I can give you two examples of what we often see at the clinic. One is with regard to the access to employment issue. Usually it's the husband who is not able to get a decent job in Canada. The wife and kids are in Canada. The kids go to school in Canada, but often the husband has to move or go overseas to get a job that pays enough to support the family in Canada. Of course, in some cases they may not even be able to retain their permanent resident status, because they may not be working for a Canadian employer. At the end of the day, the question becomes whether or not they have a centralized mode of residence in Canada.
The second example would be students who are studying in another country. I think somebody gave an example of someone going to Harvard or Yale. It may not be Harvard or Yale. It could be another university, but the fact is that their families are here. Their parents are here. The kids go overseas to study, but they come back to Canada. Then they have to wait much longer before they can become citizens. Is it really in the best interests of Canada to delay their citizenship applications?
