Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- Numerous files are delayed due to administrative errors, which have serious human and financial consequences;
- In many cases, files are not analyzed properly due to lack of time, training and resources, and the large number of applications;
- The risk of discrimination by officers is high because of the nature of the mandate entrusted to them and their fear of approving a “bad file”;
- In Canadian embassies abroad, procedures and codes of ethics may not be respected by officers;
- During the sponsorship process, if a case is appealed, the wait is unduly long and unnecessarily delays finalization of the file (30 months);
- The adverse consequences of delays and the resulting impact on the mental and physical health of sponsors and those sponsored results in a loss of enjoyment of life which can last several months or even several years.
