We are in the process already, so who cares if they will make it harder or not. We should focus on if they will make our files finalized faster, and I can see that Conservative will help us. From Cicnews, it said below is what Conservative is planning to do:
They want to allow applicants to pay a fee to have their processing expedited. The revenues from these fees will go toward hiring additional staff to address administrative backlogs. They also want to speed up application processing by reducing red tape, streamlining applications, and using resources to their full potential.
The Conservatives also want a more fair immigration system. Not only do they want to move operations online, they also want to record all interactions between immigration officers and applicants. They say this would be “to help ensure oversight, fairness, and
accountability” in the immigration system.

yes but they can blab all they want, but if you look at their track record, its exactly the opposite of what theyre promising. under conservatives before Trudeau:
-Canada adopted a far more hostile stance towards Canadian spouses sponsoring a foreign spouse where processing times have increased by up to 500 per cent over the past decade under conservatives. This was largely due to the debilitating 2011 budget cuts imposed by the Conservative government.
-Conservative government also reduced the age of eligible dependents qualifying for family reunification from 22 to 19.
-Conservatives quadrupled fees and doubled processing times (for citicenship). They changed the law so applicants had to wait longer to qualify and no longer receive credit for time spent in Canada as students, or work permit holders (this was then reversed by Trudeau's govt).
-In 2012, the conservatives orchestrated the termination of close to 300,000 skilled worker applications, the largest backlog in Canada’s history while reneging on promises that their credentials would be evaluated under previous criteria.
- under conservatives, the government increased refusal rates thus preventing thousands of employers and temporary foreign workers across Canada from renewing their work permits.

im not saying Trudeau (or Singh) are perfect, but Conservative's track doesnt smell good for immigration.
