Dear Jonson,
This is my 2 cents for you.
The whole purpose of immigration is because of the low population density, low birth rate, high ratio of elder to younger class.
Canada with the vast area is ironically the least populated area in the world. Just to give you a mental picture , India (my country) has 358 person per sqkm while USA has 33.7 person and you know about canada's density? It's 3.9 per sqkm. And do you know the how much they import, 416.6 billion dollars. Just imagine country with roughly 3.9 person per sqkm is importing more than the India with 333 person per sqkm. Yes , surprised? India's import is 359 billion dollars.
Now you may wonder, why am pointing out this stats? I may sound deluded but worry not . Canada has copious amount of untapped resources such as oils and minerals on their northern side and their eastern and southern border are endowed with potential farm lands (canada is the 5th largest agricultural exporter in the world) . Hope you get a big picture now. It has vast number of resources yet meager workforce to exploit them (till date). It needs farmers, miners, hard labors , programmers , support persons, journalists, receptionist , builders, bakers and the list goes on. What's better option than encouraging their citizens to work well at night ?
but wait, haven't I said, canada has less birth rate
. Oh yeah, then it all downs to immigration isn't ? Canada needs workforce, especially skilled workforce, this immigration trend has to continue to sustain their population and economical balance.
- Express entry is one way, but lot number of people are emigrating back to their origin as they have less patience in nailing a decent job in Canada.As of 2016, nearly 64,305 people are emigrated from canada from which 13,450 are from Ontario.
- Not all refugees are accepted, nearly 39 refugees/ illegal immigrants/asylum seekers are deported from Canada daily.
- With respect to H1B, the bill has passed but to make it into a law, it needs to consider the following, a support from opposition party (46% votes for trump , what about opinion from the reminder?) , effect on foreign relations, corporate pressure, How can local companies can fed their skill needs?. So I don't think the bill will be lawed for another 1-2 years.
Hope I provided rational explanation. People out here in this forum are needed to be optimistic not only through out their visa process but also after they get to land in Canada and "Ray of hope" is an avenue for us. Am pretty sure, people here are much matured , doing their process without help of consultants and they are not deluded (they just claim to be) and they very well predict what the future holds for them. so we don't need cold showers as CIC is already showering us on monthly basis, ROH is our lukewarm.
Every dynasty has a beginning and an ending. Indian empire had one, so does China, Mongolia , Greek ,Turkey, Roman, Spain, France, Britain and now America. I believe canada is a future and much members out here inclined to my intuition.
