Hi

I have a question on behalf of a friend. Hope its ok to ask. My friend has also applied for immigration:

Now my friend had sent bank document stating the account number and money with all documents. This account is a joint one with her and her father (as second person, she is first name holder). I read on forum that it will not be accepted so i told her. She is very worried about it. Now what to do. She has opened an individual account but can she give this account number when visa office ask for fresh bank statement? What can she do? She need your help and guidance.
Thanks!

Canada needs to accept fewer applications from people wanting to live here, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says, and he's eyeing the family class for cuts.

Canada is facing too big a backlog and, despite accepting 254,000 applications every year, there are one million people who are waiting to hear whether they can move to Canada, the citizenship and immigration minister said Thursday.

Canada gets about 420,000 applications every year and refuses about 10 per cent of those.

Speaking to the House committee on citizenship and immigration, Kenney said processing applications faster won't fix the backlog problem. And it isn't possible to accept enough people to deal with it either.

The only options, he said, are to vastly increase acceptances, or take fewer applications and keep processing the ones already received.

"Those are the only two possible solutions. It's a math problem," Kenney told reporters after the committee meeting.
Cut family class applications

Kenney pointed to the family class, under which parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens can immigrate. His department received 37,500 applications in 2010 but admits 18,500. Right now, there's a 10-year wait time for processing.

"Merely for us just to tread water, we would have to double the number of people coming into that program ... and that wouldn't even reduce the backlog," he said.

Kenney said other countries require a minimal family income, private health insurance or a bond to limit parent and grandparent applications.

Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland said Kenney's right to suggest a cap on the parents and grandparents category.

"Unless you solve the intake problem, you're going to have a growing backlog with growing processing times and it's time to bite the bullet," he told reporters after the committee meeting.

Kurland said a 20,000 cap is appropriate, and that the government should break the applicants into categories.

"Bring in as priority one the single parents overseas. Priority two is you bring in parents where the families can pony up $75,000 up front to defray medicare costs, either with permanent resident visa on payment or [for $75,000] give that family a 10-year visitor visa to Canada and that way they can be here waiting until their number comes up in the immigration inventory overseas."

Speaking to Rosemary Barton on CBC's Power & Politics, Kenney called the $75,000 payment "a very interesting idea."

"I've heard similar ideas about asking people to share in a greater portion of the social and health-care costs. And maybe that's one practical way of bringing more fairness while limiting the number of new applications so we can avoid the big backlogs. That's a very valid idea," he said.

The Conservative government and previous Liberal governments averaged about 18,000 parent and grandparent entrants a year, he added.

Kenney says the department is launching consultations on cutting the backlog.

NDP immigration critic Don Davies said reducing parent and grandparent applications is the wrong way to go.

"What I object to the most is the minister has come into this so-called study, these meetings, with a preconceived conclusion. The only policy tool that he's looking at is capping applications. Well, that's not the only policy tool available to the minister," Davies said.

He wants Canada to accept another 100,000 immigrants every year, arguing a per capita measurement doesn't make sense because the country has so much space

I can see some positives for Pre-June 2010 applicants in the above discussion.....

Atleast they are thinking to further Cap the new applicants and increase the number of admissions in to Canada to manage the backlog...... ITS GOOD....
 
i think they will do 2 things;

1- cut parents program and add those numbers into economic programs.

2- cap parents program.
so its definitely good news for all FSW applicants...

Haral,

I will slightly disagree with you. I have watched complete presenation of Kenney in Parlimentary Committee. Canadian govt is under huge pressure from Canadians to process applications for parent and grand parents. If they cut numbers from this catogory, they will end up in piling a huge inventory. I think they may deal it the other way. Like issuing 10 years multiple visa and getting upfront insurance premium for the providing health benefits to those parents. FSW will be most effected in all cases as we are not a priority for them (Only Pre-june).

Its the best possible solution.
Can we call our parents on visit visa after getting PR?

I have also listen to the complete hearing and Agree with you dear...... We Pre-june are the sufferers in any case....
 
hmm you have a point there... but the thing is they cant possible let this monsterous FSW backlog linger on. if they do that it will pile up on them like s..t....so i think they know by now they cant get to that in time immigration thing if they keep this backlog the way it is now..so i persume they are going to go for it in 2012 & 2013 and start afresh in 2014.
