It clearly showing that people are feeling difficulties in applying for immigration,therefore Canadians authorities should make changes and relaxations in their immigration process,at present it is simply impossible for a person to apply for immigration who is not having any relative in Canada.
Even a person having Master Degree,IELTS 7.0 SCORE,Experience of 20 years, even then he will need score 0f 5 points due to his relative for compliance of 67 marks.
 
Hi Akrumm66,
I agree with you. People are finding it difficult to apply

1) It is not easy to even accumulate the funds,
2) Points like you have mentioned also,
3) The NOC codes also is a problem.

When the new rules will come out it will even be more difficult. After looking at the suggested changes, it will be much more difficult. If they increase the experience years, and reduce the age and also increase language points, then the young people may qualify for points, but will be lacking the experience and the funds.

Lets wait and see.
