You're absolutely right. I never thought about it that way... God help us... and he certainly will!
Sometimes when I am extremely bored, I read old threads dating back more than a decade. Anway, just recently, I was reading late 2009/2010 Damascus thread. And you will not believe how unfair the system has been towards Mid Easterns. Iranians have been treated like sh*t for ever now. The people in that thread were all feeling hopeless just as we are today. They would read other sponsors get good news within 5-6 months and they would get a PPR letter at least a year and a couple of months in. It is the same for Africans. Basically, if you are not a westerner, your country is not a part of NATO, you are doomed. The irony is, the liberal government promised to do better than the conservatives. They said family reunifications are a top priority. I am going into 9 months. You are going into or well into 10 months, and look at us---- still waiting. Meanwhile, people that applied after us are either in Canada or waiting on their passports to return.
Africans and Middle Easterns are treated like dirt from their governments and the west. They don't win- ever!
