17to85 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 if he's not complaining then why the article about his troubles getting citizenship? It's a classic play for preferential treatment because of his celebrity status. So you agree that playing in the CFL should be considered a part-time job. well maybe they should just call it seasonal work. Quite frankly the rules exist as they are so I ain't gonna cry cause Burris can't get his citizenship yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The guy has lived in the country, played in OUR league and worked here in more ways then one for over a decade. I think that he is deserving of preferential treatment but barring getting an exemption, his work history, his charity and his work with kids at the grassroots level across canada ought to be enough to be given a canadian citizenship test.. No? Mark F and BigBlueFanatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rids Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Quite honestly as somebody going through similar situation in another country if he's made multiple attempts then he needs to find a different immigration lawyer. Any immigration lawyer worth their weight would have analyzed the situation prior to submitting all the paperwork and had a pretty good idea what the outcome would be and wouldn't submit the application until they believed it was a strong enough case.
