No FSW this year .. July 2012

[Cappuccino]

Dude PMM is also referring to the same news.. if the news is wrong.. PMM is wrong... :-X

PMM is merely linking the news article. People must make up their own minds as to how likely it is that this article is true.

Well how can you be so sure that this is not a rumour?? ???
All the news is same.. posted by 'Postmedia news' which is an independent news agency.. whats the authenticity of such claim?
To me.. its very much a rumour till it is proved..

Even I feel that this news is not correct or may be manupulated. Freezing FSW just two days ahead of re opening of window is not small decision. Especially when people all around world are concerned. If they want to freeze I feel they will atleat publish it couple of months ahead. May be next year !!!

i agree... they are not that rude to inform us just 1 day ahead... common guys... can u just wait for official statement first before posting here... it's not a good idea posting such... blessed are your hearts...

They have always been rude....dont you remember last year that cap of 1122 reached on 8th July and they informed in mid august. So anything is expected from Canada's Immigration minister. They are not as smart as Australians who have been publishing details of their new immigration system (starting from 1st July 2012) since last year. Though I have already posted my application, however I still believe that the rumor and articles have substance in them, otherwise these newspaper will not publish details without any reason.
