Conservatives Continue to Disrespect the Immigation System

After the recent vote to dismantle the equality of the Canadian immigration system, the news for prospective visitors to Canada continues to worsen. It has emerged that several embassies, including the Canadian embassy in China, around the world are permitted to outsource the processing of visa applications to third-party service providers. This is completely unacceptable!

Ever since the Conservatives have come into power, the quality of service administered by Citizenship and Immigration Canada has continued to decline. Canada needs to ensure that individuals applying for entry to Canada (whether that be as a prospective citizen or merely as a visitor) are processed confidentially and promptly. These outsourcing companies cannot guarantee privacy and confidentiality to applicants which is just disgraceful.

We need to get a Liberal government back in power to ensure that Citizenship and Immigration Canada is given the respect and leadership it deserves and requires.

If the Liberal Party were giving immigrants the respect and leadership they deserve and require, they would have showed up to vote against the Tory bill - they didn't so your point is moot.

The problems with the immigration system didn't just appear overnight, they are the result of decades of mismanagement by both Conservative and Liberal governments. You probably didn't notice the problem before since the Liberal majorities ignored the problem.
