Trudo Lemmens and Canadian Citizenship

Canadian citizenship: The 49-year-old, who holds the Scholl Chair in Health Law and Policy at U of T, has been waiting more than three years to receive his Canadian citizenship. Hes one of hundreds of thousands caught up in the backlog of applications for citizenship. And hes not sure why it has taken so long, according to The Star. What particularly irks him is that as an engaged citizen, he wants more than anything to vote. But he cant without citizenship and For Trudo Lemmens, an associate professor at the University of Torontos Faculty of Law, getting Canadian citizenship has become an exercise in frustration. Try as he might to find out the reason for the delay, Lemmens cant seem to get answers. It has been so frustrating, particularly the lack of explanation, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
