Parents Sponsorship - Stop Immigration Lottery

[nayr69sg]

Yes NDP is a joke.

Actually in the last election Trudeau's platform was more flash than substance too. But he won because he is handsome says nice things and promised sunny ways.

I think the last vote was more that people were getting fed up with Harper than really voting Trudeau.

It is the same with the Alberta Progressive Conservatives and our vote for Rachel Notley

My personal philosophy is not to try to sweat things I cannot have control over.

I can bitch about it complain vent but at the end of it I just want to get my parents their PR. As long as there is a PR program that covers my parents healthcare I will go for it. Why not right?

We have to play within the rules set by the prevailing government. Right now it's a lottery. Not much to can do to game the system really. Unless there is corruption? That's one of my concerns.

Petitions to me are a waste of time. Sorry 4parents.

Let's hope we get picked in this lottery round ok? Good luck to everyone.

Going back to FIFO. If they had banned couriers and insisted applicants come personally I would fly down and line up.

Just make it such that people need to put in some effort. Not this lazy click click on internet webform (can even put false declarations on LICO with no repercussions). Lazy for lazy people who I still argue are less likely to take care or their parents than the ones who will make sacrifices for the PGP.

Literally zero chance this ever happens due to fairness. Look at what someone from say Victoria, BC would need to go through, vs someone in Mississauga a few minutes from the IRCC office.

Where is Juliana Andrew? Why don't you tell RobTo not to talk politics as well? Double standards?

I was just responding directly to others. Or how parties view the specific PGP program in general.

Big difference from random topics on political parties or leaders.

There is this whole thing about "fairness"

There is no such thing. Life isn't fair. Some people are born with disabilities. Some are born into poor families.

You make the best of what you have and can.

I am not waiting for things to get easier. I will look at myself and ask how I can become better.

That's the difference in philosophy between some of us.

That's great for you, but the policy of Canada is that for any such programs they need to be done in a manner fair to all Canadians in all locations.

I agree that the lottery system is the fairest. I do think they should conduct the lotteries in public though. Do you think that is important?

To me it's not important at all. This isn't some lottery for prizes that they're drawing physical names on a piece of paper out of a bin. It's 10,000 selections, so it will be a computer program to randomly select all picks instantly.
Also it won't be 1 guy doing this privately at a computer, there will be several government employees on hand to witness it. There is nothing you can show to make it "public".

I'm not concerned about any type of fraud at all. And if there was fraud, it would be in the computer program itself so even if the program was run publicly nobody would know.

Yes you are right.

The system is pretty good as it is. I should be happy with it.

Hope I get picked this round. Will you pray for me?

 

[DollyM]

Will you pray for me?

Why? It's not "God" who's going to pick the lottery winners; it's CIC.

Here in BC, the NDP formed a minority government and created the wine and pipeline dispute with Alberta. Personally, I believe we are one nation, so I don't mind more pipelines and increased tanker traffic.

I am sorry for being religious and have a faith.

I should not pray. So what can and should I do?

Thank you steaky. I am quite sure that the trans mountain expansion will never be completed. People will go lie down on the ground and protest. It is within their rights. Every life is precious.

We didn't do anything but our application to sponsor wife's parents was selected in the second round. It's like buy a 649 and wait to hit jackpot. The prize will be COPR for them.

Congratulations! That's awesome. How long does it take from winning the lottery to COPR?
