Could you audit to see who destroy our spreadsheet and cancel his access from that IP address?

Noticed user reg828 made $0.00 change.
I am locking the spreadsheet down. If possible please send me PM with your GMAIL account. We need regular members to be added so they can update spreadsheet on behalf on users.

2010 applicants could see additional document request soon.

The link above is released via CIC, but I was reading Globe and Mail - here it is

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ottawa-to-welcome-older-immigrants-to-clear-backlog/article4954532/

Some points to ponder
======================================================

Family reunification is a politically difficult question because of its crucial importance in many immigrant communities, particularly the suburban ridings around Toronto and Vancouver that handed the Conservatives a majority government in the past election. Mr. Kenney, speaking to a room of reporters primarily from Canadian ethnic media outlets, highlighted his government's decision to raise family reunification numbers substantially.

But he also pointed out that this may not be the case over the long term. He said his government's primary goal is to cut the backlog of applications that had pushed wait times beyond eight years in some cases. No new family reunification applications will be processed before 2014 to prevent the backlog from growing. In future, Mr. Kenney said, there will be a new family reunification program “that limits intake to a level that is fiscally sustainable.”

======================================================

After reading the article, it seems they are quite content with the Supervisa system, where it doesn't cost them anything. Who knows what rules they will put in for future apps and/or might tweak the supervisa to 4 years ( my personal opinion ). Frankly, they created this backlog, and it seem,s while it won't be possible to clear everything by Nov, 2013 - late 2009 and 2010 apps will go on further as these numbers are really high.

Kenney also has to answer folks who have these comments

1) Thank God my parents left Ontario and went back to the Maritimes to retire. At least they won't have to compete with all those old imported folks tying up the already over-crowded E.R.s and medical facilities. It's not fair that people who worked all their lives and paid their taxes have to stand in line behind someone who never paid a nickel but will get gold-plated service. This is vote-buying to the nth degree........

Who knew Geriatric immigrants offered such a great economic advantage.

I think Miss Jinny needs to visit any one of Canada's overcrowded hospitals and see for her self just how many of these "caregivers" are racking up hotel bills to the tune of a $1000 per night!


2) older immigrants are needed to flood the hospital system which is already splitting at the seams and sinking Ontario into junk bond staus.

25,000 hip replacements at $25,000 a pop
Total cost = $625 million

This is referred to as deficit drift,politicians unwilling to make tough choices, sinking Canada further into debt.

At this rate China will repos us in 50 years.

Politicians should visit a GTA hospital in disguise to see the old bodies lying around waiting for a spot.

Total madness.


3) This is outrageous . A bunch of old people from foreign countries with full access to our healthcare without having paid into it their entire lives like native born Canadians. I've had it with the Tories. We need to bring back Reform to stand up for Canada

4) There is also more to this than economics. Since when did it become problematic to want to be around fellow citizens that shared the same language, customs and social norms?

The proponents of immigration and multicult can rarely come up with positives other than increased menu choices and a wider range of festivals.

This is small potatoes in comparison to the daily affront to traditional Canadian politeness and norms committed hourly in places like the GTA and Vancouver. Whether it be the bedsheet clad Somali woman with 6 progeny in toe squawking on a cell phone or the old Chinese guy hacking and spitting all over the sidewalk. It is essentially the silent destruction of Canada.

I think he will start the new program that will require to charge upfront fee of about $40,000 per parent for the health coverage as health coverage is the biggest concern he has with the older parents.

I added more stuff in my post, you are probably right - almost every comment revolved around Health Care
