Slow justice is no justice, when it comes to visitor visas. I think we have to keep that in mind. Any appeal process has to move very quickly, and that's why it has to be an administrative process.
We talked about police clearances. You get police clearances for permanent residents. They take months to accumulate. You will destroy your tourism industry if you ask every tourist to obtain police clearances from everywhere they have lived. There is always a balance.
If you can't get your passport back for 60 days from the consulate in New York and you live as a legal resident in the U.S., even though you're not a U.S. citizen.... You're in a pretty low-risk area; why is it taking so long? You're not going to get to Quebec on time for your visit.
Speed, and not just the right decision but quick decisions, are very important to make this process work.
