It's very rare for someone to ask for my opinion. Not that my opinion matters, but since you asked .... From what you wrote, especially towards the end, it seems like you don't really care how EE deals with candidates as long as it starts favoring the people in your class, the PGWPs, and...

Yes, when the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act took effect on June 28th, 2002. CIC's website was just updated on that same day. Sounds to me like you're just picking an argument because of boredom and too much time on your hands. I'm not sure that paranoia is the word I'd use...

If you're saying what I think you're saying, that foreign student interest in Canada will drop, they you're way wrong. This has been covered in other posts and is getting repetitive too. Only in Canada do foreign students whine about not getting upfront permanent residence. There are no...

For what it's worth, I can bet my next paycheck there's not going to be any advance notice on CIC's webpage. What's going to happen is what usually happens with CIC. One morning we'll wake up and find that its webpage has been updated with the new residency requirement, and that's how we'll...

You mean June 3rd. I landed on June 2nd 2012, but you can't sign the application until the day AFTER you reach 1095 days of actual physical presence. So that means the earliest I can sign the application and put it in the mail is the morning of June 3rd.

For the main topic of this post, that's not possible. If they have to leave people's character out of it, there's nothing left. They have no real argument here. What they have is the same tired crybaby whine we've heard for the last few months: "I deserve PR because I studied here." Like...

In order to get any points for any activity in Canada (work or otherwise), you must first have been in legal status when you gained the experience. I suspect a good chunk of the 770,000 population are actually without legal status, so they can forget about getting any CRS points at all...

Will be eligible to apply Wednesday June 3rd. Counting the days ..... It looks like I'm on track to beat the new requirement. I will have 1095 days of actual physical presence on June 3rd, in ten days. Since I have taken four same-day drives to Buffalo, NY, I'm going to give it five more...

These are LMO statistics, not LMIA. They stopped issuing LMO's quite some time ago so your "statistics" are not only old, but also NOT exactly on point here. The LMO was a pointless process altogether since it had no advertising requirement, making it essentially just a formality to get...

You have no statistical evidence for this claim, because the Government has not released any data about the occupation distribution of successful LMIA candidates. This is just what you want to believe because it suits your ego. It's highly unlikely that Employment and Social Development Canada...

This has been said over and over and has been beaten to death already! As with any time when a privilege gets removed for good public policy reasons, there's going to be a lot of crying and huffing and puffing by those who have lost the privilege (in this case the ability to file an...

I don't know why you spend time presenting your arguments to him. It's not as if he's listening. No matter what you say, he's only gonna do one thing: scream about how HE deserves PR. If he didn't have his "studying in Canada" background, he'd be playing some other card. You don't get it...

Which is just another way of saying that if it weren't for the paperwork there wouldn't be as much motivation to enter into and hang onto the relationship. Again, that's a relationship maintained for the purpose of the paperwork, which makes it illegal. A relationship is supposed to exist...

I think we should just ask people what they want these days. That's how we should select immigrants now!! We ask them what status they want (PR or whatever) and then we give it to them, along with a complimentary order of french fries and a drink of their choice. It's the only way to stop...

Re: 10 th draw No Hopes Group There was no racial remarks in his post. Your speeches can be summed in one line "I deserve PR more than person X does because I studied in Canada and I'm already working there." It's the same line, said over and over by everyone in your situation, to deaf...

Are you saying that you and your "partner" are in collusion, faking a "relationship" for the purpose of getting you immigrant status? It sounds like you wouldn't have gone into this "relationship" if you had qualified for immigration independently. Now, THAT is illegal.

If you're so much more superior than those with LMIA, then you should be able to accomplish what they did: get an LMIA. Otherwise, your self-delusions of grandeur are just that, delusions in your head, and you did not really "compete" with any Canadian. You got hired for the same reason any...

I told them they'd be playing the lottery, but they wouldn't believe me. I got laughed at. I think the best laugh is the LAST one. :P :P :P

This whole discussion about the fairness of Express Entry is pointless. Express entry or not, it doesn't matter what system CIC comes up with for selecting immigrants. People are always going to scream that it's "Not Fair" UNLESS it gives them PR. So really, if you have an opinion at...
