To be fair, I don't agree with @EscoBlades . I can all but guarantee that CEC-only draws will come back, and scores will go sub 400 once again. It just might take some time to get there. I have zero doubt that CEC-only draws will remain for the forseeable future.
I think IRCC should invite all 500+ scorers first if they want to continue with CEC only, such a waste not inviting them.
Nothing can help your anti EU view dude. I understand that indian fellows find it much harder to fit into Europe than NA, and also that you don't have the opportunity to be permanent in the US so that only leaves you Canada, but it doesn't change some facts.
It doesn't explain anything and people don't choose where they're born. I hadn't spent this much time with Indian/Eastern fellas before so I used to think everyone's view on priorities in life was quite similar especially when it came to immigration. But now I see that it's not true and Indian/Chinese peeps have (and rightly so) different priorities. So, while I still share my views on here I understand the reaction I get from some people.
In healthcare, there is concept of triage. Canada does it decently. Basically, if you have a trouble which can cause harm, it will be treated with enough speed. Things like heart conditions, cancers etc. If you have spondalistis or herniated disc which requires a MRI and then support? Well ... you won't get an appointment for 6-7 months minimum.
One of my friend has a family here in Vancouver. He works remotely in USA and used to go to Seattle each month for meetings. He was getting US salary. About 250K CDN. Decent deal. He is planning to move to USA for sometime (alone) to make even more and then come back.
Let me be blunt. In Canada, the biggest advantage as an immigrant you have is that you quickly grow as a community that is large enough to start mattering politically. It will not and will never happen in USA. The net impact is that you start getting policies and representatives that are for you. More importantly, Canada tolerates that. Another thing that will NEVER happen in USA. If you want to be involved politically in USA, you have to bend to fit their narrative. Canada accommodates immigrants narrative to a much larger degree. I can NEVER imagine an indian origin person to be EVER secretary of defence in USA. I can expect an Indian-origin or Iranian-origin defence minister in Canada. Ergo, I never expect a visible minority like Sikhs in Canada to be kept in mass detention centres like they did to Japanese in world war 2. USA, is always one or two steps away from declaring minorities and immigrants a national security risk and there is a major appetite for violence and systematic oppression of minorities in USA -- both in public and in government.
These only apply to Indians/Chinese/Eastern people though. But that's a lot of people. One point you're probably missing is while Canada will offer much more comfort to Indians/Easterns in daily and possibly professional life, social life won't be all too different than what it would be in the US. In both countries, social integration will always be crippled in right-leaning states/provinces with the only difference being in Canada people will be more subtle about their approach to you as an Indian/Eastern. So in both countries eastern people are limited to liberal/left-leaning states/provinces for maximized social integration and acceptance.
That would certainly help me, and I won't complain if that happens. But I have a fundamental problem with how the CRS is set up. 521 for speaking sub par french? Gimme a break. Utterly meaningless. Meanwhile Bachelors with no experience are getting preference over Masters and PhDs with 3+ years of exp and significantly better spoken english skills?
My view isn't anti EU lmao. I just said I prefer Canada because everyone I know is in the US. If that ship sails, I have no issues looking at EU. My end goal is probably in EU, but it just doesn't make sense for me now. To anyone who would rather go to EU, absolutely do that if that's the right decision.
Good god, someone making sense and giving actual examples instead of vague hypotheticals. And look at that, one person living in Canada has an opinion different from someone else. Who would have thought eh @Yqing237 ?
Whatever sails your boat. I don't think I'd waste my time threatening citizens of third world countries on some online forum, especially when I have the time, money and opportunity go anywhere I want in the west. I have a PNP app in Canada, ongoing job applications in EU, money to say fuck it all and go get a master's in the US. In fact, I could even say truly fuck it all stay in my country which is only annoying because of the fluctuating economy but that's only annoying because my standards are European standards and not indian standards. Indian people immigrate to my country so I don't expect you to understand my standards.
Maybe having okayish French skills and super good English skills will be beneficial in Canada career-wise or something so the CRS scoring system was designed in such a way so as to allow candidates to combine both to get a big boost but this seems to be pointless at the moment because of no draws. You can definitely become a politician in the future if you are fluent in both English and French.
