Yes it's that simple, but what isn't simple is the way the immigration simple works!
Basically you apply from a consulate in your home Country expressing your wish to emigrate to Canada and make it your home, you then pass a little quiz to see whether you qualify, the government checks you over for months and sometimes years, and MAYBE you'll be allowed to call Canada home. Now I wish the system worked as well as that, but the "point" system they use often disallows good people for the dumbest reasons while letting in less than desirable people. What's happening more and more though is people are bypassing the system by claiming refugee
status even is everything is fine back home.
OK so you may wonder why this is bad for Canadians?? Well while they are here getting processed we pay for everything they have, medical, dental, housing, food ..... AND THEY AREN'T EVEN CITIZENS! You've also got the problem with letting people that are simply "jumping the Q"(:) forget how to spell Q) because they know they won't qualify under traditional rules..
SO that brings me to a recent event off the West coast of Canada ..... you've all heard about it, 492 migrants come on a boat from Sri Lanka and claim refugees status.
What's odd about this situation isn't a boat, it's the stories that have come up since, with the biggest one being;
"According to a secret government survey reported by QMI Agency Sunday, 71% of Tamil refugees in Canada who responded to the survey traveled back to Sri Lanka for vacations, business, or to sponsor a family member, bringing into question the legitimacy of their refugee claim." QMI agency
And here's another interesting point, it appears a small portion of these refugees are Tamil Tigers(a recognized terrorist group), and the $ paid for by the others was put into the Tamil Tigers Coffers

TORONTO - ""Some die-hard Tamil Tigers fighters allegedly snuck into Canada on the ship that brought 492 migrants to British Columbia, according to a pro-Sri Lankan government website.
Their goal is to start a chapter of the dismantled terrorist group in Toronto, said LankaWeb, which runs a pro-Sri Lankan government articles from around the world.
The purpose of the MV Sun Sea journey this month was to raise money for the Tigers, which is considered a terror group in Canada, and smuggle fighters to Toronto so they can establish a cell, said an article on the website, which was attributed to Sri Lanka United National Association of Canada.
The journey was "to gather the remnants of the Tamil Tiger fighting cadres in an asylum-granting liberal democracy such as Canada, and pursue the objective of carving out a separate state of 'Eelam' for Tamils in Sri Lanka," said the article.
"The Canadian pro-Tigers diaspora is the largest and most active segment in the world."
It alleged the group's supporters in Toronto will profit from the journey, which they helped set up by enlisting migrants who paid up to $50,000 for the trip. ""The story is that this seems to be simply a probe of our defenses, looking for a weakness, so they can tend a ton more ....... no need for coming through the proper channels EH!
What are your thoughts?? ME? send em back! and recent polls agree, see http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/08/19/15080536.html
