Hello,
This new system of points looks unfair.
I honestly do not agree the spouse's points to be added to the total points an applicant can obtain. This brings a detriment to the single applicants that might integrate better to the social and economic life of Canada. The single applicants are usually younger than married ones and the younger generation might not have the N years of work experience but they might have had better education and skills than the older applicants. And, as a single person, he/she might even marry with someone that is already in Canada...again, easier to integrate single people than married ones.
I am an expatriate myself and I see that married people tend to be little more isolated that the single ones, they prefer to spend the time with the family (which I understand), they don't go out so much, they still continue to live in their world instead of adapting to the new one.
So, it is totally unfair for a single applicant, with a degree in IT for example( Bachelor or Master), with 3-5 years of work experience, to have less points just because he/she is not married.
Pray, how the spouse will help the principal applicant to integrate to the work market from Canada? Why her language skills should be added?
I am a single applicant, with 10 years experience in IT, both in my country and outside my country ( I have been working for European Commission and European Parliament), I have good IELTS results, I talk 4 languages and I am not very old
but still, I lack points because I am not married.
Again, to me it doesn't look fair and I am frustrated because of this. What, should I marry now??!
I hope what I wrote did not offended anybody.
Anca
