Yep, since 2021. Real Estate was also within reach in 2019. If you came in 2016, could probably have 2 properties by now if you made 100K in GTA. But pictures changed ALOT since then

Yes, rent is the biggest issue and even grocery prices have risen to insane levels. Looks like it will take a long time for things to get better, time to abandon this sinking ship.
My boys don't care whether I save more money for retirement or not right? Their needs get met anyway, demands keep increasing daily. They won't move out of Canada, as they lose their friends again. I can only convince them to move if IRCC chooses to screw my PR application and like Trump try to send me to the Sh*tH*le country I came from.
Well IT in the Philippines was very backward in the 99. Hence I moved to the UK in 2001, and later to the USA in 2006. I got the boot during the 2008 GFC, returned back home worked bits and pieces but didn't find suitable work, I went to work in Penang, Malaysia, and the kids were born there. Sadly Malaysia doesn't allow foreigners to naturalize, nor do the kids attain citizenship by birth. In order to settle down I moved to Australia, and my kids became full Aussies, I made some wrong decisions that prevented me from getting an Aussie PR hence the Canadian sojourn. I have no plans to go back home nor do I believe kids can adopt living there nor do I feel gung-ho about working in the Philippines, I can go to Penang.
Shouldn't be a problem opting for a lottery is like creating an EE profile. Only after one gets picked in the lottery do you really submit a real application. Also it is a long process that takes 3 years or so. Good luckCan someone with a PR apply for USA green card lottery ? Would this affect negatively their status as PR or for citizenship after ?
You can apply. I guess when you get a GC, you can only choose to keep one if you want to live permanently in one of the two countries.Can someone with a PR apply for USA green card lottery ? Would this affect negatively their status as PR or for citizenship after ?
Hi guys need some help
Can someone share in regards to the Vfs BIOMETRIC, they sent a consent form
Signed copy of the consent form, one form per applicant. Link to download the Consent form is below:
Do we need to printout the consent form and fill it with a pen, then scan or do we do type it on system itself?

I just read some of your posts and I must say that you're the only Filipino I've seen who isn't a complete racist. When I used to live in the UK, the Filipinos there hated Indians, Arabs and black people so much. I witnessed the same thing when I was doing an internship in Zurich. What's funny is that they are often discriminated against themselves. For example- they got wrecked during covid with racism, and in Dubai they are treated like Filth, like most migrant workers there. But somehow when they get to a Western country they become so entitled and start discriminating against others. But I must say hands down that Filipinos are the most openly racist people I've ever seen. Whites don't even hold a candle against them. Wuuhh! Had to take this off my chest.
Well posts don't make a man, I can claim to be a saint in this forum and be a porn star in real life lol.
I agree with you. yes, some of the poor behavior's of treating people poorly based on the skin is very much ingrained in the a lot of Asian cultures including mine. A lot of us treat darker skinned folks in our own culture worse than a fair skinned folks. I have done this myself in my younger days dating women, always preferred the fairer maidens. Sometimes still do I guess, it is involuntary man sorry sometimes tastes don't change. But I think such behavior is equally prominent with the sub-continental cultures. I know this because folks from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and and Bangladesh have been friends with me right from my youth days in the UK, where we were grouped together, shared accommodations and had a great time scrounging in lowly IT jobs, those days we used to get abused by the entitled whites who felt we were stealing their jobs by taking lower pays.
Today loads of whites some even older than me work for me, it is a much changed different world, I'm thankful for all those who did hold a handle and let us all move up in our Careers. This upward move applies to a lot of Indians also. I love East-Coast and west coast Americans, I have never felt discriminated there not even one day even 17-18 years back, Texas and a few inner red-districts are still bad.
Each one of us is entitled to our opinion I don't disagree with most of the stuff you say.

I agree with some of what you just said. It's good that you got out of that mindset.
Yes, it's true that Arabs hate each other too. But I think the only unique thing about Filipinos is that they actively try to let you know that they're hating on you. Like one of the Filipino girls in my apartment back in the UK a few years back would smile at every white person and as soon as she saw any Arab, or a South Asian, she would make the most disgusting face ever. It was so flagrant. And for no reason at all! I have many other stories of them saying horrendous things about black people too ,and how Sri Lankans and Indians always eat smelly food, which is hilarious since Filipino food literally smells like you know what.
Cherry on top is that despite all their hatred for Arabs, so many of them end up opening foot massage parlors in Abu Dhabi lmao. I can never understand how some humans who are often discriminated against then turn around and harbor so much hatred for others in such a nasty and visceral fashion.
Bruh that's pretty racist. You even started with the "You're not that *bad adjective* as a *race*" trick.
Nah, I am just comparing. White people get a lot of slack for racism, some of it is justified. But in the midst of all the outrage people forget how racist some other Asians are. Sorry but not sorry bruv.
