It has been 36 months since my AOR, and still I don’t know when the final decision will come…

Just like PR and work permit applicants. We turned down other offers but chose Canada. We have no idea how long the security screening will take, some of us even didn’t know there was a security screening. While we’ve invest time and $, it’s can’t be solved with a simple “leave”.
These university students in China are matched with summer research internships in Canada via a program supported by Canadian and Chinese governments. They've turned down other offers but Canadian security screening delays may upend their plan.

It’s a beautiful day today. We shall be enjoying our life and work if we know where our lives are going to. Instead, we are here, just for a tiny tiny chance that we can talk to an IRCC official come to attend the immigration counselling conference. Make a decision, make it now.
My visa expires on June 1st and I cannot apply a new one before my work permit renewal is approved which should be in about 5 months. I pray everyday for my parents for their safe and healthy. I cannot come to them and take care of them if anything happens (god forbid)

While Canada is calling for international talent to create jobs for local, the prolonged security screening is making them to think about other options…
I’m tired of “there is nothing we can do.”
Of course there are lots of things IRCC can do. Sit down with your security partners and take a look at the delays can be the first step.
Unless you only choose the easiest way, look away from us and pretend everything is just fine.
2 days to go! We have received several emails from RCICs agreed to raise our matter to IRCC and CBSA during the conference. All we want is a fair,
transparent, and well-administered immigration system - one that serves applicants, practitioners,and the public interest equally.
This is like you proposed to someone and she/he said yes, then you quitted your job, packed up everything and moved to a new place to live with her/him. Then a year later, two years later, three years later…you still don’t know when you two will get married.
My little girl has learnt a new song and I found it is so encouraging.
"With just one small voice
Singing out a song
With just one small voice
Singing sweet and strong
One by one they'll grow
And together sing along
And then soon all the world
Will be singing"
With every one of us standing for ourselves, we will make a change.

The smoke.
I smell the smoke again.
All the windows are closed, and the door too. But I’ve been smelling it all night long. It’s coming from the chimney—I know for a fact it’s the neighbor living right above us.
I don’t know how they have the audacity to write that. You cannot tell someone whose application has taken five times longer than the official service standard—with still no estimated timeline for a final decision—to "rest assured." #ircc #prdelay #securityscreening
