Can you all just forget about draws and enjoy the Xmas holidays with your families and loved ones ... see you all in 2020. Cheers !!!
Wow , 499 is really high . I wish I had the luxury of options .. unfortunately , I have to go tru the hardest path ( learning French ) to improve my 462 crsI am now in pool at CRS470 with CLB 10,10,10,7(speaking).
I screwed up speaking since I was too nervous talking to a computer(CELPIP).
I thought 470 should be sufficient but obviously thats not the case.
I will retake the test again, hopefully I can max it to CRS 499.
Oh come on. Let’s call a spade a spade. Other than folks from developing countries or those in troubled areas of Europe, no one wants to immigrate to Canada. The best parts of Canada are cold and wet for half the year.Ok I read your 2 posts and just to clarify some things to you I'll explain quickly how this works....
I'm in NZ at the moment, have friends in AU and getting the PR here is very VERY difficult, Canada is way more easy and have less restrictions in general terms. Then, everybody has specific reasons why some things are better here or there and so... it's more a personal choice. Because of your post I can tell you may have not travel much (which is perfectly OK) but once you go to Canada you'll see people from around the world, not just third world countries... people from the UK, US, Europe, etc etc are also in Camada and AU and NZ because everybody wants something different in life, not just "escape" from a poor nation. I've met a lot of people from the UK here and they came and did all the PR process just because they like the "beach, relaxing life" NZ offers for instance. You might judge the decisions others take based on your own experience but trust me, people migrate for simple reasons as well (sometimes too simple to understand to be honest).
So, to conclude, YES, people from 1st world nations also want to go to Canada and they have really good profiles we need to compete with. Also, Canada has maybe the easiest immigration path all over the world and it makes it very attractive to a lot of people.
Cheers
Nope , it will not be a sad Xmas ..try and make yourself happy with other tins . Disconnect from this tension for now ..No draw today?Srsly!!!!!!!!!!! What a sad Christmas!!
I've been to Canada for about 6 months now and I have met people from places such as Spain, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, UK and other non-troubled countries.Oh come on. Let’s call a spade a spade.

I cannot stress how much I disagree with the first para of this post.Oh come on. Let’s call a spade a spade. Other than folks from developing countries or those in troubled areas of Europe, no one wants to immigrate to Canada. The best parts of Canada are cold and wet for half the year.
Now don’t get me wrong - it’s a beautiful and welcoming country for those that wish to immigrate, just that it doesn’t offer anything special if you are already in a developed western country. Great place to take a vacation but not live.
On that note I would like to add another point - those in here that think their lives will automatically become better by just moving to Canada, please have a rethink. Focus on your skills and career. Unless you find a decent paying job in Canada (minimum of 100K per year), you will struggle to find decent accommodation in any good city / neighborhood nor afford spending money for fun. Yes it can sound nice to say I live in Canada to your neighbors but in reality your life could suck more than it did in your home country where you at least had the comfort of a home cooked meal. Remember the grass isn’t always greener.
You sound very bitter and negative, I sure hope you don't live in Canada with that kind of whiny attitude because it would truly make no sense.Oh come on. Let’s call a spade a spade.

Very few adults are naive enough to believe that everything will fall into their hands as soon as they step foot on Canadian soil. Also, in which country can you have a good life without a decent paying job, please name one? You certainly don't need 100k per year unless your life goals include spending money on random expensive crap. Living in Vancouver and Toronto is expensive for sure, but you don't have to live in those two cities, but even if you do you can find decent accommodation options. Again, it seems your criteria revolves around money and climate, in which case you should consider California, Florida or Australia. Cheerio!On that note I would like to add another point - those in here that think their lives will automatically become better by just moving to Canada, please have a rethink.

Very true, I agree with you. Just to add my 2 cents, $95k base plus bonus etc bringing total package to $100k is too easy in Toronto for software developers. This is from my personal experience as well as my interactions with other newcomers with similar background as meYou sound very bitter and negative, I sure hope you don't live in Canada with that kind of whiny attitude because it would truly make no sense.
I have several friends and colleagues who are from the US, the UK, Ireland, Japan etc. who left their families and (in the case of the US) better paying jobs to live in Canada where they feel more welcome and safe, or because they love the nature, the diversity... The Americans have already become dual Canadian citizens. Of course, there are also those who came and left. Canada, much like any other country, is not perfect. If you value climate so much, consider Victoria or another country altogether.
