Details of the Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled


Whereas:
•Numerous files are delayed due to administrative errors, which have serious human and financial consequences;
•In many cases, files are not analyzed properly due to lack of time, training and resources, and the large number of applications;
•The risk of discrimination by officers is high because of the nature of the mandate entrusted to them and their fear of approving a “bad file”;
•In Canadian embassies abroad, procedures and codes of ethics may not be respected by officers;
•During the sponsorship process, if a case is appealed, the wait is unduly long and unnecessarily delays finalization of the file (30 months);
•The adverse consequences of delays and the resulting impact on the mental and physical health of sponsors and those sponsored results in a loss of enjoyment of life which can last several months or even several years.

We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to establish an ombudsman function at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to relieve pressures on the system and better serve individuals in the processing of their files.
 
Wha! This petition is VERY IMPORTANT!

I invite all (unfortunately Citizens Only) to sign.

Hi wildeman, just to clarify it is not strictly for citizens only. Permanent residents (PRs) can also sign as supporters. So you might want to modify your post so we can cast the net wider!! Thanks for signing. +1 ;)


ELECTRONIC PETITIONS – GUIDE FOR SUPPORTERS

A “supporter” is a resident of Canada or a citizen of Canada living either in Canada or abroad, who indicates support for the ideas and proposals set out in a petition prior to its being sent to a Member of Parliament to be sponsored and then released for signature online to the general public. In the case of electronic petitions, the “signature” consists of providing some basic contact information. If you have been asked to support a petition, and would like more information, please read on.
 
Thanks for posting!! Bump. :)
 
Finally, a petition on this forum that I can actually support. An ombudsman is an excellent idea. Willingly signed.

thanks Louman64 +1 ;)and another bump.....
 
Signed.
But keep in mind that these parliamentary petitions almost always end up in a dead end.
If you read responses to a bunch of these petitions you would realize that the government almost always issues some vague response about how important the topic is and how the matter will continue to be reviewed (indefinitely).
