Hi Everyone,
First of all congratulations to those who recently received good news
Some of you may have seen a thread I started in September under Family Class sponsorship about PhD research I'm doing on experiences of the Family Class application process and an anonymous online survey for people who are currently going through or recently finished the process. My goal is that my results can be used for advocacy to make improvements to the system for people who want to sponsor family members in the future.
I'm still looking for lots more people to respond to the survey as the more people respond the stronger the results will be. In particular I’m looking for people who are not well-represented in the data I have already, which includes people who are applying through the various VOs in Africa. So if any of you are interested in telling me about your experiences with, and recommendations for, the sponsorship process I'd like to invite you to go to https://survey.ryerson.ca:443/s?s=4526
On the first page you'll find more information about the survey, and at the bottom a link to click on to start the survey. The survey can be done in English or French. The moderators of this forum have given me permission to post about the survey.
Thanks so much everyone and best wishes to those whose applications are ongoing
