据加拿大广播公司报道,1月28日中午12点整,加拿大移民部开放了2019年父母和祖父母担保方移民申请,共有27,000个网上申请名额。但仅仅在11分钟之内,所有名额都被抢完。不少人表示十分愤怒和懊恼,说新移民系统存在缺陷。
11分钟之后,移民部发布推文,说申请表格已经关闭。
“2019年父母及祖父母项目的担保表格现在已经关闭。如果你成功递交了表格,会在24小时内收到电子邮件作为确认。”
许多原本准备申请该项目的人,愤怒地在网上投诉,说他们为了填表,特意把时间腾出来,结果还没几分钟,系统就关闭了。
网友Naimul Khan在推特上写道:“你们不是在卖音乐会门票,这个项目的目的是让家庭团聚!但整个过程堪称残暴。”
I had my schedule cleared, computer set up, kept refreshing every few seconds. Form went from open to closed right away. This is not a concert ticket you are selling, this is about uniting families. The whole process is atrocious.

网友H@prsdkmt说:这原本应该是个公平的项目,否则移民还怎么能够和家人团聚呢?
@HonAhmedHussen this was supposed to be a fair process. How are immigrants supposed to unite with families?

有的网友表示,从12点刚过20秒开始行动,所有信息都是复制粘贴到表格里的,结果居然还是晚了。
Alex Kryuk表示:还不如用之前抽签的方式,比“公平的先来后到”要公平得多!
What an unfair system in 2019: started an app at 20 sec past 12, copy pasted all the data and was late! Are you seriously thinking that it’s fair? Better and fair for canadians to do a lottery than that “fair first come first serve” one

网友Ana Maria Maldonado写道:“我有好几名同事在工作室开网页想填表,但没有一个人能成功打开连接,用手机也是打不开!没有人能打开那个连接。这简直是作弊!真的!”
I had colleagues at work opening the website to fill out the form and none of them got the link to start, not even on the phones! Nobody got the link. This was rigged! Seriously! And then at 12h07 IRCC posted a tweed saying it wasn’t available and the 2 minutes later is closed!

还有网友要求,对移民部的担保程序进行独立审计。
之前的抽签制也曾遭到许多投诉,曾有市民表示,由于是抽签制所以一直搁置没有申请。于是,自由党政府舍弃了抽签制,采取先来后到的方式,最先递交担保表格并满足计划要求的保证人,将得到申请邀请。
按照2019年家庭团聚项目,20,500位父母及祖父母将被允许来加拿大,明年还有21,000个名额。
本次开放申请,之所以允许27,000人填写担保表格,其实是已经考虑到可能会出重复填表或错误的情况。
