IRCC has sympathies with the students that is why they introduced this temporary 2-Stage process. I have never scene IRCC changing a process in the past to accommodate applications. They could have easily gone thru the regular process which they always had followed and no one would had the power to challenge it, but instead, for the sake of students, they did. Why not for visitors and/or Work Permit? Tourists bring money as well, Worker earn and pay taxes as well, but they understand that the students are feeling the pressure of delayed process.
Always try to think rationally instead of irrationally and you might end up having a great conversation with yourself.
No, you're wrong here. They could not have gone through the earlier study permit process as easily as you make it out to be. And again, it's misrepresenting to say that no one would have challenged it if they had not made a 2 stage processing change.
Because if they hadn't made this change, then all students would have either withdrawn & asked for a refund or everyone would have deferred for the fall. Implication is that there would have been a very, very negligible number of international student intake for fall 2020, resulting in their economy putting $22 billion in jeopardy. This is the amount that we international students bring in every year.
It's money at the end of the day. They haven't given us alms by introducing this 2 stage process so please don't make it seem so. In fact, they're yet to decide when and whether / not they'll allow students with full approval before March 18th to enter.
I speak for myself so I'll proudly say that I've qualified for the opportunity to study there at a prestigious university in a highly selective program. And I'm not being allowed to travel & enter despite having full approval before March 18th, just because my online classes are supposedly "non-essential". While US students enter Canada everyday easily with fully online classes, coming from the worst-hit country.
So it's not that we students are expecting something that we don't deserve in the first place. It's been years worth of outstanding academic standing, time, energy, effort, hardwork, sacrifices, struggle, blood & sweat thays gone into reaching this stage now. We need to be treated fairly & justly now. A pandemic cannot & should not ruin someone's lifetime worth of work & the very chance & motivation to live life.
Please don't patronize students here by putting out demotivating posts to quell our dissent when we have complaints.
