guys, i've been reading other country's immigration programs particularly that of australia, dunno if anyone of you have knowledge about it but here it is... in australia you have two options, one, apply for it and pay just around $9k for both parents but processing times is 22 years. secondly, apply for it and pay humongous amount of $89k but you can have your visa done in 2 years only. thats the dilema aply or not to aply. years back, Canada had been copying australia's immigration policies specifically that of skilled workers. in short, new policies for parents are being polishd while it still at pausd for two years and these new policies would most likely resemble that of australia's. do you think so? so i guess those whose papers are already on file give your best shot, do good, from your medicals to the documents they require you. this is just my observation but feel free to do the search and see for your self.
