At the end it’s skilled immigration not diversity immigration. The immigrant which will apparently integrate with the society and contribute, no matter what race or nationality.
But yes, the country needs and will to do what benefits it the most thru immigration regardless of how inconvenient and difficult, biased or unbiased it is for the aspirant.

I agree.
skilled independent visa seems impossible to get in australia, unless you are from essential sectors, like healthcare.
people over here are already complaining about the congestion on the road, property prices and living costs, due to the fast growing population.
the message from the government is you are welcome to spend the money here, but if you want to stay permanently, sorry this wont happen.

Classic right wing. "rash of refugees at the border" narrative these people all have the same lizard brain
but yeah immigration getting connected to housing prices is definitely bad for immigration
Yes bad for immigration, but the market depends on the business deals which the majority of the community is involving. The majority is immigrants when compared to Canadian citizens.
It seems the Canadian citizens ain't competitive enough.
The immigrant population is outweighing the citizens in many aspects. The skilled immigrants who receive the PR, settles in Canada by buying a house or a property within an year or two, if that's the citizens' issue then the citizens should rethink about their abilities. The International students and their inflated tuition fees are covering for the domestic students education, and all the government all day do is cry over the hosing prices skyrocketing cause the hardworking and money saving immigrants are buying houses for their families and making their future generations safe.
Survival of the fittest.
Also considering the PR holders background of life, they maybe from a country where life and settlement is via owning a house / property for his/her family where as Canadians don't.
This is my understanding.
I am aware of the UK market alone, specifically Central London, As a matter of fact it's way more expensive than Canada and Singapore. Neither the government nor the citizens are crying over this. They don't complain it's because of the immigration, This is why the UK work permit requires anyone to have the minimum yearly salary of £25600 considering the skilled worker is single and on a skilled mid level job. Even though they stated their requirement of minimum annual wages, the work permit won't be issued unless it is skilled enough so the employer will be able to pay him / her £38000+
If I'm a UK PR holder, it'd take 9-10 years for me to buy a property on my own considering that my annual salary is £35000 and I live single till I am 35. Whereas if this is in Canada it'd be just 3-5 years max. It depends on the persons competence. I believe so

Reprehensible, callous, and ethically odious': Canada receiving COVAX supply while other countries fall way behind

'Reprehensible, callous, and ethically odious': Canada receiving COVAX supply while other countries fall way behind
An international humanitarian group is calling on the Canadian government to commit to sharing its COVID-19 vaccine supply, at a time when other low- and middle-income countries are falling behind on inoculation.
The medical non-profit group Doctors Without Borders is asking Ottawa to stop accepting vaccine supply from COVAX, the global pool procurement mechanism for COVID-19 vaccines. It recently announced that it’s short at least 140 million doses, in part because of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in India. The World Health Organization, UNICEF and other international agencies have called on G7 countries to donate excess vaccine supplies. While countries like the United States and France have announced plans to donate millions of doses, Canada has yet to make such an announcement. In the meantime, it's continuing to receive COVID-19 doses from COVAX, with 600,000 doses of AstraZeneca that arrived last week, and more expected by the end of June.
Dr. Jason Nickerson, humanitarian affairs advisor with Doctors Without Borders, tells Yahoo Canada News that the vast majority of COVID-19 doses have been administered in high- and medium-income countries, and less than 1 per cent in low income countries.
“Effectively the availability of COVID-19 doses have been monopolized by rich countries,” he says. “The COVAX facility is just struggling to get the access it needs to get to its target of 20 per cent of the world’s population.”
Canada and other countries' vaccine rollouts are already moving on to lower-risk populations, well ahead of lower income countries starting to vaccinate or fully vaccinate their high-risk populations.
Nickerson says that shows that countries need to be making firm commitments on how they intend to share doses, sooner rather than later.
“It’s not just an issue of sharing surplus doses once all low risk people in wealthy countries have been vaccinated,” he says. “It’s really a question of how countries can and when can countries start sharing doses immediately.”
Nickerson says the Canadian government has “hedged its bets” when it comes to the number of different vaccine manufacturers, vaccine platforms and suppliers it secured while negotiating some form of bilateral agreement in advance purchasing to be able to access those earlier than other countries would be able to.
“That has significant implications for public health ethics and global public health generally,” he says. “If we have large numbers of public health workers in low income countries that aren’t protected against COVID, that potentially places health systems and services at significant risk.”
Anne-Emanuelle Birn, a professor of critical development studies and global health at the University of Toronto, calls the situation "reprehensible, callous, and ethically odious."
"First of all, Canada should have refrained from receiving COVAX vaccines either altogether or at least until low- and middle-income countries had fully satisfied their vaccine needs," she says. "That Canada has been singled out for more than half a year as the country that has secured the most doses per capita - up to five times’ population need - and yet has continued to accept COVAX shipments, is beyond shameful."
She adds that many provinces have been sitting on a supply of Astra-Zeneca doses since last week, awaiting decisions regarding their distribution, while most of the world’s population –including people in India, Brazil, and elsewhere currently facing raging COVID-19 infections and deaths– have little or no access to vaccines.
"This situation is an outrage and should be widely condemned by the international community,"she says. "The Canadian government should do the right thing and equitably share its vaccine supply with the majority world."

Okay buddy I will give some "hope".Ray of hope thread but no atom of ‘ray of hope’ on this post
Next week, on May 26th, 24099 candidates will invited "No Program Specified".
How is that for a Ray of HOPE?
The Ontario government's webpage says nothing whatsoever about putting French as the first language;
https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-express-entry-french-speaking-skilled-worker-stream
So, no, you just need the required level for the two languages. Make sure you do the correct French language test (TCF Canada or TEF Canada), any other variant of the exam will lead to the application being rejected
Someone here said they should make French the first language in order to be pulled by French streams. Maybe my memory is bad. There are a few folks here with CRS 520+
@fridge03 is one candidate. If he sees this post he may be able to answer it. He's targeting Quebec

There's nothing on the Ontario government's webpage about this and therefore if an application is refused on those grounds then the rejection must be overturned as the government will not have provided correct information.
This happened with the TEF vs TEF Canada exam. Prior to March 2020, government guidance wasn't clear as to exam eligibility and they were obliged accept standard TEF results as well as TEF Canada results.
If anyone has found an Ontario or Federal government webpage explicitly saying French must be the first language, please share!
