Thanks for being so regular in mailing the monthly news letter. It does keep us up-dated.
However, in your news letter you hardly cover any topic for of interest with regard to the
International students who wish to study and later explore possibilities of PR. This would greatly help us and many readers.

Regards.

Hello, thank you for your constant update on recent news concerning Canada immigration.

I would like to refer to the recent decision by Cohen, Canada immigration minister to put a temporary pause on Skilled Worker Application. This decision has left many people devastated including my wife and I. we had gathered all the documents, filled the forms and obtained a bank draft for the application fees and we were waiting for Ist July for the application to be dispatched but this did not happen because of the new decision to halt it temporarily. I feel this was not fair on all the applicants, that decision should not have affected our batch since our applications were ready to go. All we do now is to keep the dream and aspirations of migrating to Canada alive. God bless.

I am still waiting for my CSQ from Quebec. While reading a topic of yours I am becoming more and more anxious, as I wish to be selected. I already settled part of my payment to my agent, and paid to the government of canada for the application, I really afraid now. As I received a mail from you, it will be difficult for me as my qualification do not match and I am a self dependant and got 2 kids. Hope will got some encouragement news from you.

Hi Cohen,
Thank you for keeping us informed on developments on immigration news in Canada. May I use this medium to express our disappointment on the recent announcement by the Government to cancel some applications. I and my family invested a lot in filing our application since 2008 and were looking forward to receiving approval until the recent change in policy. The government should at least clear the back log since the delay is not of our making. They should consider the applicants that fulfilled the requirements.

Hi,

After reading all other comments, I am very disappointed the hear of all the hopes and aspirations of all
these people who wish to migrate to Canads through the skilled worker programe.

According to my understanding one of these applicants they have been waiting for four years and this programe has been at a standstill? my question why send me this news letter and this is not a true
statement of you helping to bring these people?
tks.

i just want to say to the Minister jason keny to be considerate the way they treats caregivers employees in canada is inhuman in the international law caregivers some of them worked for
tiredlessy taking care of old ones,less prevelage home, orphanages,and other homes across
canada, jason keny should use his office to put a policy to issues their permanent resident and work permit instantly within 4months keeping human being for 10month or 18 months is
slavery some of them has not seen their family of children for years of the caregiver program
the job should not be keeping them as a slave without given the thepermanent residence
or work permit( listen very carefull with the parliament goverment of canada should immediately change that policy of using workers and take time to issue them their work or residence permit their should not be discrimantion with skilled or unskilled because they all pay tax for development of the economy to thequota please this democarcy canada goverment should be example to world with there in human and slavery polices with all the atcticles i saw
and studied.
