My opinion is that I don't know what magic number I can put on the table, but definitely this number of 5,000 applications, which then became 10,000, really is not working. In January 2016, they opened for applications, and within two hours the applications were done and they just closed it. It means that the demand for family reunification and sponsorship is high.
I think this is the safest and one of the best ways of bringing people to Canada in order to have a community of different cultures, different families. They can help each other and live happily here.
As to quota, I have no idea how many applications we have to have, but I know the quota that we're practising right now does not work at all.
