I agree that competition is good for Canadian society as a whole, but Canadians whose jobs are displaced will feel bitter. There is a reason that Trump's build the wall immigration rhetoric resonates with so many Americans. I agree that it's harder for landed immigrants to compete with...

Getting an LMIA is notoriously difficult, so I am not sure if we can get unbounded numbers of LMIA..

But what's the benefit of citizenship if someone from outside with slightly better skills can just come and displace you? Are Canadian citizens should at least preferred over foreigners?

Yes but PR offers more benefits than LMIA so it makes sense if getting PR is harder. PR allows to change employers, stay indefinitely in Canada, and receive social benefits. Also, LMIA is meant to protect PR and Canadian citizens from foreigners that can take their jobs. However, those...

Another question is how to maintain French proficiency in Canada (outside Quebec) when there is no exam to strive for? I would imagine its hard to maintain language skills if you don't speak or do anything with it every day.

IRCC has already issued probably ~35K ITA this 3 months alone, at this rate assuming an equal number of ITA for the rest of the year, they will issue ~140K ITA this year. I am not sure how will the math check out. Also, the CRS actually dropped to 75 during COVID because IRCC was desperate. I am...

The last 3 years were not a normal time due to COVID. The quota for economic immigrants through EE will increase from 83K to 109K next year so I assume the draw size will increase and the CRS will decrease instead. Maybe we will see CRS go back to 450s again? The thing that can keep the CRS high...

the question is the benefit of French beyond getting an ITA..

btw, if you believe that IELTS & TEF are relatively easy exams, then it is also relatively easy to get a Canadian PR right? Especially, if the score falls below 481, then we all just need to be: 1. Below 30 years old 2. Master's degree 3. 3 years of foreign work experience 4. CLB 9 IELTS

I guess if your score is around 440, then French is the only choice so it makes sense that you guys would have no regrets.. My question would be harder for someone who sits at 460 - 470, then it's more dilemmatic whether to learn French or to just wait. But somehow I see the patterns here...

I want to watch the video but I don't understand the language..

Just curious, how's the feeling of people who got ITA learning french through their blood and tears for several months or years, seeing that a lot of (arguably lazier) people got ITA just by waiting it out for several months? Do you guys regret learning French by any chance?

Hello all, I have taken a business administration certificate from Mcmaster part-time, remotely from September 2020 to April 2021, which is two terms for 8 months. The certificate is 15 credit hours. What should I put in the "level of education" for this certificate? I currently put it as...

I hope my story can inspire others to stop studying French. Hope for the best, prepare for the best. #StopTheFrench #AuRevoirFrench

Merci.

In the end, I got the ITA with 0 French. Au revoir, French!! #StopTheFrench

Just received it as well!

so, if my French is currently 0, I can get 4 extra points by learning French just for two months?
