May not be young but they were resourceful enough to get an LMIA. ;)

Hmmm, not quite true. US does have the diversity lottery program, also the EB streams (specifically E4 & E5) don't require sponsorship.

You might be able to apply as a self-employed person (cultural activities). Check this link < www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/self-employed/apply-who.asp#definitions >. Hope this helps and goodluck whatever happens..

It's too early to say after two draws. Also, the first one was on Jan 31, second draw the week after (Feb 7) so that sort of contradicts your statement. Unless CIC releases the schedule, we will all just have to wait. P.S. Anybody here an admin or a mod? There should be a sticky for this board...

Don't know about Australia's IT job market (better if you research your specific position here < joboutlook.gov.au >), but I did live there for almost a year and I certainly enjoyed my stay (I'll quote something from a previous post of mine regarding the same topic): Furthermore, you're from...

Either way is good, as purplesnow said, with EE it should be done within 6 months or less, and if you do family-class (processing times vary by visa office), you get an open work permit while your papers are being processed. I guess it's just a matter of how fast you want it - if your score is...

I'm not supporting any petition against immigration dude! [ Be careful on your choice of words next time :P ]

LOL ;-) +1 even though I'm not against the new system..

I say go for it. The demand may not be as high as other jobs but it doesn't mean that it isn't needed. Side note: I'm an IT professional with a little bit of HRIS work, so recruiters reach out to me regarding their HR vacancies (ex: HRIS Analyst, HR Administrator, etc), I noticed in their job...

Good luck then! Some people are going overboard (just check my reply to other posts) but at least you seem to be cool and calm regarding this new system.

CIC is just balancing out the labor shortages. Yes, you maybe more educated than someone who scored 818, but that person could be doing trade (or any other work) that has a legitimate shortage ( www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign_workers/lmo_statistics/annual-top-occs.shtml#CA-2012 ). If the...

CIC is just filling out where the shortage is < www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign_workers/lmo_statistics/annual-top-occs.shtml#CA-2012 >. If we go through with what you want, then Canada will be a nation with a huge surplus of highly educated workers with almost no one doing the menial/trade...

My answers in blue:

Student Visa + PGWP ≠ Permanent Residence! Your path to permanent residence (and eventually citizenship) is through CEC. You actually have an advantage already considering you have studied and gained work experience in Canada (and it shows, most of you have 400-500 scores, right?). If you're...

i'm guessing 817, and i'll even call the date (Feb. 16). gl everyone..

I applied to NZ back in 2012 and got an ITA but held off as I got an extension on my contract/visa here in the US (plus, almost all of my family is based here). I lived in Australia for almost a year - fond memories: beautiful place, friendly people. I would say if you come from a country...

Are you gonna give a prize? ;D
