What an unnecessary change. The refugee stream is a form of immigration. I get the party wants to show their dedication to refugees. Better to show this through acts that benefit refugees rather than a silly name change. This is the kind of stuff that makes me angry as a tax payer.
There are going to be a heck of a lot of web site pages and forms to update to reflect this change...
Waste of time and money if you ask me (money and time that would be better put towards processing applications).
I've been in Canada for not that long, just over 5 years, but in "my time" I've seen a clear way how things operate here both in private and public sectors:
1. Establish a certain way of operation
2. Take time to train staff to work according to those procedures
3. Slowly work based on the established procedures
4. Build a significant backlog of tasks/schedule delays/etc over time
5. Estimate the needed resources/solutions to cope with the problem that was created
6. Conclude that with existing resources/solutions , the current problem cannot be solved.
7. Purge the backlog of tasks/projects completely
8. Go to (1)
On the other hand, acting this way creates an easy, laid back style of life (for the time being), so who cares...
So yes, lets rename the offices, create new processes, new procedures, as long as we don't have to do any actual work or solve any actual issues it is going to be just fine.
