from 19 to 21 to 25 the citizenship time

[free]

if you have checked the process of citizenship the regular process was 19 months in a few months ago but in a few months they increased it to 25,that is while kenney said that ,in tweet ,they are gonna work on it to reduce to 12 months

That's what is considered to be false promises. We can expect all the processing times go up now.

I am sure this government will stuck in the pile of applications of skilled workers and citizenship ,plus they have many other visas to proceed.they may get an insane decision to do something unexpected like the way that they eliminated 280,000 file of the skilled workers of the backlog last year

And knowing that the government have reduced the amount of cic employees... That's not fair.

yes,the fact is that they do not have enough funding for employing more,and the bureaucratic government of canada mostly todays suffer from slow processing and gigantic paper work which is not compatible to 21 century

 

[Suin]

Well, they could hire more people at least to clear the backlog... They contradict themselves.

they need to pay the employee but they do not have budget ,they have already lay offs every where in public sector and in government,they cannot reduce unemployment ,look at canadian unemployment for more than decades ,they could not reduce the unemployment from 8% to less than half at anytime,and look at same period in USA THEY HAD UNEMPLOYMENT to 4% in sometime

It's a structural problem and it is homemade. If you ask me I would:

1) Make it VERY attractive for foreign companies to settle, this involves small businesses.
The opposite took place, overblown bureaucazy, the minimum investment levels continuously increased, one road block after the other. Try to settle a company operating in more than one province, good luck with that. There might be good intentions to protect home industries but it is better to have three bad companies die and one good one become prosperous.

2) Make it very attractive for foreign qualified personal to settle (every country needs meds, engineers, experts).
The opposite took place, Permanent Residency requirements went through the roof, MLO required for work permits, citizenship applications backlog etc. Become a P.Eng or doctor in a province -> go back to school no matter of your education and/or experience level. What a waste of resources!

3) Become a country not a bunch of individual operating provinces.
The opposite happened, HST failed (some provinces started to charge add'l provincial tax again), the western provinces and Quebec are driving separation. Not even a P.Eng in Ontario can practice in NB or vise versa (or any other than his home province), you have to go to an exam. How stupid is this and what a waste of resources and efforts.
Everybody in this country just stakes his claims, like in the past century and the government is supporting this by laws (e.g. Engineering Act of Ontario). Canada will not be able to compete internationally in the long term with these procedures in place and will become more and more dependent from the US. A 53'rd state...

Don't get me wrong, I love Canada for it's beauty, for its traditions, for its wonderful people -incl. us, the immigrant aliens, but not for it's government, which is corrupt and a gang of lobbyists. So that's why we need to make it better!

exactly,I have not seen any country full of these regulations of Pen,registered nurses,and etc.they are accepting new immigrants in 2013 in skilled workers so we will see a new wave of people who come here and become jobless,unemployment in new immigrants is higher than national average and sometimes come to 20%,even unemployment in northern provinces is 13% above 7.2% national average,i think this country get used to lines of thousands of jobless people for decades
