times don't last, but tough people do. I implore you to take heart.
 
Thanks iii.

Hello Everybody,

WE need to collectively raise our voice against this injustice.
We can do it,as of now it is just a proposal at the moment.
This needs to be validated at the parliament soon... as per the below quoted lines...

We should not sit and discuss this but find ways so that our voice / cries should be felt in the parliament
and a harsh decisions should be stopped before it is imposed on us...

"
Q5. How would I get my refund?

More details on the proposed change will be announced soon. Once the proposal is approved through Parliament, CIC will begin to return the fees.

Details will be available on the CIC website"
