in great part because of the numerous applications from US citizens. Both my sons are gay, and both are in long term relationships. There apparently is somewhat of a LGBTQ fast track option due to backlash in the US. My son is going to hire a Canadian immigration attorney to work with him through the citizenship by descent process for the three of us, and then will be needed to work with him and his partner to get the family visa for his partner. It's definitely worth the money to me if we can speed up the process for them.
