Parent and grandparent sponsorships (in reply to: Parents Sponsorship Forum (Part 5))
Jenia,
i would like to congratulate you and other memebers of this forum for taking an initiative for the parental sponsorship applications.through this mail i want to give you some facts.
i had sent my application in early 2002 and my applicaton is as yet stuck in the embassy.but our problem is the same and the problem is the parents sponsorship is no more a priority for the canadian government and consequently they are continously reducing the intake of people in this category.in 2002 the intake was 22000,in 2003 it was 19000,in 2004 the target is between 10000-13000 and for 2005 the target intake is 5500-6800 people.so as you can see based on 2005 targets it will take between 10-20 yrs for a parental application to be approved(approx 25000 people file in this category every year).this is the reason they have stopped sending applications to the different consulates because they are already overloaded with unfinished applications.these may be some new facts for you guys but this is the direction in which CIC is going.when i applied the whole process was supposed to take 11-14 months but it has been slowing down ever since.
so unless the priorities change and the intake targets are not increased the situation is not going to change.

New issuers (in reply to: Parents Sponsorship Forum (Part 5))
Frends,
Please note that House of Commons committee on immigration issues will be travelling through the country to look into issues related to immigration. The press release can be found here: http://www.parl.gc.ca/committee/CommitteePublication.aspx?SourceId=96511
The hearings will be held in Toronto around March or April of next year.
This is controller or audit for Ministry of Immigration and personally Ms. Sgro.
It?s important to everybody to send your story, your demand to the Chair of this Committee Andrew Telegdi. You can find his e-mail easily on the page.
It would be good to send you angry letter to the committee not only via e-mail, but regular mail only.
If someone will find his mail address please let us know.
Again this is very important committee
?Cross-Canada Hearings of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration: An Opportunity for your voice to be heard.?

Please also read the link http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/i-2.5/64352.html Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
Please make search ?family? and you will find
Charter 13. (1) A Canadian citizen or permanent resident may, subject to the regulations, sponsor a foreign national who is a member of the family class.

So Ms. Sgro violated the ?Immigration and Refugee Protection Act?.

Please be active. Only you can help your parents. If you have question, just mail to me.
Again please sent ad to your community papers and forums. We need more people to sign the Petition and Organize Manifestation.

I have faxed out letter to least 20 MP,s throughout Canada (in reply to: Parents Sponsorship Forum (Part 5))
I totally agree agrre with. We have get togahter and raise voice. Best way is to write a leeter to your local MP. But sometime I feel like they do not care.

We should start colleting petions by fax or mail. We can do it electronically but If everybody is able to sign it and then fax or send it it becomes legal document.

There are lot of unhappy people who wish to their parents and siblings in Canada. I am pretty confident that we can achieve our goal by getting together.

Hopefully soon there will be next Federal elections and it is time to kick their big asses.

Let us do it. I am with you

Article (in reply to: Parents Sponsorship Forum (Part 5))
Friends,
First I have to specify:
The Petition can be sign by Sponsor, family members and any person who deeply understands the problem. The only restriction: people who sign the Petition should have legal status in Canada and be more that 19 years old. Postal Code is very important. It shows your political riding.

Please everybody read an article
http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/financialpost/story.html?id=b784fe78-c3d7-455c-bb36-4bc09e15aa08

And sent letter to the author Terence Corcoran
http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/columnists/terencecorcoran.html

Tell him about ?forgotten class of immigrants? our Parent and Grandparents. Please emphasize that stopping of parental application began after December 2003, when Ms.Sgro became the Minister of Immigration.

Read it ASAP, they may remove old articles.

Communication Problems (in reply to: Parents Sponsorship Forum (Part 5))
Friends,
We think everybody understands already how serious the situation.
Please everybody try to contribute in our movement to see our parents some day.
Please use only ONE e-mail address and your ONE first name, when communicate with us.
Please respect time of others.
If you are afraid of something don?t even start to communicate with us.
People use different Nicknames and different addresses that create mess.
Your participation is voluntary and please respects our time.

Signature file (in reply to: Parents Sponsorship Forum (Part 5))
I forgot to mention that in ?Signature? file for Petition please use your REAL name, phone (optional) and e-mail (optional). Believe I don?t pay attention on you personal info. I just count number of people, copy and past you info into ?Collect Signatures? file, which will be send to the Government. There are no phones and e-mails will be on this letter.
When we communicate as Forum members your can use any names and e-mails, just the same all the time.
