Yeah, only if you don't have any pipedreams of settling there. I wish someone had instilled this sense into me 5 years ago.

Another example why Canada lacks vision. One IP provider network breaks down and majority of the country is affected.

I've been holed in at a Tim Hortons since early morning because of this
I never did apply for the I-140 stuff, I planned to head back to India and work as a contractor for my US company there, but Canada is obviously a better option for continuing my employment.
Hey guys, sorry to derail the conversation but I'd appreciate some input on the following.
So I finally bought my tickets to Canada, I'm flying and landing in Toronto mid August! This is due to me having a semester-long exchange at a university in Montreal, QC starting in September, ending the first few days of December. For full context, I'm from an eTA-eligible country.
My timeline is in my signature. However, I've still got 6 months or so to go, according to the current service standard, if and until my PR is approved. I've thought of the following scenarios:
A) my RFV email arrives before mid-August, CoPR is approved, I land in Toronto with no issues.
B) my RFV email arrives after my exchange, once I've exited Canada and can then come back to settle permanently in a non-QC province.
However, there's a third scenario:
C) my RFV email arrives during my exchange, while I'll be residing in Quebec.
What should my approach then be?

I think retirement life in Canada or India (Being an Indian) would be better. If I were you, I would move to US and earn as much as I can, give a quality life for my kids, set up their future (I mean toxic parenting of deciding and designing every step of their future just like every Indian parent would do....lol) and then decide to settle in a Canada or home country. US is not a good country for retirees given very high cost of medical expense and a lonely life. Also being an Indian, I would not want to die alone in America. In spite of shits happening in India today, I would prefer to die in India.
In the same situation!!
Some of my friends got lucky because they had scores in the range of 460’s, that made them eligible for OINP. Whereas, I couldnt make it because of the high scores, and even if I tried to reduce my score,it didnt fall under OINP range. They are in Canada and I am still here, being only eligible for FSW.
Exact scenario at an IRCC office:
IRCC Dude 1: How can I work if the internet is down.
IRCC Dude 2: Dude, we don't work even when the Internet is working. We just chill.
IRCC Dude 1: Then, lets fkin chill.!!!!
Your Orwellian
analysis, should serve as a stark warning. But as Mushy said time and time again, the only benefit we see in going to Canada is obtaining the passport, afterwards you either head down south of the border or look for greener pastures elsewhere.
Now with the 557 crs draw, OINP will naturally increase its upper cutoff, right? It was moronic/lethargic of them to not increase it when no FSW draws were happening.
Canadian passport allows you to enter Germany with the intention of finding work while in there, and makes it easier to get a work permit. There are also other permits that are easier, like Australia/New Zealand, so it is quite beneficial other than visiting. Outside of US that uses country of birth as a metric, it also completely changes how people view you, since people from developing countries deal with more shit when going to a country, because everyone thinks you are wanting to stay.
But that is also due to the large size of the country, while small population. Canada is basically huge clumps on eastern and western sides, and then wasteland in between (sorry for those living in the wasteland). So it isn’t really worth it for most companies to invest in infrastructure for small amount of people spaced out.
I received an email saying there is a new message in my ircc account. But I can't login.
I am scared shitless.
