Yes, I mean let's say I get a monthly fee waiver, but I am not even in Canada to use the bank account that often. I feel that I sort of don't take the promotion maximally..

To be able to utilize all the fee waivers and limited time promotion maximally for one year when I hard land here? Is this a silly reason compared to building a credit history?

Thanks, so for the bank account, would it be better to get it during soft landing so that credit history kicks in early, or during the hard landing so that I can take advantage of the waived fees and other new immigrants offer?

What are some of the things that I need to do for softlanding? 1. SIN 2. PR Card Is that all? Also, I have some questions: 1. Should we open a bank account during softlanding or when we come back? I heard some banks have promotions for newcomers.. which banks are recommended? 2. Should we...

Well, as a new COPR holder, I guess reducing immigration and temporary workers is beneficial for me? :p

Most probably they will reduce the general draw quota for CEC draws.. But I guess those who get picked on general draws are mostly CEC anyways.. It's unlikely for outland applicants to get 500+ CRS..

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-targets-decrease-temporary-residents-population-1.7151107 Now they even limit temporary residents.. how fast the time flies..

This is a really good point. I don't know how they measure "Affordable", but I just take a quick look at the US, Germany and Australia and all falters on "Affordable" in which they all have less than 10 points..

Yeah, some people on reddit say that the ranking is not academic and some countries pay to be in the ranking which is I guess a valid point. So, I am wondering how to solve this perception vs reality about living in Canada objectively or academically? Some said UN happiness index...

Are there any reasons why a lof Canadians and immigrants on Reddit, the internet feel very anti-Canada when Canada is the second-best country in the world by USnews (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/slideshows/the-25-best-countries-in-the-world?onepage) and the best country to be an...

I guess they have started to take into account my suggestions.. it's quite wild how things change in the span of 3 months..

I guess immigration sentiment in Canada (and all around the world) is changing fast. Every time I scroll Reddit, the Canadian subs always have some news piece about mass immigration. It's interesting that Canada might not have easy PR anymore. Lucky I got mine already.. it's time to MAKE CANADA...

Hello, if I want to do a soft landing, how many days should I budget my time in Canada before returning to my home country? It seems that the processing time for a new PR Card is 67 days. Does that mean I need to spend at least 2 months in Canada?

How can I know if this real or sarcasm?

Thanks guys. It is a good way to think in terms of OG Canadians who are also emigrating somewhere..

What field are you in? How difficult is it to find a job in Canada?

Hello guys, What are your views of people using Canada PR/ Citizenship as a way to get into or (H1B) backup for the US or another country? Is it ethical or unethical? On one hand, Canada PR and citizenship means that we make a promise to live and build a life in Canada permanently. On the other...

I start to wonder why is this called "lambda"? It sounds like a covid variant. Maybe we have alpha, beta, delta, and omicron as well?

but you can also move to the US with an E3 visa from Australia, right?
