Sign petition: New Citizenship Act Bill C-24 discrimination

[sashali78]

Australia is one of them

@ Sashali78, you are gem mate !. I visit this thread couple of times a day to keep myself updated with the progress in our petition.

Thanks Buddy, but I really don't want to take all the credit. There is a bunch of people working closely, some of them (the core team) from the very start, that's what helped to achieve all those things. You can find their details on the website - they all deserve a huge thank you.

Hi All,

In preparation for our testimony in front of the committee we need your help to gather some statistical data. Will much appreciate if you fill in a 2min survey on our group website: http://preprtimecounts.com/2014/05/01/take-our-survey/
Many thanks in advance!

Our group testifies in front of the Citizenship and Immigration committee on May,7 2014!

Please join me in congratulating Taya T. and Maria S. who had successfully represented our group in CIMM hearing with regards to Bill C-24. Although they were notified just one hour before the meeting that their speech time had to be cut in half due to scheduling issues, they managed to deliver a clear and convincing message which received broad support from committee members and was unanimously agreed upon by the expert witnesses from the ruling party!

Hi,

so did this fail?

Yes. Not even a single amendment passed.

Hi,



Yes. Not even a single amendment passed.

I am sorry but I am a little confused. Do you mean the bill has failed or, do you mean our efforts to block it has failed? Because, as far as I am aware, the bill has received a royal assent

Hence, our efforts to block this from passing has failed, right? :'(

Although for some of you this may be still a long way ahead but the new Citizenship Act Bill C-24 is going to affect all foreign temporary workers and students. In fact it discriminates against our group as we are the only group which will be affected by twice as long extension period.
I have started a petition on Change.Org here: https://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/senate-of-canada-house-of-commons-mp-s-do-not-allow-the-discrimination-of-former-foreign-workers-by-the-new-canadian-citizenship-bill-c-24#

Once we have enough support and signatures I will plan to take it to media, MP's and House of Commons. Your help s crucial, please sign, forward and share on Facebook, Twitter as much as you can.

Thank you
Alex

Do you REALLY think the Canadian Govt. and/or MP's care about what international foreign citizens of another country want to be implemented in Canada? It's their country not OURS. Our signing this petition as international students has no effect on the govt of Canada. I won't even say try because it's like someone from a third world country telling or dictating the US govt on how to make its foreign policy. LOL.

Well put, and obviously correct. The petition, letters to MP's, protests, etc. obviously had no impact at all on the political process, and the bill passed as the democratically elected government saw fit.

Are you talking about Cons MPs leading Canada to economic recession? They truly don't care about anyone but couple of their rich friends. Good part is they are creating a lot of volunteers for other parties.
