That's just my opinion and we can agree to disagree . BTW, macleans which leans moderate liberal, also shares my opinion, as do many right wing think tanks - https://macleans.ca/opinion/canada-has-shifted-to-the-left/

Yep. I just think Canada has gone far too left. I'm not a rightwing nut but it's just so apparent what happens to a country when the politics swings far left or far right. Both are disastrous. US on the other hand has both red and blue states that balance eachother out.

Yes but they're definitely enabled and encouraged by the Canadian governments policies. For example - allowing international students to work 40 hours a week outside campus. That's ridiculous. It's they're deliberately creating legal loopholes to be exploited. When I was an international...

My two cents- move to canada only if you have loads of cash OR a job offer in hand

Correction - country has been flooded with "unqualified" immigrants. It's sad. I have a master's degree in STEM from USA and I was not able to find a job in Canada. What to say of the thousands of Indian students who get admission in scam colleges like Humber/Seneca and come here by...

Canada's immigration and job market are totally out of sync with each other. I am in same spot as you. I have made 4 trips to canada in total in last 5 years after getting PR and spent approx USD $15k in total living there, trying to maintain RO and finding job but couldn't get one. Had I stayed...

Did you enter Canada? I'm in the same situation..

Hello, It's great that you were able to cross the border without being reported. Can you expand a bit on what do you mean by "strategically choosing time to cross the border"? Did you chose a specific month/day/date/time? I'm in similar situation and your advice would be helpful. Thanks

is your pr card valid or expired?

I really hate for this to be true. But I have lived on this planet for more than 3 decades and I think I have a general idea of how biased humans can be. I speak this as a brown immigrant living in America. On paper - racism is outlawed. On paper. That's the keyword. Hell, I've experienced more...

Glad to know that it went smoothly for you. However, I can't help but wonder if you had a passport of a country that requires a visa to travel to Canada. Also, not to be racist or anything, but I think the probability of being sent to secondary increases exponentially if you're not the right...

I have another question with regards to the PRTD - What happens if a PRTD is approved (due to medical reasons etc., after an appeal)? - Is the RO clock reset? Does the PR get 5 more years to comply with RO? Can they apply for a new PR card?

Just preparing for the scenario of being able to sustain myself in case I'm unable to find a job, looking at the Canadian job market which is very saturated in Tech and economy is also not that great.

Other than dividend paying stocks, (which, if I calculate at 5-10% annual dividend, would need anywhere from $500K - $1M invested - obviously I don't have that much), I cannot think of any other passive income source. Were you referring to something else? Also, I am in my mid thirties and...

I just took some time off to understand the living expenses and calculate how much money I would need to save to live without a job for a year. In order to continue my current US lifestye as a single guy in Canada. And I was absolutely blown away by how EXPENSIVE it really is to live up there...

I'm not sure I understand your point. Did you mean to say that arriving with a trailer full of goods and displaying an intention to move permanently INCREASES the odds IN-FAVOR of being questioned and reported OR does it DECREASE the odds of being questioned in secondary and reported?

Thank you all for the inputs. Can I get any recommendations for good lawyers? I would like to discuss my situation and get some legal advice. I know this forum's owner is one, however more recomnedations would be helpful.

Thanks Besram, I had a few follow up questions - 1. In the event that I'm reported at the border, will the officer confiscate and/or destroy my expired PR card, or do I get to keep it as is? 2. Can I be reported ONLY IF referred to secondary? Meaning that, I cannot be reported WITHOUT going...

Thank you for your inputs. I really appreciate it. I will prepare a draft of my situation to bring along when I cross the border. I have searched on this forum and find quit a lot of useful information. However, one thing I have not really been able to determine is how to quantify the odds of...
