I am pretty disgusted by this whole thread.... I too was affected by the changes brought about by Bill C-24, but that's life. Suck it up, we are all here because Canada ACCEPTED us to move here - it was NOT our right to move here, it was a massive PRIVILEGE!!! We could all have still been in the "crappy" places we moved from.... If we all previously lived in "paradise", we would never have wanted to move to Canada, which is most probably a better place to live, compared to where we came from.
Having said that, nobody on here REALLY knows EXACTLY what will happen, and when it will happen - right now, most people on here are trying to be more clever than the next, second guessing everything.
I would much rather the government do immigration PROPERLY, than just rush a bunch of people into the country. Afterall, most of us that moved here permanently, and that were affected by C24 or might benefit from C-6, have PR, just not a passport. So for now, the only difference is we cannot vote - big deal if we have to wait a little longer. I read how a lot of people on here keep on moaning and groaning - as if it's our RIGHT to become Citizens - people, it's a privilege as I already noted.
Heck, a lot of people complaining on here, cannot even spell properly, and some's grammar leaves much to be desired.... You are angry that you're not yet a Citizen - learn to write properly and spell properly before you become so angry for not having a passport. Heck, these forums even spell check FOR you....
