Same here. I used to despise them despite my own brother being one of them and I being a new immigrant myself.For all the tough talks from my end on this topic - landing here and seeing them has made me change my stance. Maybe(likely) they were stupid to believe in this student->PR route, but these govts(Federal, Provincial) and scam diploma mills knew better and still decided to let it happen.
I'll actively try not to kick them when they are already down. Millions of them will go back, but I hope the deserving ones do get what they want. If your brother needs any tips on learning french or even job related help, feel free to ask me or tap your network here. We will try to do what we can.
But I too have stopped that behavior and reversed it. They are clearly being scammed, and they are all someone's children. I swear they had huge smiles on their faces in the graduation ceremony. They believed in what Canada was offering them, I don't want to be the one to shatter that illusion for anybody.
My brother is already looking into French, he won't be buying an LMIA or any stupid stuff like that. If he gets the PR, good, if not then he's prepared to bid goodbye.
If you or anyone here has any entry level HR jobs, please please reach out. GTA would be nice coz I am here but anywhere is fine really.
