I am in Canada for almost 8 years now, haven't got my PR, because I studied for 6 years then Job for 1.5 years. My PR is taking long time because I am going through the right way. Some of my friend left University, used PNP and so many different way to become PR within 2 years. Now they are Canadian Citizen. They drive taxi make 100k/yr. Send all the money back home and my dad call me every week, your friend already made 3 houses here and you are doing nothing there. you both went to Canada same time. I make almost half of what they make, they can hide some taxes but I am sick of paying taxes. Is that sounds fair ? But that is the truth.
The VOs might not be inferior than you, but remember , right now you are certainly depend on their action. My 12 grade teacher marked my paper. If he made me fail that time, I wouldn't be here today. I probably outsmart him later by doing BSc and MSc in Canada but at that certain time, he was inferior than me and there was lot depended on him about my life.
