@CitImmCanada Cool. What about the 1.8million application backlog? Also a historic record, any plans to solve it any time soon or are you just piling on more applications and kicking the can down the road?

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada Nothing better for @CitImmCanada to mark #InternationalMigrantsDay than by getting rid of the 1.8million immigration application backlog.

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada I guess that means that he'll make it a priority to get rid of the immigration backlog, right? The 1.8million case backlog that's been growing with no plan to resolve? Or is the plan to also help immigrants see first hand the complex realities of the immigration bureaucracy?

@SaimeResponde DEJEN QUE LAS EMBAJADAS EMITAN PASAPORTES DIRECTAMENTE!!! sean eficientes por una vez en su vida

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

Mi hija de 7 años tenía su cita ayer, llegamos a las 6:20am y era la número 39. Estuvimos afuera de la embajada por horas a -7°C!!! Es un abuso y una falta de respeto. Esto solo pasa en Venezuela, es el único país que pone a sus ciudadanos a pasar trabajo por un pasaporte

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@SaimeResponde la embajada en Ottawa no tuvo sistema en todo el día! Sólo pudieron atender a 5 personas. No es justo con la gente que viaja, pierde trabajo, pierde colegio, pasa frío para que al final salgan con las manos vacías. (1/)

@CitImmCanada Still no word from @CitImmCanada or @marcomendicino about the citizenship application backlog. It's is unfair to the hundreds of thousands of future Canadians that are being met with silence and neglect. CLEAR THE BACKLOG! #CitizenshipWeek #mycitizenship

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada @marcomendicino @CBCNews article clearly shows that there is an enormous backlog at @CitImmCanada. There is no way that the current rate of citizenship tests will ever get close to reducing the backlog as the whole process is riddled with bottleneck. This is not due to COVID-19.

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada @marcomendicino Just looking at the raw data, there is no way that @CitImmCanada will be able to get rid of the backlog any time soon. Applicants deserve a response from @marcomendicino and #IRCC on the Minister's plan to end the backlog #CitizenshipWeek

@CitImmCanada That's amazing news! @CitImmCanada Any plans for solving the citizenship application backlog for applications made in 2019 onwards? It is absurd that people have to wait more than 2 years to become citizens.

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada Fantastic! Any plans to get rid of the 87,000 citizenship application backlog? There are people that applied in 2018 and 2019 who are still waiting for a citizenship test.

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada Awesome! Will it also help with the citizenship application backlog for applications made since 2018 onwards?

FINTRAC has updated its guidance in relation to the Ministerial Directive on Financial Transactions Associated with the Islamic Republic of Iran. https://t.co/9OGn60kWNg

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada Thanks, but what about tests? That was the question. Any plans to resume tests soon?

[Alejandro Gonzalez A @agonzalez85]

@CitImmCanada are there any plans to resume citizenship tests soon? Seems like ceremonies are moving to virtual, any information on citizenship tests?

.@ONtransport Is there any guidance or explanation why Venezuelan drivers licences are not recognized like all other foreign licenses? I was just rejected because my LEGAL driver's license is laminated and not plastic.

On July 10, amendments to the Regulations under the PCMLTFA were published in the #CanadaGazette. Of the many changes, those concerning the methods to identify clients are the first to come into effect. https://t.co/OQIOToqsoL
