A Chinese international student used to live with me. He's back with me for a few days before his flight back to China. Says he doesn't know if he'll be back - waiting on acceptance to a masters program . Almost 10 years of school here already - no PR. WTF 😢 @LenaMetlegeDiab
Canada's history is stained with examples of unjust and racist immigration policies. From Komagata Maru to the Chinese Head Tax (right of landing fee) to the White Canada immigration policy only abolished in 1962 - sad its still happening in 2026. Fairness is not a privilege. It
The protest in Mississauga was reported by OMNI News. We hope IRCC will expedite clearing the backlog so that applicants can return to their normal lives.

Hongkongers who stepped up to defend democracy were promised safety in Canada. Instead, an agonizing IRCC backlog is leaving applicants stranded in a dangerous legal limbo. Liberal govt must fix the processing delays immediately and fulfill its promise. https://t.co/Rh2OUYtgnK
We’ve been stuck in security screening check for years. It's not only incredibly hard for parent also apply on our son. The reason we want to speak out is to ensure our children never have to face the same exhausting situation.

Number of Chinese applicants referred for comprehensive security screening and the resulting outcomes.
The chart below does not include the fewer than five permanent residence applicants per year who were referred for human rights violations screening in 2021 and 2024, or the fewer than five permanent residence applicants per year who were referred for organized crime screening in 2022, 2023, and 2025.
It also excludes the fewer than five temporary residence applicants per year who were referred for VIT35 screening in 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025, as well as the fewer than five temporary residence applicants per year who were referred for organized crime screening.
Those numbers aren't just processing times, they represent the months and years that PR applicants have been left stranded. They did everything right, yet their lives are completely on hold.
Reasonable Timelines Procedural Fairness

10 years in 🇨🇦 and 1,237 days in security screening. Saeed and his wife are dedicated community members, yet their PR remains out of reach. Thousands of highly educated people are trapped in the backlog. The system is failing and needs to be fixed. #IRCC#cdnpoli#cdnimm#CBCNews
