I would strongly advise anyone from going to canada at this time - except of course the maoists are behind you with an axe or gun...even then I would think twice. I am saying this with the knowledge and experience I have shared closely with people whose dreams were shattered. Of course, if you are looking for jobs in the supermarket and cab driving, I don't have much to say. The country is basically coming out of a decade long depression triggred by the incompetent rule of the then prime minister with a french name. His gov't totally F***ed up the whole system and the economy of the country and of course the immigration system sucks!!! Really sucks!!
