Immigration Department is a Black Hole
It may be true that the American convicted in the U.S. of a selling chemicals to make illegal drugs has committed no crime here in Canada.
But that doesn't automatically make him our best bet as an immigrant.
I have recently learned that there are presently 800,000 - absorb this - EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND - immigration cases in backlog!

He was advised last month that his case HAS NOT YET BEEN ASSIGNED TO A WORKER.

I believe that family is given preference over those applying to immigrate for the first time.
The trouble with family reunification is Canada ends up with all the black sheep.
I thought immigration was much better before the eighties when there was no family reunification.
"One of the nice things about you when you were that unspeakable radio station was that you always said "Good to hear from you" thanks for calling." "
Indeed, well-mannered, appreciative to the callers and able to disagree without being disagreeable seems to have rendered Sir David incompatible with the Sick Dawg of Vancouver radio. I wonder how much of their precipitous drop in the ratings has been due to ...
