3Expression of interest process gets panned
IRCC reached the submissions cap by 1211 p.m.,
at which point it announced on its social media
channels that the form submission period was
over. Posts to IRCCs social media channels
questioned a tweet from IRCC that was published
just after 12 p.m. announcing the form will be
available momentarily. Thank you for your
patience. IRCCs tweet, which was subsequently
deleted, was followed moments later by the
announcement that the Interest to Sponsor
submission period was over. Many frustrated
users some who said they have been trying to
sponsor family through the PGP for years
condemned the process as unfair. This is not a
concert ticket you are selling, this is about
uniting families. The whole process is
atrocious, wrote Twitter user Naimul
Khan. Mohammad Keyhani called the expression of
interest process completely unfair and
un-Canadian. A number tweeted at Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau asking him to launch a review of
IRCCs Interest to Sponsor process.
4First-in replaced controversial randomized
approach
IRCC resumed a first-in approach to accepting
expressions of interest and issuing invitations
to apply to the PGP after facing widespread
criticism for its move to a randomized
lottery-style approach to invitations last year,
which many also said was unfair. IRCC said the
randomized approach would level the playing field
and give everyone the opportunity to be selected
to sponsor their parents and/or grandparents, but
critics said it left family reunification to
chance. When it announced last summer that it
would adopt a first-in approach to the PGP in
2019, IRCC said it was a result of listening to
stakeholders and closely examining the
PGP. IRCC said the changes to the application
intake process for 2019 will streamline access
to the program and improve client
experience. Genest told CIC News that client
service will remain at the centre of all our
programs and said the current Liberal government
has quadrupled the intake of applications for the
PGP to 20,000 from 5,000 under the previous
Conservative government. Making sure families
can be reunited with their loved ones is a pillar
of our immigration policy, Genest said.
