In regard to the non-permanent residency requirement, we feel there should be a reward for choosing Canada for work or studies. It shouldn't be a deterrent for some talented individuals who can choose other western nations as a place to work or to study.
In regard to the age requirements, we feel it's just an added complexity to further the extension of the ages from the beginning and from the end, and at the same time a talented member, a contributing taxpayer who's highly proficient in his work and study in another language, shouldn't be denied residency or citizenship just because it's not English or French.
