i m living in canada from last year, and i like it rather than other part of the world . If anyone really wanna come to canada  apply for pnp programme of any states u wanna come. That takes almost 3 month for the approval . After the approval of the PNP  you are gonna apply for the PR that takes 6 more month to get  PR card. I m living in BC and i already apply for the BCPNP . After 1.5 month i will be getting my PNP certificate and after almost 7-8 month i will be canadian PR. i came to canada through work permit and my company sponser me for fulltime work.This is the only fast track process for the PR in canada. Almost 5 friend got their PR within 1.5 yr they arrive in canada and few friend just got their approval of PNP. i just apply PNP before 1.5 month and waiting for the certificate now.hopefully i will get it soon.I used to pay more money for the health insurence when i was in aus but i m paying $57/monthly which cover my everything here. The social security is bette than other countries,people are so friendly, no need to worry abt work either cash or tax, world top university,and opportunity for everything. what i wanna say is best place to live in world is canada now. one of my friend just move from US to the place i am living. He told me that he was frustrated with US immigration policy and applied canada and got PR within 1 yr. Dont wait guys. The PNP programme is gonna end soon . may be next year.
