Hello. I have been following this post and would like to give an opinion if I may. First of all a strike seems like a very bad idea as you have no union and therefor no protection from your individual employers. What I would recommend is writing a petition and have not only people waiting on PR. but also those who have already endured this most ridiculous process sign it. The Government listens to numbers!!! The other option I would recommend would be to contact Jason Kenney's office personally. When I called to make inquiries I got through no problem and it only took me 5 minuets to discover his contact information is 1168 137 Ave SE
