回复: 申诉信英文版更新，大家来确认下，无误就定了！！
Dear Visa Office，
Thank you for reading this letter. We are a group of Immigration Applicants (Skilled Worker category) from various locations in China, who have been compelled to present this petition due to the concrete and material distress we are being put through in the course of our experience navigating the immigration process at the Hong Kong Immigration office.
Our main concerns are outlined below:
Issue One: Inefficiency of CIC has created a huge backlog of cases.
Applicants before 27th Feb,2008 have seen our timeline stretch to as more as 55 months, without being given any sign that we are progressing through the system. The C-50 policies go against the principle of “First Come, First Served”, by lowering the priority given to Pre-C50 applicants.
Issue Two: Disregard for Pre-C50 Skilled Worker Applicants from CIC.
1. Pre-C50 applicants are being given no updates, requests, or other signs of progress, even after the waiting periods sketched out to us have long passed. This leaves us in a state of limbo, unable even to make short-term plans for our lives in China whist we wait for our cases to be processed. This complete silence from the immigration office causes substantial problems in our daily lives and work, and feels to us to at least border on contempt for these applicants.
2. The passing of Act C-50 provides the CIC with an effective tool to clear some of the backlog. However, the Office continues to leave four-or-more-year-old Skilled Worker applications unfinished rather than go through the hearing, approval, and/or rejection procedures
We cordially request that the issues below be addressed:
1. Please Increase quota for Pre C-50 applicants .
2. Process C-50 and Pre C-50 on an effective 1:1 ratio basis.
3. Please give us a clear sense of our applications’ progress, along with some kind of rough schedule reflecting the realities of the CIC, and improve transparency of the hearing procedures. Maintaining the status quo is disrespectful to the applicants’ human rights, and may also tarnish the public image of the Canadian government;
4. Old Case applicants like us intend to continue to address the unfairness and injustice of the current policies and implementation. If the plan of the Hong Kong office is to decrease the accumulated cases through attrition by leaving cases unfinished and causing applicants to change their plans, we will not co-operate by giving up and staying home.
5. We also insist that the rules and policies be implemented fairly and justly. This includes grandfathering in cases presented before rules are dramatically changed, as happened when Bills started 27th feb,2008 and 26th june,2010 dramatically changed the situation of Skilled Worker Applicants. We should be processed under the rules in place at the time of our applications.
Thank you again for taking the time to read this letter. We understand the arduous task that the CIC faces, and hope you can understand the real and measurable harm that is resulting from the huge amount of uncertainty that we have been expected to accept as part and parcel of the immigration process.
Sincerely
