First of all make sure your friend never do this again give him hopes.. I know if he went up to this much he must have gone through some really bad times. Canadian dream well let him know what ever is written here by other members and what i am going to write is completely true. Canada is going through a Great Recession and canadian dollar is standing no where. Finding a good job is like winning a lottery, i have freinds having masters degree and wirking ina security company for lowest wage. In next few months canadian economy will be in worse than ever as oil industry is completely screwed. More than 10000 people only in alberta were layed off and are more stressed than you. Dont look at few hundread people who have better jobs look at rest of the population struggling to servive. I am here for last 5 years and still far away from my goals as i am unable to overcome expenses and still far away from dream life. You will not consider my comments untill you would go through all this. Good luck life is not all about canada
Suicide attempt by my friend out of frustration

I second this -- things are touch and go here right now, and there are several factors that could make the economy a lot worse over the next year. Unlike in the past, Canada no longer has the safety valve of employment in Alberta, where many people with no particular skills could go and find decent or well-paying jobs.Malik87 said:
My wife and I found the application process frustrating and stressful too -- and it was nothing compared to our first year here. That was when the economic situation was better.
All of us are in same boat. There is so many things in life do than this.

I know a lot of people want their Canadian dreams to come through for them to achieve their goal, but please control yourself, tried suicide out of frustration is not the best, l know pressure comes in when you are expecting and l pray that our expectation shall be granted...the pressure start immediately you file in your application and it moves from one step to another until you get your PPR but l must say that pressure is not something you can stop in human life but you can control it because when you keep moving to and fro in life, one step to another raises hope to achieve a goal, expectation comes in but your life is more important above all your expectation. Therefore no matter the out come of your goal in life, please don't take your life. If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L means "First Attempt In Learning" E.N.D is not the end in fact end means "Efforts Never Dies" if you get NO as an answer, Remember N.O means "Next Opportunity" so, let's be positive in every area of our lives, God bless.

Maybe it is a good idea to tell your friend the truth about Canada. It is not as glamorous as one would think: a lot of Master's, highly educated people turn out to work in Walmart or as a taxi driver. English is extremely important: without native English it is extremely hard to get a job unless you work as a plumber or those kind of jobs I guess (they are paid well too). Lots of Canadian university grads turn out to work as a waiter or waitress or bartender (waitressing can also be paid higher than many white-collar jobs in Canada). If one is not prepared to know these, one would be disappointed after getting a PR.
well tats quite stupidity...
the prob i guess is more abt being obsessed abt going to canada for canadian life, which is assumed to be much better than life in asia or africa.. its best not to obsess abt it.. canada or for that matter any country aint everything in life.. if u work hard you can have good life anywhere in the world.. canada aint gonna give u money for entering the country.. lol..
rather than waiting for 2 weeks for the draw to come out.. try doing constructive things...
for example i have stopped visiting this site a lot bcoz i realized i m just thinking abt this site the whole day.. now a days i just do it 1's a week or so..
2nd i have started a certification.. i passed 1 paper and 1 more to go... even if i dont go to canada or any other country.. tat certification alone helps me secure a nice good crazy paying job.. If i do go to canada.. with help of that certification i can land myself a comfortable job hopefully without much struggle..
so guys.. dont get crazy behind western dream..
just think of it this way.. u ll find beggars and poor ppl even there.. when they were born there.. y arent they rich??

Not sure why you think that. I was born in Canada and have lived here all of my life.Goingnorth said:
I work in business (banking) and one of the things I do in my spare time is mentor / coach new business immigrants to Canada who are trying to find a job and establish their lives here. I can guarantee you the process is very difficult (much more difficult than the process of applying for PR). I've had grown men break down crying in my office because of how difficult they are finding their new lives in Canada.
In your experience, how difficult is it for someone who has been educated and worked in the US and is moving to Canada? I am sure I am not the first H1B worker fed up of the US immigration process and tried to make it in Canada...scylla said:
US education and experience is a good thing. It should make it quite a bit easier for you to find a good job.ht7 said:
buddy then let me remind you one thing canada's job market is not even 10 percent that of US. so you can think how much struggle it will be to find a job. And due to small market people are ready to do $50 /hr job in $20/hr so they have screwed this market a lot.....sraj07 said:ht7,
I am in US on H1B used for 4 yrs, 2 more yrs left , now applying PR Canada.
Better convince your US employer to file your GC and get 1st stage of GC clear in 1 year timeline then you can change your employer and you can stay there till your GC is in process.
