Hi Everyone,
First of all, sorry for interrupting the conversation... :
Some of you may have seen a thread I started in September under Family Class sponsorship about PhD research I'm doing on experiences of the Family Class application process. This includes an anonymous online survey for people who are currently going through or recently finished the process. My goal is that the results can be used for advocacy to make improvements to the system for people who want to sponsor family members in the future.
I'm still looking for lots more people to respond to the survey - the more people respond the stronger the results will be. In particular I’m looking for people who are not well-represented in the data I already have. Unfortunately I haven't heard from many people yet whose applicantions are going through VOs in the Middle East, so that's why I'm posting in this thread.
So if any of you are interested in telling me about your experiences with, and recommendations for, the sponsorship process I'd like to invite you to go to https://survey.ryerson.ca:443/s?s=4526 .
On the first page you'll find more information about the survey, and at the bottom of that page there is a button to click on to start the survey. The survey can be done in English or French. The moderators of this forum have given me permission to post about the survey.
Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to read this and good luck with your applications!
