Interesting news article re:imminent changes

[Suin]

Great news! As a Canadian citizen I strongly support Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. The citizenship residency requirement should be increased to 6 out of 8 yrs, not 4 out 6 yrs. There are too many immigrants in Canada, and something needs to be done!

Are you born in Canada or naturalized?

They have been talking about it for a while. Let us see when it actually happens. As for Jan 2014, I am not very optimistic since those MPs like to enjoy their winter vacation

But why drum this up again at the end of 2013? It's highly likely the bill will be submitted & passed early in 2014. Every Canadian citizen wants it. This is a very popular move by Harper and his gang who are gearing up for the upcoming election.

What's up? I am a naturalized citizen.

Actually I am the one who broke the news here a couple of months ago.

Now even National Post covers this story:

http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/12/27/as-canadian-citizenship-rules-face-an-overhaul-by-the-harper-government-in-2014-heres-what-to-expect/

The change is coming soon. They were just testing the water, and now they realized they are ready for this early next year. So they are firing a final warning shot at the end of 2013.

Read the comments section. Everyone welcomes this change.

Wonderful news that we finally have a government willing to tackle a very contentious issue, and yet it must be addressed since there is so much mutilation of the meaning of a Canadian citizenship, one of the best prizes in the world.[quote/]

I knew there's no way that they will make every PR a citizen after they let in record numbers of immigrants in recent yrs. I knew this was coming.

Not every PR can become citizen anyway even without the citizenship application/process. I know quite a few immigrants who went back to where they came from. They couldn't find a job in their field or they were not happy with their life in Canada and went elsewhere including their home country.

I think record number of immigration is becoming unpopular esp in this challenging economic environment.

Whenever I read news about immigration, comments are usually against it.

If that bill becomes a law in January, I will be really impressed how efficient Canadian legislative process is.

I worked at a retail bank as an account manager and I opened so many accounts to newcomers. Most of them came thru skilled worker program and some of them didn't even speak English. I am surprised how they were able to get their PR approved under that category.

After a year or so I would see same clients running out of money and closing their accounts and going back to their home countries.

Now you get the picture? It's all about money. Canada lets in almost everyone who wants in and then fleeces them off their savings and kicks them out when they run out of money. This is called immigration industry. Canada is like a revolving door.

Of course, it is a nice way to keep the economy growing.
Canada doesn't bring immigrants out of the goodness of heart. It is very pragmatic and strategic.

Now you see what I'm talking about. It's all planned out!

That was the govt plan, at least one of the options. Let people in and let them sink or swim. The basic goal is to extort cash/taxes. Reverse colonization, process which the powers are so addicted to. Canada is run like a corporation for the profit of stakeholders.

Sink or swim is how the world works, not just Canada. I don't think too many people who came here were living for free on the government's dime in their own countries.
