Better hope the mugs aren't being delivered by the same turtle carrying CJG's visa. Hmmm, maybe the turtle is so busy delivering mugs... :eek:

Yeah, he isn't doing the process right. If you follow the GortMethod(TM) you can be done in 7 months! To do it right you should be on your back, kicking and screaming, stopping occasionally to come here to rant and moan about how long it is taking. In those posts you must include at least 5 of the following:

- You are a Canadian citizen
- PRs should not be allowed to sponsor family
- if PRs are allowed to sponsor then citizen apps should have preference
- That everyone in the tagalog threads should be speaking English
- You paid the normal fees all up front, so your app is supposed to be faster than everyone else's
- You forced your wife to not list dependents so your app should be faster
- If you can't have sex with your spouse then Kenney/CIC staff should also not be allowed
- You are cancelling your app cause you miss sex
- You are cancelling your app, divorcing, and finding a new woman in <insert nearest city>
- The whole process is a joke
- Most here don't deserve fast processing, but YOU do
- You spent a lot of money on extravagant expenses, but it is all CICs fault
- Manila has a TRV scam for $75, they never grant any and they know in advance they won't
- TRVs are processed faster which is unfair
- They are all out for your money
- Your spouse is more important than <insert name>'s spouse
- Your spouse is more important than everyone else's spouse
- <insert name>'s situation isn't as deserving of attention as yours
- Nobody's situation isn't as deserving of attention as yours
- <insert group> should/shouldn't be allowed <insert civil right>
- <insert number> of people in my/our lives have died and it is CICs fault
- My taxes pay their salaries so they should process me faster
- I should be allowed to not pay taxes because I have to wait
- I'm <insert age> she's <insert age> (means you are more entitled to be processed faster.

Be sure to separate all incoherent ramblings with the proper number of "...".

I hope I got them all. Oh, and most important, don't complain or get off your butt to do any inquiry with CEM or your MP or order GCMS notes on your own. Just rant here and annoy everyone and watch the GortMethod(TM) work its magic!

Start doing this and you will see a difference immediately! And if you act now the usage fees will be waved. Just tell everyone you used the GortMethod(TM) so we can get some word-of-mouth advertising.

:p

Dang, the list just keeps growing as I remember all the stuff. I think I will stop there... It has most of the major ones...

Banned? I don't think so. Just unwelcome. Polgas would go into fits whenever Gort posted anything, even somewhat harmless stuff.

I'm not tired of it. It just takes me forever to get caught up on the conversation......and yes I do run but only because by 2pm I really have to take a piss and there isn't a public washroom anywhere near the area I deliver in.

Great post Scos. I'm still laughing.

Oh! Another great idea!!!

Immi-gripe(R)

A new 1-800 service from CIC. Call the number and get connected to a specially modified Siri server that will listen to your rants and insults for up to 15 minutes. Some sample responses:

"Thank you for offering to put your application there sir"
"Yes sir, I am full of *censored word*"
"I am so sorry for everything we have ever done to you or will in the future"
"Of course sir, we always extend medicals for as long as you like"
"I'm sorry we haven't been able to process your application sir. We have been using it as a foot stool."
"You are right, I suck. Would you like to insult me some more? Press 1 for more insults, Press 2 for threats and abuse"

and, of course in a product tie-in

"Have you tried using the GortMethod(TM) in the forum at www.canadavisa.com?"

Lol. that was a great laugh @SCOS.


You need to spend $40,000 for your trips to Philippines and tell everyone in the forum about it. :p

And yes, make sure to tell people to speak English because they are going to Canada. However, make sure that you post with poor grammar and unnecessary punctuations.

I think I'm gonna miss gort's posts now. ;D ;D
