Beware: Fairly long post. Please pardon me if this is like unnecessary information.
I'm sure we are all waiting for our trip to Canada but are we really getting ready to survive in Canada?
What is your objective of moving to Canada? What do you want to achieve by going to Canada? Are you prepared for the rigors of what it takes to excel in Canada? Or will you come back to this forum some years later to say something like "these Canadians are crooks. The FSW/PNP (or whichever program brought you to Canada) is nothing but second slavery"?
I have been trying to read widely on this forum and I confess tonnes of useful information are lying in different threads on this forum alone. How many have you seen? Or are you just concerned about the timelines and the spreadsheet?
What are you doing presently and what do you intend to do to survive when you land in Canada? What value are you adding to yourself now that will make you more marketable in Canada?
I once met a lady and she was complaining bitterly to me about the difficulty in getting a good job in the US. And by good job she meant a job that would befit her as a graduate from a Nigerian University. She had been in the US for about 6 years when I met her. Towards the end of our discussion, I realized she had (only recently) sent her folks back home in Nigeria to help her request for her transcript and she was doing it for the first time after graduation. She had not furthered her studies in the US in the six years she had been there. I had to ask her how she expected to get any “graduate job” if she had never evaluated her certificate to convince employers that it is the equivalent a BS/BA in the US. These are the people that will talk about the evil and slavery inherent in the American Visa lottery.
I am not saying you WILL get a job once you evaluate your credentials or that there is no discrimination in the Canadian System. I'm not there so I do not have any evidence for or against discrimination, employment rate etc. However, I have noticed that most of the folks that shout the most about the unfairness of the system are those that are least informed , least equipped, least prepared for what they are going to meet in the new place.
So what are you doing to equip yourself for the life in Canada?
