Thanks Hegarty147!!

I believe you were featured in the article. Finally an article which spotlights the situation of backlogs in a proper way.

I did send an email but it was directed to Simona i believe. I think my story did not garner enough interest from her.

Best Regards,

Hey ya I was, I hope the article got most peoples stories across. I don't expect anything much to happen out of it but at least it brings some publicity.

perhaps after a protest campaign ???
 
Kudos to all participated in news press interview and made this news print came out.

I am however wondering if the alleged remaining 6000 backlog will be counted into the cap or not.

Looking at stupid comments posted on this story by narrow minded "native" Canadians has been a lot of fun.

Is that you in that Kevin Hegarty, 28??

If yes, nice to see you and good work for supporting the article by providing information. Good work at all and thanks for being responsible.
 
Brilliant job hegarty and others.. let no injustice be hidden from the eyes of the public
 
"Immigration officials said there are about 6,000 CEC applications in the backlog, but their goal is to process them all within six months. "

Somehow I don't buy this.

I don't buy it either. But CIC can say whatever it wants since there is no transparency and no accountability.

Yep, clearing 6000 backlog applications in 6 months ... that's like getting 33 done per day. Yep I have heard this one before.

Haha they may as well say "their goal" is to process all 6000 applications tomorrow. Having good intentions sounds good but it really means nothing. They know they will never be held accountable when they fail to deliver.
