please explain what did u work on to meet the bar?
I started working on immigrating to Canada roughly 10 years ago. The bar has been changed on numerous occasions, but like many immigrants I had to get things in order in my home country before I could come.
I started building wealth, assets. I worked on my education, my language, my connections, studying the law. I got married to a spouse who also wanted to immigrate, and we worked to get the points. She had not finished her education, so I convinced the school to readmit her, and I supported her for years, flying thousands of miles every couple weeks so that I could keep my job and be there to help her.
so now ur saying we chose wrong occupation and u selected the right one? also r u saying our history is not right we r criminals?
That's not what I'm saying at all. My NOC filled up last year (2174) - one could argue that I didn't choose right. When that happened, I started working on retraining for other NOCs, and started putting together what was needed to get a LMIA. If my NOC were something different, I might have to go to northern Alberta to find a LMIA-capable employer, but if that were so I would go.
As for the criminal comment, I'm not saying anyone is criminals. What I am saying is that there are correlations between criminality and other factors, such as lack of education. People who are desperate are more likely to end up criminals, so if one wants to avoid criminality, consideration should be given to ensuring that the immigrants that come do not end up desperate. This can be done on both the selection side (pick people who can take care of themselves), as well as on the arrival side (have programs to help people avoid being desperate).
Does that make sense?
there can be various indicators but i dont see anyone in express entry other than language proficiency.
I don't need a diploma or degree for work. For me, attending school (both in Canada and in my former country) was purely about immigration. Canada wanted people with degrees, so I did what it took to be one of those people. Canada wants people with French skills, so I work to be one of those people. Canada changed the rules in 2015 and said "we want people who won't take Canadian jobs", so I did what it took to be one of those people.
there is nothing one can do if their profession is not something that canada wants at this point in time.. they r out of luck. no hard work there
The LMIA system gives 600 points to anyone in a NOC 0, A, or B who can find an employer that is unable to hire a Canadian and meets the requirements in terms of company size and wage. There is also a skilled trades option.
There are those who have jobs that don't qualify, and for them, there is still hard work to be had. That hard work needs to be to
learn a new profession if they want to immigrate. It's not the job of Canada to be good for the immigrant, it's the job of the immigrant to be good for Canada. For them, it takes even
more hard work to come to Canada.
thats exactly what it is mad system built by someone who doesnt know how third world countries work. there will be consultancies poping in third world countries to do just that fake everything.
The conservatives have been changing rules to make things harder to fake, with logging of trips to the US, a new system that requires travel authorization, and requiring four years of physical presence for Citizenship. They have also added a system that includes some checks on background and work history (instead of the old system of "graduate, get PR". It wouldn't surprise me if more things to deter fraud happen should they win the election.
yes ur lucky . I dont know what ur situation is but do point out what is wrong with us? since u think we dont measure up to the system
I wish tone would come out better on the internet. I care greatly about Canada, and want it to be the best. I want the people who come here to be the best, and want to help people be the best. When I talk about flaws in people, myself included, it's because I want to live in a world where people work to be the best they can be.
We're all lucky in some ways and unlucky in others. Each of us has access to the internet, the biggest collection of knowledge and education available for free (or rather cheaply) in all of human history. Each of us has more ability to learn, to discover, to grow, and to build than our predecessors. We have access to a worldwide market where it's possible to sell our services to people all over the planet. I wrote and sold software online at age 12 because on the internet, nobody has to judge you by age, or race, by caste, or by sex. You truly have the ability to define who you are and make your own destiny.
dont know may be we dont know ur background. r u a cook as I have seen a cook get ITA and a nurse struggling for 400 points. so u saying cooks r needed more than nurses in canada and will succeed more because the system say so?
In some ways, yes. There are cooks who are needed sometimes, and nurses who aren't, sometimes. The system is rational, but it's not applied perfectly. As you say, people cheat - did the cook perhaps have fake experience while the nurse was honest?
