Ray of Hope thread and so many people wasting their time discussing what if Canada discontinues their EE program if Scheer wins the elections. Blimey. A few points:
1. As someone rightly pointed out, the Conservatives were the pioneers of the immigration scheme in place today. The Liberals did make it more 'open' but the Conservatives aren't against it. There is hullabaloo around the refugee scheme, but that does not concern us. As far as FSW is concerned, and as a fellow Indian (most EE applications are from India), I'd say stop being so insecure. We aren't escaping civil war in our nation. All of us have troubles in our personal lives, but let's not lay them bare here on this forum. Work hard and come to Canada. Why speculate so much about something that you cannot control?
2. As again someone correctly pointed out, Canada will not STOP a scheme that's a success. They need people, people get money, money fuels the economy, economy grows...
3. The most natural course (and this is my opinion) that the Canadian immigration program is going to take is:
a. Already in motion. CRS of 462. Isn't it competitive already?
b. Tighten the noose around PNP programs (Like Australia has done) in the future to make sure people aren't exploiting it to do the most obvious thing in Canada - move to the GTA.
