To,

The Minister of Immigration

Jason Kenny

We, The Buffalo Outcasts/ Forgotten Ones are 3000 Canadian Permanent Residency applicants who have been waiting for their cases to be finilized for more than 16 months.

 We write to you at this time to show how disappointed we feel seeing, that the backlog files' reviewing has been postponed in order to process new applicants who filed their cases less than 6 months ago.

This is what the Buffalo Outcasts/Forgotten ones are asking for:

1:PRIORITY  in processing their case files,

2:The hiring of extra personel in order to go through the remaining 3000 files;

This delay has caused innumerable challenges to us, the new immigrants. We had to extend our permits multiple times, most of us were requested to redo medical examination, let alone forgoing multiple job opportunities and the joy of being together with our families.And this all came at a very considerable cost.

We are proud to become a part of Canadian society and we will do our utmost to contribute to Canada's economy. All we want in return is just fair treatment.

We, the undersigned, call for giving the priority to the backlog files.

Please support our cause by signing this petition!

Thank you

This is so unfair. We have been waiting years and following all the rules but keep getting pushed to the back of the line.

Enough with the waiting game. process the backlog first because it is the only right thing to do.
