They are not telling you the truth. Do your own research!
Top 8 reasons NOT to immigrate to Canada
Below : Dr. Khalid Rafiq, is one of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants in Canada forced to survive on the worst labour jobs the country has to offer. A Ph.D. graduate from Pakistan, he now earns minimum wage driving a taxi in Toronto for a living.from http://www.notcanada.com/ home page
8. Discriminatory and Dishonest Immigration System.
Immigration to Canada is based on a point system, obtained with your education, qualifications and job experience. Points are good enough for immigration, but in Canada, they are not good enough to get a job in your field. Amazing, how the credentials that qualify you to come to Canada are the same credentials that don't qualify you for your profession in Canada. The reason is, Canada only wants immigrants to do the labor jobs - pizza delivery, driving taxis, factory work etc.
7. Out Of Control Cost Of Living.
From rent, to utility bills, to shopping, to phone, internet and cable bills, to gas, to car insurance, to eating out, to basically anything you have to pay for or buy, the cost of living in Canada has become astronomical. Recent immigrants are astonished as to how expensive everything is. It is estimated that compared to most countries around the world, the cost of living in Canada is on average five times greater.
6. Health Care Crisis.
Practicing physicians in Canada are in a shortage, 1 in 4 Canadians cannot get a family doctor. Canadian doctors are leaving to move permanently to the United States. Statistics Canada and the Canadian Medical Association both have identified that for every 1 American doctor that moves to Canada, 19 (nineteen) Canadian doctors move to the United States! Doctors in Canada are overworked and underpaid, and there is a cap on their salaries.
5. Very High Taxes.
Yes, you have the GST, the PST, totaling 15%, on practically everything you purchase and many other taxes taken out of our weekly paycheck. You have to pay a whopping amount to the government, out of your hard earned salary, so that the government can turn around and give it to beer drinking, hockey watching welfare bums. Fair? It does not matter, it's Canada.
4. Money Hungry Government.
Canadian Embassies around the world lie to foreigners, painting this picture that Canada is Utopia, because they want them to come to Canada. Why? Because foreigners bring money! So after being deceived, these foreigners come. They must bring with them at least $10,000. Canada has an immigration quota of 250,000 per year. So please do the math, 250,000 multiplied by $10,000 each equals a whopping 2.5 Billion dollars that Canada gains from immigrants every year.
3. No Culture.
Unlike almost every other country in the world, Canada has no culture. Actually American culture is what dominates Canada. When was the last time you had some 'Canadian' food? There are no Canadian traditions and there is no national identity. What does it even mean to call yourself a 'Canadian'. . .nothing really. People living in Canada, still identify themselves with the country they 'originally' came from.
2. Worst Weather.
Yes, Canada has the worst weather conditions of any country in the world. Freezing cold temperatures, snow, ice, hail, winds, storms etc. From the Prairie provinces to the Maritimes, from the Territories to southern Ontario, the weather is so horrific and disgusting that many Canadians leave Canada simply because of this reason alone.
1. No Jobs.
Yes, coast to coast, there are no jobs. Immigrants are highly qualified (MD's, PhD's, Lawyers, Engineers etc.) but they are driving taxi cabs, delivering pizza's or working in factories. Even people with bachelors degrees from Canadian Universities cannot find jobs after graduation. This is the tragedy associated with immigration to Canada. I feel sorry for those immigrants who are stuck in Canada for the rest of their lives. It is indeed a very sad and hopeless future.
2.If you cant survive in a place you are familiar,
do you have a higher chance to lead a better life in a new place?
3.It is a matter of trade off.Better so called freedom,but
worry of public order and direct verbal of racism.
Better welfares,but higher tax.
4.Do more home work before you decide.
Why not pretend you are a PR and called the employers
in any country to see how is their responses after they know
you are new immgrant?
Pretend you are already PR in any country and stay there for few
weeks.You can see the true responses of prople there.
Lets say stay in Aussie for few weeks and 'try 'to looking for a job. -
Why do Birds Migrate?
Every spring and fall, many species of birds migrate from one place to another. Why do they migrate, and how do they know where to go?
First, what is migration? Migration is when an entire group of animals moves from one area to another area. Some swallows go all the way from southern South America up to Northern Canada. Even longer, the Arctic Tern travels 18,000 miles on its route between the north and south poles.
Birds that migrate do so in order to find food and suitable breeding territory. Most are strictly limited in the type of environment they must have in order to survive and reproduce, although some are "habitat generalists," meaning they can adapt to just about anywhere...
“My interest isn’t at all scientific, I’ll leave that for the more logically minded." Kathleen Gibson
Canada geese that nest in Massachusetts are descendants of geese once kept in captivity to be used as live decoys. These birds were released when the use of live decoys was outlawed in 1935. Having been bred in captivity for several generations, these birds never developed a migration tradition which passed down from generation to generation in wild birds. Hence, those geese never learned to migrate, nor did their young. There were only a few geese originally and caused few problems but as the population expanded, doubling every few years, by the 1970s people began complaining about nuisance geese. So it's not that they don't migrate anymore, they never did, but with over 30,000 geese in the state now, people are certainly more aware of them.
Emily DickinsonÂ’s Poem
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all

Now you are threading onto my territory . I started off as a PR - BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. STILL IN AUSTRALIA !
Let's refute the last sentence - I got a job offer from a hospital before I even landed. Actually 2 hospitals. I have skill ...they have shortage - I get a job
.
Pakistani PhDs? Maybe not recognised or they flunk the exams.....overseas you have to get accreditated by the local boards. For example, you could be a Singaporean registered doctor who migrated to USA but if u fail the US medical board exams - you cannot work in USA.
From the last topic of yours , you did not seem to read what I wrote about EEO - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY. You have a right to legal recourse if you feel you are discriminated against. It is a law in many developed nations that discrimination is illegal.
Better welfare and higher taxes is better than no welfare and progressive taxation. At least in Canada and Australia, you got a small safety network and free healthcare to catch you when you are down and out.
You can talk about Canada all you want and I won't say anything about your comments because I don't know much about Canada. However I do have a granduncle in Canada who did very well for himself.
When you pull Australia in , Please try to keep out of being presumptive because I actually live and work there for a few years now AND I can basically take your arguments apart . -

At least their policy is to gt FT and do low level jobs where in SG, its to replace SG people at all levels especially the higher ones because we are not elites and therefore not capable.
