Its been an extremely time consuming experience for me. Despite having max points for education (2 year diploma plus 4 year degree), 1.5 year experience at an NOC B job and max points for ielts I am still stuck at 464 points. I applied for PNP in Ontario last year in august and i haven't even heard about the employer pre screening. I could look into lmia option but honestly I just don't think i should exhaust more resources for PR after the fact that i have lived in this country for 8 years. I have had to miss out on a real estate opportunity and a couple of business opportunities because of this non sense. I really should've listened to my parents and went to Australia 8 years ago instead of coming here. Hopefully canada gets their shit together esp for the international students.
