canuck78 is right, you don't understand. There should be no seeing the "picture in every corner" when it comes to asylum claims. You either need protection GENUINELY or you don't. As canuck suggested, see the picture in every corner in terms of a student visa or skilled worker programs, otherwise I hope you have a conscience and not be part of those who abuse the system that makes it so much harder for those who have TRUE needs to be protected by this country. Even if you do proceed with an asylum claim, anyone here will tell you, you will 100% be rejected and as for your friend who "invited" you, good luck inviting any one else.
