The minister for Citizenship currently has the knowledge of only a few cases and they have unearthed about 4000 cases in their files in Sydney.N.S., with the freedom of information laws.

I was following it up with CBC Cananda and it is reproduced to the group and you and I would urge you to fill out an application and send it by courier and retain a copy for your files and the receipt from them to prove your date of filing. Also keep a log of the phone calls and this web inquiry too.

I know the Political solution takes a longer route but with a cut and dried solution for one and all. That will be the one that you are waiting for and having done so thus far it will be well worth the wait.

Your patience will ultimately pay you the dividend.

Good Luck.

Freddie.
