Good points.

What's good about Canada then?

I am not in favor of 2 tier healthcare system. It is a sales pitch.

The moment you triage when you treat someone based on their ability to pay a higher amount so you can earn more money then you open pandora's box. Seriously.

Healthcare is one of the things I say should be distributed in a socialist manner.

The rich man suffering from bad bone on bone OA knee is no different from the poor man suffering from bad bone on bone OA knee.

Also remember that when you start this you will begin to pay for more frills which you might not want to. Eg man made waterfalls in the hospital. Concierge services. Gourmet in hospital meals. Cable TV Netflix Disney Plus. Single executive suite rooms. Presidential suites. Express checkouts/discharge. Premium plans. Premiums for special priority responses. Soon that so called 1st tier starts having it's own 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th tiers too.

And then people complain about why the 1st tier is so expensive! Sure the capitalists have swooped in.

And the guys in the 2nd tier will start slamming all healthcare workers as greedy and only want to serve rich people making them poor people wait in queue. And what about the doctors who work in the 2nd tier? People will be suspicious and say they must not be good that's why they stay in the 2nd tier. If they were so good they would go 1st tier. Unfair of course. Unjust as there will be HCWs who believe in fair equal care for all who are very competent. But alas human nature.

And then the 1st tier guys also start complaining why they have to wait at all if they are paying big bucks. There should be absolutely ZERO queue!

It is all expectations. And the expectation from some people is that healthcare is delivered one to one instantly anytime they want it.

Tough meeting those expectations.

I have worked in a country with a so called 2 tier health care system. So I know first hand.

You cant really reverse and control things when you open it up. It is wishful thinking.

Apologies to those of you who dislike posts that digress.

Have a merry xmas and a happy new year! Cheers!

Love Canada! I am completely settled here and happy with the decision. I am all in for publicaly funded healtcare and universal healthcare for every citizen. But as a healthcare worker i see a lot needs to be done and can be done. Not sure if 2 tier system will work or not but as a student we had a course about healthcare in Canada and we openly discussed pros and cons of the healthcare system and most of us took pride in having a universal healthcare system that was free for every citizen but some of us were open to idea of having a 2 tier system on a smaller scale to see if it benefited the healthcare system by eleviating some pressure. Like a pt with a fracture/ fever/ abdominal pains etc does not need to wait 6-8 hours to see a dr in emergency. The population growth has definitely outpaced number of hospitals / healthcare resources we have. I do remember Harper spending over a billion dollar on a G7 sumit not sure what year it was that just shows where the priorities lie. Jesus Now we have gone COMPLETELY off topic LOL Merry Christmas everyone and @nayr69sg and good luck to everyone who applied!!

It was previously mentioned by the minister that the draw results won't be known until next year.

Hello everyone, just joining this thread. Wishing all a happy and healthy New Year!

I tried to look for this info in the 126 pages of this thread but could not find it. Anyone knows how many interest forms were submitted for lottery in 2020? Just curious.

IRCC hasn't made the numbers public yet. People here were guessing 150,000.

Does anyone know if I can sponsor my sister only who is 14 years old? If so, in that case will the income requirement be for 2 people? I want to know if that is possible instead of sponsoring whole family(dad,mom etc)

Hi,

I have received CSQ and PCC for my parents. Please let me know what is the next step? Should I just email the documents to IRCC or post original copies.

No - not possible. Only option is to sponsor your parent through the parent / grandparent sponsorship program and include your sister as a dependent in their application.

I think my inner sense is saying that they will add 30000 along with 10000 invitations all together in this new year with one lottery draw in January 2021

I would not be suprised if IRCC merge the two quota at once... And doing that, IRCC would probably send out a lot more invitation too!
