Canada National election date 19th October. Getting worried if new Govt. rejects all the applicants in quee like 2009 for policy change. So many applicants that time got rejected by new Govt. at the last stage after long waiting. They made a suit in federal court against the decision and their appeal is still hanging ! !
Only Allah knows what is waiting this time !
