I highly doubt having something on Pakistani shows would make any difference.

I think it is not realistic approach to have something on Pakistani show where it has no impact on Canadian government policies.

We should try to get as much supposrt and head count from people on these forums, try to get friends and family on board and book a meeting with MP or immigration minister.

Something like town hall meeting where 100+ people can show up and raise this with Minister or MP.

I think first we should start gathering people and make sure we are all on same page.

If anything has to be done then it should be here in Canada. It is not Pakistani government issue where Supreme court of Pakistani can take suo-moto.

We have to take realistic approach on how to persue this rather than being idealistic.


I think we should do whatever we can. And this is the issue faced by OSPS so I think Pakistani government must play a part in resolving it. just my point.
 
Let me check next week if we can get hold oh anyone.

Then we should see how many people are interested to join ...

I will keep you guys posted

Sure, I am up for anything. Its just that I am from Calgary area so we cant really launch a protest here. I believe mostly people are from Toronto so they should go ahead with the peaceful protest.

Hello Everyone,

I have been monitoring this forum for a year now and would like to thank everyone for their posts and discussions. Finally registering today :)

Also would like to thanks people who have shared their dates which has really helped figuring the direction processing time is taking.

Here are my details:

I have sponsored my wife.

Medical, Jan 2012 (Now expired)
Applied Feb, 2012
File Transfer May 2012 (got email from ottawa email address)

In november contacted my MP and found application is still sitting is Mississauga. I was told they do not know why. Later the immigration officer told MP that everything is alrite and it is in process (the standard statement they give to everyone)

Few details my MP gave:

It is good that file is transferred to Ottawa
Ottawa works on checks and later sends application to Islamabad
Apparently data is shared using centralized system which means docs are available to Ottawa and ISL

What I did to meet wife:
Visit visas for USA are not a problem these days from Pak. If you have someone where your spouse can stay in US then make them get visit visa. atleast you can meet very often that way.


I wish and pray everyone get updates on their Applications quickly.


Fahad
 
I've been reading the posts and have a couple of comments.

1. Basil good luck. I feel bad for ur child.

2. If you guys are serious about raising our collective voices I'm in. Let's get our voice heard. We need numbers and influence. In my opinion we should be targeting our local media before any foreign outlets. I think the Olivia chow idea was a good one or if we have the numbers let's call jkenney... Anyways I'm in.

3. Welcome felahi, may your time pass quickly.
 
Yes, I think we really need to do something productive about this scam against pakistani's regarding our timeline. They are doing this on purpose, they is no rationale reason to the increase. Im in, i say we go after kenny and show him the injustice.
 
Came across this and thought to share it with everyone going through these difficult times with all these issues surrounding immigration:


The Dua of Yunus:

The Prophet SAW said in the hadith recorded by At-Tirmithi and others:

The invocation of my brother Dhu-n-Nun, "None has the right to be worshipped save You;glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers," none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah SWT would relieve him of his difficulty.

La ila ha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minazzalimeen(Ch. Al-Anbiya (21): vs. 87)

lets join to do something
the place might b tronto or it must b mississauga
the day must b sunday or sat as it is a holiday everyone can reach there
good luck
I m also with u guys
 
The best place will be Ottawa that is were recently people protested against slowness in Ottawa http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gWxGbYxcCqytRvSERc4gL58EULpw?docId=CNG.712bac5a2e36c5ab3750c50d4058c01b.441

We need to do same so that it shows more people are concerned. I can make a temporary webpage if it is needed. I am new in Canada (Montreal) so I don't know Pakistani communities, so if there are any Pakistani organization get them involved and lets protest in large numbers in the Capital.
 
Hi guys, count me in as well....

I would recommend organizing something in Toronto instead of Ottawa because there are more chances of ppl meeting up in Toronto(GTA) then in OTTAWA.

I found an online petition which may also help our cause:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/protest-against-the-canadian-high-comission-in/
 
OH I love how everyone is coming together :D
 
I honestly dont know if petitions are useful or not - if somebody does please comment and im ready to sign it.
Can someone start writing an email that we can send off to Olivia chow and other respective authorities.

I don't know how effective these petitions are, but it doesn't hurt to take part in them. We need to show solidarity with numbers andwe need to tell the government that if they want our vote, they need to listen.

Some options for helping our cause:

* Letters\Emails\Faxes to Canadian Politicians
* Letters to Pakistani Officials to boost security and cooperation with Canada(Canadian government blames the security situation in Pakistan for the delays)
* Organized Street Protests
* Emails\letters\Faxes to Canadian Media (i.e. Newspapers)
* Petitions

It doesn't matter what route we take, we need to stick together.
