They were unaware that I was even showing up until I showed them my letter and the appointment time. When they realized I was in the right they "did me favor" and allowed me to have my appointed interview. When I went face to face with the agent she did not have all of the paperwork and documentation in front of her. Believe me, the documentation on my case is thicker than a Hong Kong phonebook. Her extent of investigation was doing a look up of the phone number of the company I have been working for on Google. When it didn't come up with our company name she pretty much took the road that the company didn't even exist. I pleaded to her to get the documentation that I know they had because we had proof before I went down that they signed for it when it was sent 2 separate times. She wouldn't have it. She decided to let herself believe that the company, which has employed over 100 people in Toronto alone, didn't exist. Thus beginning an even longer line of bullshit, documenting and even court dates.
So you can take your belief that someone wearing a turban is such a problem that Canada doesn't even care and lets everyone in. I will be proof that it is not as bright in the world as you make it out to be.
That's the joke, the Canadian immigration system and typical idiocy of government employees. Plus the fact that we have paid over $90,000.00 in legal fees to deal with this stupidity. So if I sound bitter it's because I am. Those people on that forum can also shove the process up their ass. People that go through the bullshit that I do don't waste time posting on those forums.

Well, in that case I am talking about 95% of those that do go thru process relatively fast. You must be unlucky 5%. I didn’t even have an employer, but did qualify for skilled worker program because I had degree that was in demand and work experience. In my case I didn’t even have to fly for an interview.
The bottom line is majority of immigration cases in Canada are 10 times faster than in the US. Family case in US takes 6 years. That’s official tracker from INS. 6 years!!! 10 years if you’re applying for anyone else in your family besides your nearest blood relative. F1 work visas take 5-6 years to process as well and have lots of restrictions as well.
Immigration system is extremely small and does everything opposite from what it supposed to do which is legalizing those that honor the rules. That goes to jane’s post about those that “want to immigrate to US legally”.. wanting is not enough and that’s why some people go for illegal route. Im not talking about Mexicans here.. You can’t go and become “legal”. That’s not how it works.
