It doesn't matter what's your level of English or French, what colour are you, what school or university you attended, what kind of clothes are you wearing, whether you know something about Canadian history, culture, tradition or have "the infamous Canadian experience".. you can just come here, be yourself and you will see people appreciate your attitude, efforts, outlook on life, will to improve, to learn and passion for the things you do or want to do. Like in any other country in the world, it seems Canadians too like genuinly good people with simple goals. They aren't looking for geniuses, philosophers, you don't have to pretend you are better or smarter than everyone else. Everybody will have a chance to show their skills, you are respected for who you are. That's Canada, from experience!! I wasn't on the forum for a while, we came here about a month ago and I can really say it's beyond our expectations. Anybody worrying about jobs - just DON'T! There are plenty of them, there are enormous chances you will do the type of job you want. If you have enough courage to apply, wait for an ITA (which is excruciating), go through the whole process (which is even more excruciating), leave home and move to a country you've never even been to with just high hopes - Congratulations! You are on your way to success. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, I think they will just repeat the scenario from last year and the time for giving out bunch of ITAs is very close!
ps. Those who say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. LOL! As for the points, they have to come down lower than in 2017, it's pure logic.
