      I am simply surprised we never had measures like this in place already. Irks me that it take threats from the US for us to do what we should have been doing already.

      Flagpoling was always supposed to be a last resort for people with somewhat unique, niche, and emergency circumstances. But the resources dedicated towards processing work and study permits around the word haven’t kept up with the influx of immigration we’ve experienced. So now flagpoling has become relatively standard because otherwise applications get stuck for months if not years.

      Trump aside, it has upset a lot of State officials over the last few years as our influx of immigrants requiring support have been seriously gumming up border crossings. And I completely see their point, I’d be upset too.

      Now end LMIA visas and fake students visas. Make everyone apply for visas the historical way with background checks, medical and ability to support yourself.

      Foreign Students are NOT allowed to work off campus in the US. Why can’t this be a thing here

    4. What’s maddening is that the system was working FINE. Government cut itself out of the loop and handed the keys to Randian corporatists, who then built diploma mills and a system that encouraged underpaying TFWs and allowing all sorts of predatory transnational recruitment by most every industry that comes to Canada because the government is so friendly to the wealthy. Thanks Liberal-Conservative duopoly!

    5. I don’t get why people think this is so great. It’s not like flagpoling was a means of just getting a visa handed out to you for nothing. It was mostly a way of working around long wait times of going through processes by mail or for people who have received a PR to not have to fly somewhere and fly back just to be considered landed.

      If anything, flagpoling was a pressure release method for a bureaucracy that was slow and overburdened. Getting rid of it isn’t going to fix that problem. It’s just going to make it worse for individuals and businesses hoping to get things done expeditiously.

      I feel like people are just cheering on our immigration processes becoming more encumbered and inefficient just so that agents at the borders have more time for other things that aren’t even an especially important concern to Canadians.
