bjlangrial, I am sure most immigrants to Canada do not fare better than you or your friend who already left. One day there should be a big class action lawsuit against the Canadian government but I am not sure I will be around to help or get the compensation I deserve.

I am not quite sure what you mean by changing jobs. If you applied as an IT professional and want to now be considered an architect that will be one hell of a change that will likely result in an unpleasant outcome. If you are just getting a new job while waiting for your application to get...

If you are comfortable where you are, just do not do it! You can try option 2 of your plan, but this will give you just 3 more years to collect funds. Then you may see yourself spending your savings in a few months in Canada, going back to square one and being unemployed. Your kids may not be...

Well said! I am one of you guys. Canada profits from the misfortune of people in other countries. It is always looking for affluent immigrants who are willing to bring over their whole fortune (and often blow it) or good people who once in Canada are forced to accept low end jobs and settle...

Once you are in Canada, there should be plenty of opportunities for you. I do not think they will start bringing dishwasher from abroad as permanent residents, however.

You can take a couple of minutes to fill out this survey sheet and submit it if you have lived in Canada for over 4 years. Thank you! http://www.dsc-gc.com/survey.php

You probably have too few posts on the forum yet.

At the time I did not know what I know now.

No immigration consultant is worse than the Canadian government itself. A consultant may get some of your money, but the government will get both your money and you.

I posted this already, but not sure if anyone read it. It is relevant: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/03/28/f-vp-stewart-immigration.html

Not sure how you can apply for a work permit without having a job offer first. To get a job offer as an IT professional from overseas, in my view, your chances are slim. Someone here recently mentioned that IT was not on the skills-in-demand list as well.

One interesting article from CBC news: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/03/28/f-vp-stewart-immigration.html It seems like the immigration department may now be looking towards Europe. Not sure under which program the 40,000 Irish were admitted into Canada.

I'd say around 2,500 - 3,000/month.

Get yourself TurboTax and follow the questions.

Loans in Canada are based on your credit rating. No credit, no loan. As to the UAE, this is something you should know. As long as you can get the money out of UAE, you can spend it on anything in Canada.

If you were out of the country, I am not sure why you filed any tax returns at all. You file only if you are a resident (present in Canada) at year end. If you have not claimed and been paid any benefits for the years in question, your worldwide income will be irrelevant. For the year of...

:D Only the immigration lawyers in Canada can do that. How can you sue the Canadian Government from India? The outcome is pretty clear and predictable. For each one of you disappointed immigrants-to-be, there will be 10 Canadians or Canadian permanent residents, who would complain that...

Who are you Kanamen? An immigrant or an immigration lawyer profiting from immigrants?

Why do you think the applications are being returned to the applicants? They are returned because: 1. CIC cannot process them in a timely manner 2. CIC is facing budget cuts over the next 3 years 3. CIC will be giving preference to potential immigrants from Europe (with the bad economic...

You must be joking. Recently I came across an article stating that Canada is fortunate with the dismal economic conditions in Europe where many YOUNG people having "EXACTLY THE QUALIFICATION CANADA NEEDS" are considering moving to Canada. In other words, they may now take more Europeans than...
