Prem dai, the reason why you're sagun's 85% and for me, only 30% correct is because of the ignorant comments you made about canada. what makes you say that 'terrorists' and 'murderers' enter canada as a refugee? And Canada is not the only first world country that employs skilled labourers in the food industries and the 'charipi bihag', US does the same too, doesn't it? besides, janitors makes better money as compared to minimum wage most nepalis working in the fast food industry in the US. next time, get your facts straight ( not from a network televison news) before you open that fat mouth of yours. The reason why canadian immigration is attractive to people who qualify is because of the effectiveness of the system, you get Permanat Residence in a year, and after three years of living in Canada (without counting the days spent outside of canada), you will be eligible to apply for a canadian citizenship and then after 8 or 9 months, you can apply for a canadian passport, which is almost a free ticket to travel around the world, including US, australia, england. As for, (maybe where mr prem lives) US, your green card appliaction is slacked around from your lawyer to the each and every department of the US government, after 911, it will take you forever ( by forever i mean as 'they happily lived FOREVER' kind of forever) to get your work visa, getting the 'green card' is a very distant thought. Numerous nepalis come from the US for this and only purpose only. I know many nepalese people who have a canadian citizenship/ passport and are working for companies in the US and after that you don't have to log onto to sajha (or your lawyer) and worry about your visa status. Canadian economy is smaller .. tiney.. puney .. compared to it's biggest trading patner, the Great United States. That means less jobs being chased by large number of people. the main reason why skilled immigrants esp from the developing nation cannot find a job according to their qualification is because of the 'standardization' process maintained by the government, which is also the case in US. however if you're willing to back to school, update your skills and/or qualification, it's cheaper in canada to go university, 1 of the top 5 university would prolly come down to 2500 to 3000 CAN a semester for undergrad... so pretty much, you can become a permanant resident of canada, forget about your degree from nepal, update (get new) degree from an accredited university around the world for dirt cheap tuition fees, get your canadian passport and then .. go work in us or england.. or wherever you heart lies. The point is, it's easier to get a work visa under a canadian passport than on a nepali (hariyo) passport..... BUT did i tell you .. that it's COLD in canada?
