I'm talking about things like people losing their jobs, people having to leave Canada because of the expiry of certain things because their application hasn't come through in time, people missing delivery of their child in Canada, or marriages breaking down.
I have a client who contacted me just a couple of days ago. She's on the verge of a mental breakdown. She fears that her marriage is in danger because it's been almost four years now that they have been waiting for the case to finalize and it hasn't been possible. To me, the human cost, and the cost to the reputation of Canada when we're trying our best to attract the top talent in the world, by far outweighs a minimum of people who might slip through the cracks and get approved when they shouldn't have been.
