Senior Prem, Yes, there was a little error on the information i gave out. You being a permanant resident cannot (i believe) live outside canada for a certain number of months in 2 or 3 years. But, my information was catering to nepali friends who wanted to become a permanant resident, get their citizenship, and get on with their life somewhere else which.. i think is the main reason for most nepalese permanant residents who have sucky jobs in canada. Secondly, my friend who recently graduated with from a masters program from a univeristy in US recieved her work permit in a few months (4-5 months), and recieving their permanant residency in another several months. Like someone pointed out, it differs in different cases. Thirdly, i did not start the issue between Canada and America. You yourself quoted 'That's Canada... BLAME CANADA as in SOUTH PARK' , and i am very sure you know how 'blame canada' in the movie 'South Park: longer bigger uncut' arises and how it leads to the Canadian american conflict. and lastly, i don't know about that particular documentary.however on june 2002, canadian immigration introduced 'Immigration And Refugee Policy' changing its older policy from 1978 making it harder for terrorists to enter and claim refugee, so i don't know if that documentary was pre 2002 or post 2002. and So I wouldn't be sure say ,'Even Murderers/terrorists ARE coming to Canada through this .... (so on)Almost all the countries harboured terrorists pre sept 11, sept 11 send the governments from all the first world countries to check and tighten their immigration policy....
