Because there are only so many slots for immigrants, so Canada should use them wisely. I've seen many of the foreign students and workers here in Canada, and I assure you there are better candidates to be had. The CRS system is trying to select for them.
well thats not accurate before jan 2015 CEC was a sure way to get PR and thats what attracted me. But they changed it without telling us in advance that we wont get 600 points for the job we currently have without getting LMIA.
It was a way to potentially get PR. I came to Canada before January 1. My study permit states, and I quote, "MUST LEAVE CANADA BY 30 SEP 2016".
It was never automatic, it was never promised, and there are plenty of students who for various reasons were ineligible to receive permanent residency. You could apply for permanent residency, and they gave some consideration to the fact you were a student. Now, they give that consideration in the form of an open work permit (which foreign immigrants can't get), which lets you get Canadian work experience (which gets you points a foreign immigrant can't get), and let you qualify for CEC (which saves you from POF and needing to 67 points on the FSW scale), again which foreign immigrants can't get.
It's not their fault if people took advantage of a system in the past, and can no longer do so. They didn't tell students "be a student, and you can have permanent residency". What they told students was "you must leave when you conclude your studies". Now the students complain when they are being asked to do the very thing they promised to do.
also to point out there is no such thing as temporary immigrant.
It depends on the specific definition used; Webster's, for example, includes the definition "to enter and usually become established", which could arguably include temporary residence. Nonetheless, I'll cede the point on that one.
I am guessing ur not from a third world country u havent seen how colleges pay money to agents so they send students to the colleges in canada. its all a big ponzi scheme.
No, I'm not from a third world country. If (as you say) it's a big Ponzi scheme, then why should the government of Canada endorse and encourage it? Shouldn't they do everything in their power to shut it down and fight it?
well again I feel that u havent lived in a third world country hence no idea what ur talking about. no offence to anyone but in countries like india and pakistan fake experience is easy . I have personally seen people getting fake experience from relatives etc.
I know exactly how easy it is to fake experience. My comments were more to the services that provide verification. If you use a service, there is a possibility that someone else using the service will get in trouble and you will to. That wouldn't apply to people using relatives.
If things are as bad as you say for third world countries, with the work experience being meaningless, and the students being part of Ponzi schemes, then perhaps Canada shouldn't accept work experience or studies from third world nations, particularly given some of the cheating that goes on in some of the foreign schools. If that were the case, they would need to come to Canada and get Canadian education (at an accredited school), then go get Canadian work experience (perhaps with a PGWP). That would be a bit more difficult to fake, wouldn't it?
