Immigration Canada, or how to take advantage of any flaw to the administrative Absurd

Good. 2 observations:

1. Petitroize is very helpful and has not yet pointed, which allowed us to pass the citizenship test yesterday morning without additional stress.
2. The review itself was certainly not necessarily difficult, but the questions were so confusing (ie not like the examples in the book). As His Eminence also had other issues that I was not so much what to look for. But it was very feasible, with revised and unless a big bad luck, we should all get away with a minimum of 18/20. (Bottom of 15/20 is owed an interview with the judge)

By cons, where it thickens, it is after. Because after having done the test, you should place in the next room and have all your documents (originals) to a citizenship officer. Whose job basically is to verify that what you wrote in your file citizenship application is true, namely that between your arrival in your application and you spent 3 years minimum on Canadian soil . And that, it is verified by auscultation dates buffers input / output (ie travel) on the passport. But their

*&?%$#process took so long that my passport ... had time to expire.

This required me to do it again this summer in France .* But now, when you do redo your passport, you can no longer keep the old. (I asked for express)

Result: the agent makes me understand that with a passport which dates from 2010, it will be difficult to check the dates of my trips between 2005 and 2009, fatally.

... How

say. Shock? Consternation? Promise of high blood pressure? Lucubration of curses against the process that has been visibly tightened considerably in recent years, under the aegis of a minority government? Lucubration the same addition of other expletives against the absurdity that he wants is ALWAYS a flaw somewhere, and that when one is faced with an administration, you can be sure that it will defeat them thoroughly ?

Especially since the agent to explain that we can no longer keep his old passport now tells me that "well they had to change their procedures," implying that he does not believe too much in too my story ...

Happiness is therefore to say that our fate in the hands of a judge of citizenship (which is the standard procedure apparently) but we have to rely on his kindness, or perhaps that of his wife, or the first night that his kid would , or the first dictation mistakes that would bring her senior, or whatnot, to make it a good mood and believe in the veracity of the dates that I mentioned in my application.

happiness too, that process could be delayed by one-only-knows-how-not-to-time because of this history of expired passport. Process that involves all the remaining applicants, therefore also including His Eminence the record does not pose any problem report that he, his passport has not yet expired.

Happiness finally, is to rotate and return it all in his head, wondering how much we will be able to prove that I have not left the territory longer than what is allowed, we saw that here full time (taxpayers, homeowners, school children, credit cards and bank statements, for example but I am not employed ...), we are even people that I consider exemplary citizens whose right voting could be denied again and again for a fool. History. Passport (foreign!) Expired.


balls. Or rather: the mégaboules.

Talk about a "formality."



* history of the expiry of my passport alone deserves a ticket, but here I must confess that I do not want super super dwell on the subject.
