Pretty much this. US has the same problems that Canada has but they pay the salaries to make for it which makes the problems you mentioned digestable.

When I was in Canada, people were more obsessed with US politics than Canadian politics. There is nothing unique about Canada at all. I have said this again and again. Canada is just US lite.

If I am to become a capitalist slave, I might as do it for the original, then settle for this lite version of it.

On a side note, as I visiting a lot of touristy places, I got the chance to meet a lot of Americans. Americans are a lot of fun to talk to than Canadians. I feel like I would have a better time over there than in Canada. This is where being multicultural goes against Canada in my book. For example, if you walk around in the satellite cities of Toronto, you won't feel like you are in North America at all.

Yeah, it feels like it's trending that way too - becoming America lite. Twitter here is full of American news - whether it's celebrities, sports, roe v Wade, Trump. Even the accents of millennial and younger Canadians sound very American and not much Canadian. I honestly don't feel like I left the USA - except for my paycheque. Not many Indians would choose Canada if they could get a green card.

About the satellite cities - GTA feels like a smaller version of NYC. In terms of demographics and neighbourhoods, it's v actually very similar. You'll find many regions in NYC like this.

So you're telling me that as a black man, I can not play the race card with the brown nurse, I'll have to rethink this moving process....

What are you talking about? This gentleman plays that card really well. So well that he is now the prime minister.

It takes practice though... he started it young

Then he got better

When are you making the move to the promised land? And which province?

Early November, Ontario.

There are several ways to engage people on your social media pages. But people like Kubeir Kamala do it by instilling fear. This story should not surprise anyone as the adults mentioned in the article did not do their research before moving to Canada. How on earth you need someone else's help in filling out job application after having lived in Canada for years.

Ma man Saif tells what's in my mind.

Almost as good as an someone with Master's of English Literature who can't string a proper sentence, which I've seen. That's why this CRS system is messed up. A Master's from Timbuktu /= Master's from UK. Should go from an average of top 5 rankings. If not in top 3000 unis or something, shouldn't be eligible. But that's just me

Australian points system had same mess, what they did different was instead of choosing ECA or equivalency agency, they used organization within Australia that give you overseas education equivalency. For exmple Engineers Australia help engineers and Australia Computer Society for rest of IT people. In order to get equivalency some need you to have 1-3 years of experience and for some 7 each is requirement in order to get your education assessed only. To further filter the quality of applications they only do NOC based rounds of invitation and if you can get 8 each in IELTS, you can get extra 10 points (One year work experince in Australia is only 5 points).

Yes, the Australian immigration! It was a breeze back in 2013-14... I did it. Did not go there, however. There were few things about australian immigration back then : if you were below 32 years old, had a 4 years degrees, 1-2 years experience in IT/CS, you were golden. Masters fetched more points, Phd even more.

Best part : No stinking PR Cards for re-entering australia. Oh Canada! I am looking at you

Does Australia's system penalize you for age like Canada does?

Yeah you're right, I was amazed to know how PR cards work lol. When I was issued PR, it was a pdf, I never had to use it anywhere, while immigration or applying for anything. Passport fetches your visa status automatically.

Yes, 25-30 fetches you highest points, add extra 10 if you're single

None.

Yay blunt honesty is back!

Thanks for your reply. Let me put it this way… When can I expect to receive an ITA?

Given the way things are, you're unlikely to. It's not a even a question of 'when'. Draw sizes will not increase by much, definitely not enough to offset the 500+ scores being added. Next year at some point NOC specific draws will begin. Nobody (not even the almighty Kubeir) knows what that means for general draws, what the allocations are etc. If you're in an in-demand NOC, your chances are better. But if you were, you'd probably have gotten a PNP nomination by now (unless you just recently entered the pool).

Overall, 481 is no longer a good score. It is well below the average of new profiles from what we've been seeing, and it would be foolish to even consider that it could get easier in the coming months/years. Increase your score if you can, pretend to value Canadian education and get a useless degree if you can't, or consider some other country to escape whatever hellscape you live in right now.
