While I completely understand what types of behaviors inform your views of the US, and I agree with some of it, I have to respectfully disagree with the second half of your argument. Yes, there are those who pander to racism and xenophobia, and glorify violence and war. However, this is not...

Some ways in which Canada outperforms the US: 1. Gun control laws 2. No (or less) mass shootings/ violent hate crimes 3. A woman's right to choose is respected - relatively (abortion laws) 4. Access to birth control options/better women's healthcare 5. LGBTQIA+ rights (or less discrimination)...

Thanks for sharing both sources! Wow, thank goodness someone invoked the right to information act and got the information released to the public. This is very useful in determining my future plans.

I can't seem to find that memo. Are these official IRCC press releases? Would you mind sharing the link to the memo, please?

I do mean legally. It is just that not all applicants are aware of their legal rights or have the resources to take legal action. It is incorrect to assume or suggest that applicants have zero rights.

My bad! Let me go up my daily dose of gratitude, clearly my supply is running low.

I don't agree. Canada doesn't owe anyone anything in terms of giving all applicants permanent residence. But they do owe applicants some degree of transparency and respect for basic human dignity. By human dignity I mean, some people have to retake their language exams, bio exams, and recertify...

True. EB visas are a great option (again primarily for academics) if he/she doesn't have a sponsor. The acceptance rate is pretty high (as of 2017) for those who 1) hold a PhD 2) and have worked in academia 3) or have peer reviewed publications.

H1B is not based on the lottery system for all professions. For example, people working in academia can bypass the regular H1B lottery.

It is interesting that there are certain individuals who respond to immigration questions on reddit, Quora, and even here that give the same reasoning for 1) why immigrating to Canada is a bad idea 2) why immigrants are ineligible to apply and why it is not even worth the effort. I just see this...

I started learning French upon the recommendation of an individual on this forum and I LOVE IT! It hasn't been as difficult as I thought and it is really very rewarding. The prospect of earning 50 extra CRS points is a nice motivation, but even without that, it seems well worth the effort! If...

With regard to your point about H1B VISA holders and the link you shared as evidence for their "low skill" levels. You seem to have confused low-skill with low pay. The problem with H1B is that US employers have started to underpay high skilled immigrants. The problem is that the salary and the...

Thanks for this recommendation! Looks like a REALLY great option for me. :)

Ireland is an interesting option. Would you mind if I DM you to ask you a few questions about it?

Thanks for the recommendation. I am looking into it.

I am very happy for you! :)

Sadly, this is what I concluded as well. Fortunately, I am only just graduating so I haven't had to put anything on hold and at this rate I am not willing to make that kind of commitment in the hopes that IRCC will finally speed up their processing speed and restart issuing ITAs to FSWs. Again...

I am waiting for an ITA which makes the process that much longer for me.

At this rate, I am looking for other options. I am not saying I am giving up on Canada completely. But I will have only myself to blame if by the end of 2022, I haven't looked for alternatives and Canada's immigration process is still at a standstill (or at best slow). I don't blame Canada for...

Thank you!!!
