Free land, eh? Well, thats such a diplomatic word. Ok, Canada is one of the biggest countries in the world and it does need lot of people to fill in. Having said majority of the land is not liveable ...unless you camp out and live like Eskimos. Yes, ultimately its the immigrants who make a choice to come to Canada. No doubt about that..but I am saying is those people are wrongfully lured with fake promises. The point system in for applicants is very fishy..On one hand they give preference to immigrants who could possibly join their mainstream work force, which the immigrants have been doing in their native land..on the flip side..they expect immigrants to do odd jobs..and then whats the lame excuse? Oh...it happens to everyone...everywhere in the world...well..in that case..why shouldn't you be different?? Ya, almost 250 k immigrants are lured to this country everywhere..and mostly they reside in Toronto, Vanvouver or MTL..I mean thats a HUGE number...unlike US where there are tons of major cities...the immigrants will automatically feel the heat competing against those people..esp with so much less openings...Also, the poverty rate in Toronto is extremly disheartening..and monthly income for immigrant dominated neighbourhoods in Toronto dont exceed $1000..dollars...Last yeat Toronto star ran an entire page on this...crazy stuff... I just feel sad that Canadian government doesn't care much about immigrants after they land here..for example..if they have so many immigrants coming to few major cities then why cant htey outsource them to different provinces..that outsourcing could be done by having different opps especially desgined for the immigrants..the mindset of the new immigrants is that they are nt ready to leave major cities becuase if they are struggling to find here then they dont expect much from less populated suburbs.. Canada spends so much money on HRDC eh..hmmm how cool is that? well they need to give jobs to those canadians..right...lol..so they gotta open up ..seriously,,I hae been there dude..and that was also for regular job..its no use...atleast in my case...and if I may ask..if the grass was so much greener on this side how come immigrants still prefer to be in US?????...the canadian immigrantion trend is south asian/chinese/eastern european now..and how come good chunk of immigrants are moving to US after spending some time..I mean ..there must be something, right?
