Hello Ibrahim,
Last Sunday I travelled to Toronto with one of my friends. We were discussing the same. In Toronto we met with some friends who are in line with our opinions. There should be serious actions.

Your determination should be applauded. However, I'm afraid that you are not being realistic. The examples you mentioned (MLK, women liberation movement, and changing immigration laws in the U.S, and a class action lawsuit) reveal your indirect admission that it will take many, many years before you can reap the fruits of your efforts. Who's gonna be faster: your efforts or CIC clearing up the backlog according to their own schedule and priorities?

Hello Wael,

My family and some of my friends families here in Ottawa are strongly support you and willing to participate, donate, and peacefully protest in front of parliament in Ottawa at any time as we feel that we have been targeted and unfairly treated.

Please let me know what you want us to do?

Finally, we all love Canada and call it as our country.

I do not think a protest is a good idea vefabuyuk. I would prefer we focous our attention on media out-reach. Hit them where it hurts, their voters! Let us show them that their actions of ignoring us will cost them dearly come next by-election or general election. Our comunities should know that if they do not vote these people out, their mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, friends and son's lives will be effected one way or another. This is the message that we should send to our communities.

Your thoughts!

Well said

In USA republican party was against reforming the immigration but now they want to reform the immigration as they are loosing the Hispanic votes. Do not forget politicians are like business man. politics is their business  and voters are their customers. No politician dare to loose its customer mean us as voter.Once they feel big chunk of customers can go to other party they start changing the behavior. this is the power of common man. But biggest problem is that how to mobilize the movement  we are not united, we do not know each other. We do not have a organisation like ACLU in USA which have over 50,000 members. If we have a organisation in Canada who can speak on the behalf of common man thru media that will bring change.Than govt will Listen us because they can not afford to  loose us. In Canada victory margin is very low from few vote to thousands votes. Few people cry no body cares when thousands of people cry together than every body will  care.

Overexaggeration of abilities may be as harmful as sitting idle and doing nothing. Being realistic is a virtue and better than running after an illusion. Anyways, good luck again.

We will not stop :)

Imagine if MLK or the women liberation movement had a similar sentiment.

Please dont think I am trying to discourage you from your great work for justice that you and some others are persuing. My family  as a sufferer of this long delays I have been speaking to people when I am at a house party or community gathering and to my surprise there are very few people who are actually concerned about whats happing to us.People are more worried about their financial well being and saying that we dont neen more immigrants in this country. Whats even more pathetic is that some people who applied around the same time and never got RQ had said .."oh they are making sure you are eligible and just be patient and bla bla.." The minute they get the citizenship they forget that they were in the same boat last week.. 

Do not despair The King. You told them about you. That is easily brushed aside and dismissed! Plant the idea of their family's file being stuck in Buffalo and them not being able to sponsor his mother and see how that self centered man flips 180 degrees. Tell them how, for no reason whatsoever, their brother, mother, sister, father's file could be RQd and tell them about the potential wait time. I have tried it and it did wonders. Wonders I tell you. This is the only message we need to deliver. I do not need anyone's bitty. The should not help me becuase they feel sorry for me, they should help themselves.
