Such a messed up system. Most conversations about immigration reforms omit improvements to legal immigration. Taxation without representation I guess.

The travesty is that very few people know that the wait for India born folks is 120 years! That's not a typo, it's actually more than a lifetime. And those who do, don't care much - these are real people, real families stuck in a limbo, unable to travel every time their applications are in flight, unable to start businesses that would contribute back to the economy.

Hopefully Canada sees a great deal of growth - their immigration intake is merit based, instead of an arbitrary per country cap.
