Are you being sponsored by your husband or sponsoring him
 
You did the right thing.. everyone should write to the press. As I dont think MP will help, I prepared a letter to 'expedite spousal immigration procress at CHC-Islamabad' gather 40 signatures from freinds and family called MP office to submit it to the parliment and to the immigration minister and MP refused. You all should try doing that and talk to your MP. If MP refused to do that write a letter to the media, submit a letter explaining your story and life long time taking for spousal immigration process. I urge every Pakistani to write to the press, we have to work for our right. following are the e-mail addresses for the media and speaker of the parliment also the auditor general of canada ..

pakivette . Good luck with your plan, as about ONE month back did the same thing and encourge every body on the forum to do so here and plus on other forums also If you check my past pots even I pasted the letter on the forum so that others can copy past the same letter with their own name.

Sorry to say buy other than few peoples all the rest members just sat & kept quite. We are good in criticising each other and talking big on the forum but in reality as a PKSTNI we are not able to do anything good for the community, I was leading the role for this plan but than gave up and change my mind just like to other's, with the concept sit back and keep quite its not my problem. I wish you best of luck with this.
Cheers

u shud not discourage anyone from taking initiatives.just coz u did nt succeed does nt mean all the others will fail.plus i read ur previous posts u seem to have other ISSUES....
U R NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WRITE LETTERS. PAKVITE GOOD JOB AND THANX FOR THE INITIATIVE.
 

nice one lol!

and good job pakivette

I will be sending them emails too
 
If sending letters to media help immigration change their policies, then i can do it. However, i don't think so, it will help. However we all can draft up a letter and sign anonymously send it to 680 and CP24. if this can be an opportunity for us to improve immigration system so be it.
Let me make this point, our reputation in this community is zero, because some of our Pakistani people i know who has taken the disadvantage of this system to get here and has made difficult for future sponsors.....We are the one to be blamed for such an increased security.

Oh well, let me stay on positive sight, in the hope of next week, INSHA ALLAH everyone or SOMEONE will get to hear some good news.
 
Hello everyone .. Here are my 2 cents

Tell me people of which country does not take disadvantage of any system ? You think chinese/indians/sri lankans/afghanis/africans/europeans did not take any disadvantage of any canadian social system? People do take advantage of the system, if its weak structurally or if its not fool proof. But that does not mean, people who are right and not playing with the system should be effected. This is the reason we are here in West, if we had to live in an unjust system, we were better off in our home country. DONOT discount yourself by saying some from pakistan, did this/that and we all have to pay for it. Dont let them put you in a guilt trip.


We should maybe, try to get some statistical information of the spousal immigration process in pakistan and find out where the bottle neck is. Maybe make a group of 4-5 people or more, who are in the same situation and we all goto MPs of our area in a group and raise our concern. Its just a thought, I am pretty open to any ideas..

I am sponsering my husband.
 
Well.... I have asked this many time on the forum myself, but never really got a chance to put it all together.. Those who want to do something about this... please arrange for a meeting, so that we can all meet up and strategize how to go about this... We need to go to these places...i really wish if we can have a walk in October... a silent protest.. that will automatically get media and government attention. I even gave out my e-mail address on this forum asking for people who want to second me on this walk but believe it or not i didnt get a single reply...

i am all up for it, but MP does nothing at all. Take my case, I use to live in a area where MP told me off, that don't call me everytime(upon leaving gazzalion messages to call me back) NOt a response and how the hell can he get back to me that it is still in the process. First time you talk to them they are nice to you, second time go back to them, they will react as if they don't know you. Moved to another area, called the MP, he can't help me because by that time i have already appoint a lawyer and said can't help me because i already have a lawyer, which was pretty much easy to understand. The feedback i got there are about 500 cases of spouses in my area that are being sponsored eith by husbands or wives.

I think media coverage will be good, although they cover stupid stories of fake marriages on the news, why the hell not cover the stories of people who are suffering.
