I don't think we can nudge Ottawa in any effective way. It's not that Ottawa doesn't know about us - they sure know and know full well about our situation. I think Ottawa has already made a decision for outlanders, and rightfully so. Our application status now is already an answer from them that doesn't need any more clarification.
It should be good if people have other means to get into the country, like a work permit or whatever. It will eventually come to a point where they've already approved everyone in Canada, so those who are in by then should be safe. Not being too pessimistic here, but I have assumed their real plan is something like a Berlin Wall in preparation for future political instability their government had foreseen. For me personally it means losing a career opportunity, but for most people on this forum it probably means much more. It is unfortunate, but that's life.
