No real benefits except for politicians to get into voters good books.
So what is the point of announcing the important of STEM and all those news? Is that so ridiculous and giving fake hope?
I did, I am waiting for STEM draw, an international student and work for big company but there is no hope for me. Max out my score but cannot beat those fake LMIA and PNP. I am aware that PR is not compulsury and I am trying my best but it is unfair to see people outland without job coming and struggle while we spend good amount on education, have job and contribute to the society and left behind.
The funny thing is the government is convinced international students are "lucrative" because they bring money in to the Canadian economy. What they don't realize is that money is temporary. Most students from India study on a loan from an Indian bank. When they finish the studies they take a Canadian job (which drives down wages for Canadians) and then instead of spending their earnings inside the Canadian economy, they return the money back to India to pay back the Indian bank with interest. So the money leaves Canada and back to India in a few years. If you think about it, it is actually a net negative for Canada.
I totally understand your point. It would be the same with FSW applicants and PNP also right?
My point is maybe they should have new requirement for job offer not just experience, prioritize people with curent job and high salary like PNP requirment and even though money can flow back to their countries, tax money is collected at least.
What is your score? Like How can you study in Canada and even have a job and not get invited immediately? Not calling you out or anything just curious.
Not really because one of the major selling points by the government for increasing the number of international students is the huge amounts of money they supposedly bring into the Canadian economy. Even now the Indian media is shouting that Canada depends so much on Indian students to bring in money.
I have 468 which college degree and no previous experience in my country. Max can get for graduate with 1 year experience is 474 tho.
My understanding is STEM asks (at least in IT) were met with more temporary immigrant like WPs for H1B visa holders, Also Sean Fraser was in the process of even giving WP for digital natives that now the current croissant clown had shelved. Most of the current delays or backlogs in PR approvals seems to be IT workers.
That I dont really care because that fair trade they get money and we get knowledge. It is not because i pay high tuition fee then I deserve PR. My point is why as Canadian degree, get a good job pay high tax, contribute to economy and still not as prioritize as people come from out of country without job. Many immigrants came here driving Uber and struggle so why they dont take people from inside who already have jobs and contribute to the economy?
The only program I found make sense to me is the OINP foreign worker where they rate you on education, experience and your annual salary. I think that one country want, high quality worker, having good job to contribute to the economy not someone coming and claim benefit.
Dude you should really focus on improving your english or your french.
Totally agree. If someone has taken the effort to come and study in Canada, got the education and is working in Canada, they should get a PR there should be no question about that.
