I think its very stupid that canadian employers keep asking ” do u have canadian experience” to immigrants. why give Visa to this immigrants in the first place if all they want is canadian experience. think canada just need taxi drivers, pizza man!

I think the people coming to Canada are not doing the research properly. There is no free lunch - anywhere, wether it is Canada or any part of the globe.

Life in Canada IS good IF you can find a job there. But the job market remains dismal (and people hoping that will turn around are only hoping against all odds.) Of course, that also means bad business prospects and high costs etc. So then, one may ask, why come to Canada at all?

Well, take Canada for what it is - an excellent stepping stone to the US (and that's about it). Once you are Canadian Citizen you can use it to work in the US. That process takes 3 years and that time will be well spent being a student at an excellent and low cost Canadian university like Toronto / Waterloo / UBC. (Don't bother with the no name ones and PLEASE don't go to the French ones).

So essentially then, it is a good place if you are in your mid to late 20s, want to pursue a graduate degree and then move on to the US where Canadian citizens can work on TN Visa (and hopefully H-1B and then green card). Anyone not fitting this profile has much more to lose than gain. If you are into your late 30s to late 40s, try to put things in perspective - Canada has little to offer you and you will be blowing up your savings. Weather you are black/white/Asian/Latino - doesn't make a difference. There is racism, but the economy is the main problem. The job market is just awful. You will have to struggle to meet basic needs. If that is still appealing, go ahead - You will be totally responsible for your own peril.

I came from India, I was 27, I went to grad school, did a masters from Univ of Toronto and as soon as I got citizenship, went to the US where I am still on TN status and working in a good job. Thankfully US still considers Canadian universities to be equal in terms of education quality. Besides this, I see no merit to life in Canada. So all you are left with is an expensive country with freezing temperatures.
