Dear friends,
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding who those 20,000 files Kenney mentioned might be in. Although nobody can objectively tell you who are in this category, there has been some factual speculation. Remember, there are files still pending for decision at CHC Delhi since 2002 ( very few) and 2003 ( almost a quarter) . The liberal government had reduced point from 75 to 67 in September 2003 and the present government of Mr Harper-Kenney blames this point reduction event for generating all the backlog especially in Delhi and other CHC posts across Asia. When CIC implemented its so-called immigration process in 2008 with the fast track queue and made a stop in processing the older cases, there were already a few thousand files that had been completed updation and medicals. So according to the explanation of some prominent immigration lawyers in Canada, that 20,000 won't go to any post September 2003 New Delhi cases. Remember, all 2004 and more than 3rd quarter 2005 applicants were contacted for updation . This crosses 20 thousand which has been set aside for all across the world. So don't still be baited by this false hope of going alone and ' we are safe' kind of self-gratifying hollow happiness with the clap of the elbows ! If you make it to the next level, I will be happy for you ! Accept that 99.9% of post 2004 CHC Delhi backlog comes under ambit of rejection. If you still want to be happy saying I am among 20 K , you have every right to be happy till the last hammer though. I don't lose hope and my life won't stop here with Kenney's antics, But I wish to fight for the injustice. If you have that mentality , let's come together . I am prepared to lose a few thousands against this lowly treatment on me. But this may or mayn't give me any return or not , I don't know.

It seems to be The End. All those who applied thru consultants should ask them for refund of their fees. This will put pressure on these consultants to fight for our cases. Also ask the consultants to make this rejection of backlog a big news in the media, as they have their contacts. |

I really feel bad...it is sheer injustice met to the you guys...I waited around 4 years to get PR. After the 2008, 2009 recession the public view is generally against immigration. Now people don't support much immigration as canadians are looking for jobs. In the budget speeches NDP and Liberal talk against everything other than elimination of backlog. So no one listen ....

Friends
there is already trouble brewing for the Harper govt! He along with his 4 senior ministers are facing the wrath of opposition! We need to watch what happens further. Kenney the self righteous, who was vested with enormous power, to make the CIC dance to all kinds of his tunes is blinking pale. This power has ruined him and parliamentary democracy! Read futher and watch out what happens!

Tim Harper: Stephen Harper should be seeking some cabinet resignations
OTTAWA—It is the refuge of the frustrated opposition politician. “Resign,” comes the cri de coeur, a call now coming with more intensity and frequency. It has been heard four times in the past two weeks, calls for the ouster of Defence Minister Peter MacKay, the associate defence minister, Julian Fantino, Industry Minister Christian Paradis and even Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Until Thursday, the calls had usually come from the third-party Liberals and the call for Harper’s ouster came from interim Leader Bob Rae. New Democrats had been more circumspect, but Auditor General Michael Ferguson’s revelation that the cabinet had to know — before the 2011 election — that the F-35s were more costly than they were saying publicly, sparked Leader Thomas Mulcair to call for MacKay’s resignation. Under our parliamentary system, based on past convention and invoking the sometimes elusive qualities of honour and accountability, how many, if any, of the four really should resign? MacKay: He was clearly missing in action on the biggest file on his watch, the F-35s, and he may have been complicit in misleading Parliament on the cost of the planes. He has become a liability to Harper, who had to stand and defend him earlier during this session after revelations about his use of a government search-and-rescue helicopter to extricate himself from a fishing lodge. New Democrats called for his resignation then. Harper and MacKay hunkered down after the helicopter ride and are doing so again after it was made clear by Ferguson that the bureaucracy took MacKay for a ride. There are no consequences because no money has been spent purchasing the planes, Harper said Thursday. But the noose is tightening around MacKay. Ferguson upped the ante and Rae has been relentless, arguing Thursday that the government misled Parliament by saying the planes would cost $25 billion while telling Parliament they would cost $14.7 billion. But MacKay’s fate is tricky for Harper. MacKay may yet harbour leadership ambitions, he has a strong following in the party and he represents the moderate wing of the Conservatives. Harper would risk too much political blowback if he demoted him, but whether it is the question of misleading Parliament or accountability, MacKay is on extremely shaky ground. Fantino: The associate minister of defence has been feckless, but has been asked by Harper to become a human shield, repeating the same talking points day after day to take the heat off MacKay. Liberal Judy Foote said in so doing Fantino misled Canadians and should resign. That is nonsense. Fantino need not resign, but with the F-35 responsibility moved to Public Works he is now massively underemployed. Harper: Rae was clearly overreaching in demanding the Prime Minister’s resignation. Rae likened the situation to a private company CEO who peddled misinformation to shareholders and made a $10 billion error in the real costs of a project. That CEO would be fired, Rae said. Sure enough, but a democratically elected Prime Minister is not going to resign because his government is under siege and Rae knows that — but it did get the interim leader some much-needed attention. Paradis: He’s only peripherally involved in the F-35 fiasco. But he has been found guilty of conflict-of-interest, he is labouring under two other ethical clouds involving the moving of a government office to his home riding and a visit to a hunting lodge of Marcel Aubut, who was lobbying the government for money for a new hockey arena. On Wednesday, CTV News revealed his spokesperson (who resigned last week) had put a Las Vegas hotel room on his government-issued credit card during a personal vacation. Paradis may be important to Harper in Quebec, but the mountain of real or perceived ethics breaches has become too much and he should resign. That’s what should happen, but as Harper has shown time and again, he is inclined to tough it out rather than admit failure by firing a minister. He does not shuffle his cabinet under pressure. But beyond the solid quartet of senior ministers — John Baird, Jim Flaherty, Jason Kenney and James Moore — this is a cabinet that often can’t seem to steer clear of trouble. Tim Harper is a national affairs writer. His column appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. [email protected] |

Today, It is said about 30 applicants gathered in the General Counsulate of Canada Hongkong office to protest CIC and Jason Kenny's policies.
It is not easy for China mainland applicants to go to Hongkong because they need to apply permission to enter Hongkong.

Awesome coverage!!! Global protests denounce Ottawa’s plan to wipe out immigration backlog Waving placards denouncing Ottawa’s plan to eliminate a lengthy immigration backlog, protesters in four foreign cities urged Canada not to repeat its discriminatory immigration past. In Hong Kong, organizers said about 80 affected immigration applicants — many travelling from inner Mainland China — staged a demonstration against the federal government’s plan to return the applications of 280,000 people in the queue. Similar protests were held Monday in Leeds, England, and Karachi, Pakistan. In India’s Chandigarh, 200 people attended a rally and candle-light vigil, according to the Canadian Backloggers Pre-2008 Association. “The Chinese Exclusion Act in 1923 is being repeated,” protester Yiming Jiang told the Star in a telephone interview Monday, referring to Canada’s legislated ban on Chinese migrants. “We are pleading the Canadian government not cancel our applicants and reward queue-jumpers.” The protesters in Hong Kong — some travelled with young children from Dalian and Changchun — carried signs that read “Give Us 76 Months Back” and “We Want Justice, Not Refund.” They also handed a petition letter to Canadian consulate official, Angela Gawel. Although the federal government has said affected applicants can reapply under the new skilled immigration program introduced in 2008, many in the backlog like Jiang will not qualify because only those with skills and experience in one of 29 professions are eligible. “We have waited for so long, they can’t just wipe us out like this. It is just unfair,” said Jiang, 29, a cosmetic company sales manager, who applied in 2007. In Leeds, demonstrators wore black ribbons and held a candle light march, demanding Ottawa not repeat the “Komagata Maru” incident in 1914, when 356 passengers on the Japanese steamship were banned from landing in British Columbia and forced to return to India. “We condemn and demand the withdrawal of this unholy proposal to scrap our applications,” said organizer Preet Deep Singh in Leeds, part of the worldwide Canadian Backloggers Pre-2008 Association. “The Canadian government has made us wait for so long. We are not given justice,” added Singh, 37, a business manager, who submitted his application in 2004 with his wife and now resides in England. The Conservative government seems to have taken note of the bad publicity surrounding Canada’s international image. On Friday, Citizenship and Immigration quietly issued a new operational directive instructing its visa officers to resume the processing of the pre-2008 immigration applications at least until the backlog wipeout becomes law. Officials earlier had been told to stop processing backlogged applications. “This is yet another example of why nothing CIC says should be trusted to remain true 10 minutes after it has been said,” said Toronto lawyer Tim Leahy, who is leading a class-action lawsuit against Ottawa on behalf of 700 immigration applicants. The new directive could merely be a ploy to hold back the inevitable court case on grounds the files have not yet been closed and there is no cause of action, Leahy added. |
