My name is XXXX. I am a Canadian citizen living in XXXXXXX, Edmonton, and currently working for XXXXXXXXXX. I found your information from the internet.
I am writing this email to complain Immigration Canada for their unfairly treat applicants all over the world. Please forward this email to the immigration office manager.
My parents live in Chongqing City, which is located in the south west of China and they have submitted their immigration application to Canada Visa Office in Beijing, China at Mar.31, 2008. After almost 2 years, their application status is still “Waiting for process”. Based on the information from internet, Beijing Visa office is sending Medical Exam forms to those applicants who submitted their application at 2007, September. And there will be couple months waiting after they pass the medical exam.
But for those applicants, who live in south of china and submitted their application to HK Visa office at September,2009, they have received medical exam form already. For Vietnamese, who submitted their application to Singapore Visa office at March, 2009, they also received the medical exam form already.
I was told that Beijing Visa office only process 2.5 months inventory cases in the year of 2009.
I just don’t understand why the waiting time is such a huge difference between different offices. Even within China, just because the applicants live in different regions their waiting time is 2 years difference, that’s ridiculous.
I understand Canadian government doesn’t like our parents come over as they cannot contribute to Canada. But why don’t they increase the financial bottom line for the sponsors to avoid parents come over to Canada to enjoy the low income benefits? I strongly believe that sponsors should provide over than average living standard for their parents. And old age security should be totally cut off for those people who never paid one penny tax to Canada.
The reason I want them to become an immigrants is that it is much easier for them to come over to visit me when they want to. During the past 5 years, they have visited me twice as visitors and I already took them to the very east and very west points of Canada. But every time, both me and my parents had to prepare whole bunch documentations, got rude treated by the visa center staffs, travel to other city to get medical exam and of course, paid unreasonable expensive extra fees beside application fee.
At the day one I submitted the sponsorship application(December,2005), I know there would be a long waiting but I wasn’t expecting so long. I didn’t complain anything as I know I am not strong enough to change anything. The motivation for me to write this email is that when I told my parents that I plan to put a bedroom and a shower on the main floor in the house that I am building last night, my dad told me: don’t waste those money, we might not get the visa before I die. This really made me upset as my parents don’t have any old age diseases and they are thinking their death will be coming faster than the immigrant visa.
