FYI:
It takes less than a year for independent immigrant with skills to get thru Canadian immigration. Family cases take less than six month. It takes 6 years for the US. 6 years just to get a visa for your mom/dad/ etc.. If its you brother/sister its more like 12.

I lived and worked on a Visa in Canada. They make the Company prove no other Canadians can do the job before they allowed me in. If any other Canadian could have done my job, I wouldn't have been allowed in.
I know a friend married to a Canadian and it took several years for him to legally get into Canada. His parents can't migrate to Canada, but his Kids can. Like wise, I have a friend married to an American born in a different Country, it took equally as long for everything to come through. His parents can visit as often as they long, even for long periods of time, but they can never migrate here.
It's not easy anywhere... you should have to wait years. Non immediate family members shouldn't be allowed to migrate with anyone, and if they can it should take 2-3 times longer as they have no reason to be here.
