Hi,
Immigration Canada is not reviewing applications in the Parents Sponsorship Applications. This is really dissapointing. The back log is now 17-18 months.
I need your help in order to improve this. Please send a letter of complaint to your MEMEBER OF PARLAMENT ( You can find who he is by your postal code at http://www.parl.gc.ca/ and forward a copy to my e.mail address at sponsoryourparent@hotmail.com.
We need to gather together to let the government that we care and we want to be with our parents and this is UNFAIR.
Help me to spread this request
Hope to hear from A LOT OF people soon!!!

I already was visiting my local MP 2 month ago. She is a Liberal.
From the beginning she didn’t understand what I’m talking about. She was sure that backlog is abroad of Canada and even sent fax to the Foreign Embassy. Embassy answered very quickly: they don’t have my file.
I used to explain her several times that backlog is in Canada. She didn’t believe me. She said, “It’s impossible!”
Then she called to someone in Ministry of Immigration and was told that reviewing of Parents Sponsorship Applications was stopped for some reason and nobody knows when it will start again.
When I came to her office in week, she already was not surprise and started explain me that situation is not so bad and so on (Liberals)
She even suggested writing Petition. One of my friends helps me to write the Petition. So I have it and don’t think it will help.
We have to send our words to Opposition Parties. I already send week ago letter to Opposition party Official Shadow Immigration Minister Diane Ablonczy www.dianeablonczy.com, but so far there is no respond.
We have to send letter to NDP party also. Lets do something!
I think Petition is very mild. In my letter to Ms. Ablonczy I used different tone, but so far there is no respond. (See http://www.conservative.ca/english/shadowcabinet.asp for member of Official Opposition Shadow cabinet).
I see you English is better, so lets do something. I can send you the copy of letter to Ms. Ablobczy.
Petition
We, the undersigned, are concerned about the lengthening waiting time for the processing of parental sponsorship by the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, in the GTA and across Canada.
Applications wait for 17+ months within Canada before they are reviewed and sent overseas. The overall processing timetable for parental applications has been growing from the official 18-24 month period, to 42 months! Since parents/grandparents are sponsored by their adult hardworking children, they tend to be of declining years, usually over the age of 65.
In many cases, they face great material and emotional hardships at home, difficulties that will be resolved by their loving family in Canada. The lengthening waiting periods and the advancing years of the sponsored exacerbate an already stressful family separation for no other reason than bureaucratic procedures.
We respectfully request the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to look into this situation with a view to reducing the processing timeframe to the stated standards on the application. Additionally, we ask all of our political representatives, and society at large, to make their voices heard on this growing concern.

I absolutely understand all the frustration that you and others feel.. I do not believe in "17-18 month" bullshit. I applied in October last year and they were processing May 2003 applications at that time. In a year they processed only one month worth of applications, and applying simple math one may conclude that
the real timing is at least few years before my application even opened. (this is a remark to those who say that few month of waiting is not a big deal... wish it was only few month.. or even a year... or even 2 years, I can wait, but 5+ years is heartbreaking). If these applications are being processed at all..Do not forget, this is only a start. After sponsorship is approved, our parents
will have to send an immigration application to the Canadian embassy. I called Immigration not long ago and all they can say is they "do not know", "17-18 month" and "there too many applications lately", which I do not believe. By the way, I asked if I will need to upgrade my financial evaluation papers when my file will be opened, and they said yes. It does not matter that I spent 2 month
preparing all the required financial documents last year. They are already outdated.
I do not believe that immigrated parents are a burden to the society. They are supported by the sponsor for 10 years. I applied for my parents and my younger brother, who are my only living blood relatives. My parents are both PhD, speak English and under 60. Dad tells me all the time that they will do anything not to be a burden to me or society even if he will have to work as a cab driver. Because of their age, they do not have enough points to qualify for "skilled worker" category. My brother is very excited and hopeful, and keeps asking me "when?", and I do not know what to say to him any more. To be qualified for the "skilled worker" category he may have to wait another 10 years, and it will be much more
difficult for him to integrate to the society than now, while he is young (he is only 20 now, and a student)..
I will try to contact my MP ASAP(she is NDP)
I am not sure how lawyer can help (as some suggest)
For the most part, immigration lawyers are only helping to prepare documents,and have no influence on the immigration process itself.
