According to CBC News and official government statements, applications for immigration to Canada may now take up to 600 months (!). All or most applications in the system are expected to be binned to clear the backlog.
Note to hopeful newcomers: make sure your life expectancy is at least 150 years.

Being “open to work” doesn’t mean desperate. It doesn’t mean I’ll play by broken rules or waste my time jumping through pointless hoops.
