A poster has raised the issue that Canadian High Commisions or Embassies red flag or give special scrutiny to countries like the Philippines,India and China with a high percentage of fake diplomas giving extra hard scrutiny to diplomas from those countries.Having already contacted 4 Filipinos and 7 Chinese,They did not see this as racist because they feel that it is legitemate considering the high percentage of Fake diplomas in their home countries.However a poster feels this is racist against Indians for them to prove the legitemacy of their diplomas.What do you think,Should Indians be exempt while Chinese and Filipinos undergo scrutiny???Post what you think
I humbly agree that there are many people who have access to fake certificates (In India) provided they have money to buy them. CHC has every right to do its back ground check to ensure that only the legitimate cases get through the immigration. I really don't know why a few people here are taking offence at this. Having said that, people who are applying also should take more care to prove that the certificates are good/not fake. My sister has gone to the extent of getting the reference letters from her professors and she has also submitted a copy of her dissertation as additional proof. She did the same for the employment proof as well.
I don't know much about China and Philippines so I would not choose to comment on them.
Also everything cannot be mentioned in the instructions. Time lines given are the proof that it's going to be a long wait as CHC checks everything diligently. Also how can we expect that every national should be treated equally when it comes to language (I agree with Rupeshhari here)? For example, a British National is bound to know English. And if you take a person coming from a remote part of India, chances are good he wouldn't know English (Hence the basic IELTS. Don't tell me that you can survive in Canada without speaking a single word of English).
Let's accept that it's a long wait. If anyone feels it's unfair, there is no reason why they should come to Canada when they don't like its governing principles itself. Let's respect the rules and regulations and abide by them if we choose to live in Canada.
Finally, the answer to your question BCguy is NO. Indian's should NOT be treated Special compared to other Nationalities.
