Torotonsm is a troll on this site, he has an IQ of a 10yrs old child, he lacks critical reasoning.....I suspect he is posting from his parents basement
If you've got something against the arguments raised by torontosm, then you come out and address those arguments. You don't attack the person, and you don't call him vulgar names.
By attacking the person, you've not only shown that you have no real arguments against what he says, you've essentially demonstrated that you yourself carry the negative characteristics you're attributing to him: you have an average 10 year old's IQ and lack the ability to critically and maturely address any issue.
The last fact stated by torontosm is correct: paying taxes does not in any way entitle you to eligibility for citizenship (correct in the sense that it can be proved so by pointing relevant citizenship law).
In general, I find that those who spent pre-PR time in Canada don't really have any valid arguments as to why it's unfair to eliminate the counting of pre-PR time for residence purposes,
other than the fact that it inconveniences them. They try and try to appeal to emotions by saying they've been paying taxes and contributing to society but those arguments don't hold water when viewed from the side of someone not in that pre-PR group. Like I said before, if one person pays tax, everyone has to pay tax, and taxes are not conditional on anything else. What you're saying in essence is "I want to work in this country but since I'm not a permanent resident (yet) I should be exempt from taxes." You don't pass the laughing test.
As for you contributing to society (if we take the word in its literal sense), I bet a lot of Canadians beg to differ. They would see that you came here to study but then took work off campus that could be filled by a Canadian. Contribute to society my a**. You filled your own wallet with income that needs half a lifetime to be earned in some countries.
There you have it! Come out and say this isn't true (without calling ME names this time).
