You have ads out there saying that you're doing all this because of the long wait. These ads are deceptive. Bill C-50 won't have any impact on the 925,000 applicants who are backlogged. Even if this bill passes, it won't affect those who applied before February 27, 2008. There's no backlog on student visas or work permits. Yet Bill C-50 says your department will have the right to reconsider these applications. Even if they qualify for a visa, you are taking their right to a visa. There's no backlog. Why would you change this rule so it affects everybody else? It doesn't make sense, and these ads are deceptive.
The community is saying it's damaging, it's dangerous. Yesterday, I heard another D word, which is “dumb”. So you have your three Cs and the community has three Ds. That seems to be the comment out there.
