Whichever way you look at it - people who have been affected by this draconian rule should find a way of benefiting by hook or crooklemess wrote:If you had the power to set your own rate why would you be charging them only £25 at the moment ?
Contractors operate in a free market mate. If you have that much power to unilaterally raise the rates you should have done so anyway !

I think we should be grateful that they haven't changed it to say 7 years on WP for ILR. Their country their rules basically.

I also think the Guardian post does not go far enough in highlighting the problems here.lemess wrote:I read the guardian post and have some comments.
I hate to come across as unsympathetic ( I'm not) but just posting notes on sites bemoaning the fact that you have to wait one more year is not going to attract many people or indeed change anything. Think objectively - why would anyone feel that a highly skilled person waiting an additional 12 months for settlement is a big issue they would get concerned about ? They would (rightly) assume that being highly skilled they will easily be able to have an above average job for an additional 12 months and just why this is a tale of woe rather than a minor inconvenience doesn't become obvious when seen from the perspective of a normal citizen who is generally not interested in the minutae of immigration rules.
To be succesful you need to highlight exactly what problems this is going to cause you, the unfairness of it , the financial cost and the likely number of people affected. That may be a stronger message.
Also I think everyone needs to be clear before they start mobilising support on what they are campaigning for. Is it to change the transition period, scrap the 5 year period or only apply it to entrants after a certain date etc.

I believe it takes 3-4 years for a decision to be made and it also involves you getting police records from all countries you have ever lived in. And the process seems to be getting progressively slower. Compare that to the straightforward UK procedure.
There is no guarantee that Canada will not change its rules at some points either. Immigration rules are predominantly made on the basis of the perceived interests of the country and its citizens and not based on the interests of the immigrant. This is true for every country.
You just have to deal with that hard fact.
