Kinda sad my previous post were deleted.

Anyway, what do you guys think of this article:
Moving to Canada was harder than I thought. I'm not sure I'd do it again

Frankly speaking, what was a banker from an under developed country trying to achieve in Canada?

"I was still eager to come to Canada, hoping for better job opportunities, higher salaries and a brighter future for the kids."

If one is looking for a better opportunity, they better develop skills that are in demand in Canada. Being a Branch officer in a renowned bank is not going to cut it. My grad room mate who was a PO in a Mumbai bank did his MS in Technology Management (US) and now he is working as a Business Analyst here in US. His 3 years of Bank job experience in India became completely useless now. I know he tried to learn new software tools (Non-coding) and spent his time developing skills that are needed for the job market. SKILLS matter.

Canada has systematically eliminated all its manufacturing industry. Those that survive are directly linked with real estate. Manufacturing accounts only for 10% of GDP. Even the high tech manufacturing is absent in Canada. With the massive amount of fresh water, world class universities, highly educated population, widespread trade agreement and political acceptability world over with no sanctions you would expect it to have semiconductor fabrication industry but it is strangely missing. There are semiconductor design houses but then those have more in common with software than with manufacturing.

There is some oil and gas extraction industry but that is the extent of it.

Incidentally, the other side of the Great Lakes is filled with all sorts of industries right from Semi Conductor to Automobile to Ship Building to Food Production. All these industries need fresh water and Great Lakes has 20% of world's fresh water for less than 0.5% of the World population. London, Windsor and other cities on the shores of the Great lakes should have been industrial hubs had Canada simply followed the US industrialization trend.

Only one thing I would say is, do your research before coming.

Hi guys
I am filling the post ITA forms and have some difficulties to do so, please advise !

• In the studies section I mentionned that i was a student from sept 2013 to Sept 2014.
• In the meantime I mentionned in Personnal activities that i had an internship between March 2013 and Sept 2014. Is it okay? I put the internship and the full year of study in 2 different lines (overlap).

• Also, in the adress section I mentionned 2 different adresses for that period, as my internship was not in the same city than my university.

Is it okay ? and clear ? or should I add a LOE? If so, in which section I should add it ?

Thank you sooo much ! *

That is "one" of the side effects the immigration levels Canada has planned for the last few years with the Liberal leadership.

It will self-regulate even more as time passes, meaning it will get worse and create division among the population in the future. This has been tested and proved countless times, all over the world, from New York to which ever place you want to stop.

For immigration to function properly and sustainably, it has to be on point with a certain goal and preferably as a means to an end. Not to mention, in very few numbers.

I have said a number of times, Canada doesn't need anything close to the immigration levels they have planned. Especially, the number they have appointed to each category of immigration.

If you can get "natives" (and I do not mean Native Natives...) to mate with each other, this problem would not exist. All this talk of "very few numbers" does not take in account of one simple reality : Canada has a looming crisis of old people to care for and provide for and if they do not "import" massive amount of young working force, their budget will collapse. Its that simple. Baby boom produced babies but it also produced senior boom in future because sons and grandsons of baby boomers can not procreate by choice.

Actually, there is a country that is much more concerned about "Harmonious society". Its called Japan. Till very recently, it was almost impossible to become Japanese or even stay in Japan permanently. The general opinion was as anti immigrant as it gets. Certain immigrants were outright seen as "monsters" or so called "monsta-gaikokujin". The word Gaikoku-jin for immigrants actually mean outside country people. It was as in your face discrimination as it gets in Japan. Sadly for them, it did not pan out well. These days they are working really hard to attract immigrants (temporary or even permanent). There are limited takers for their immigration program though. Language and cultural barriers hurts. Funny thing is that Japanese are actually surprised by it.

The "research" part is overrated.

I stayed in Canada for almost 5 years before committing myself to PR. I am seeing a rapid degradation of everything around here, especially in BC. Healthcare is totally messed up to the point you can not even get emergency treatment. Broke a knee? Too bad come back in 1 month. Yeah its that bad. Need a plumber for clogged toilet? Too bad, next appointment available is 1 week away. I had two plumbers cancel their appointment on me at the last moment for fixing a water pipe leak. I see entire downtown turning into a ghost town with businesses closing right left and centre. And these businesses were running since 15-20 years. I see almost ALL clinics closing because doctors are retiring or shifting to tele health. I also see rents shooting through the roof because of increase in interest rates which have increased mortgage payment for a lot of landlords who stupidly took multi million dollar loans. I am seeing stupid NIMBY idiots who resist any change in zoning because that may just lower their home valuations.

It a mess that needs to be witnesses first hand to comprehend it. No amount of research can make you believe the fucked up condition of this place. I will suggest stay away from BC like plague. Alberta is a much better option... perhaps?

Hi everyone- My COPR mentions landing city as Vancouver.
Do I necessarily have to land in Vancouver?

So I had Alberta job offer, without LMIA and I said yes to job offer question in EE profile but no to Positive LMIA section. Under documents for PR application: They have asked these two:

A) Offer of Employment
B) Letter of Employment

Should I upload the same job offer I have for both sections? I saw the instructions and both questions seems to ask kind of same information.

A is a letter that a company had a opening and they offered you a position mentioning job rate, type of employment, hours they will offer and job duties they want you to perform.

B is a letter that you are working with the company, job rate, job position, type of employment, hours working per week, start and end date, job duties.

You sure?

B) Letter of Employment


An employment letter is an official document printed on company letterhead stating that you will be employed in Canada by that company for a specified period of time. The employment letter must include your name, the details of your employment in Canada, and the company's contact information.

It may also include:

• details such as your tenure with the company
• your title, position and duties
• approved vacation periods (if travelling to Canada for holidays), or information about whether the company will cover all your travel expenses (if travelling on business for this company), etc

Regardless of all this, my comment was on the situation of migrants in that particular post. They should have done research before moving, simple as that.

This is story of every country at the moment mate, Australian healthcare is no different, almost a year waiting on elective surgery, delays in ambulance staff, downtown's are ghost town after 2 years of lock downs. Pandemic changed all this mate, it will take some time to recover
