Randomly checking the latest Express Entry draws and it's wild. Canada’s immigration system is so catastrophically cooked that I genuinely don’t know how anyone expects it to be fixed anytime soon. We’re watching highly qualified researchers and engineers leave because Canada can’t give them a realistic path to stay, while the system creates bizarre incentives around other immigration categories (refugees and french people, yea) Half the top researchers I knew at McGill left because there was no viable permanent pathway. The other half moved to the US. We literally educate world-class talent, fail to retain them, and then act surprised when they leave. good luck. truly lol.

The problem could be fixed with a stroke of pen but most won’t have the stomach for it. But as our standard of living falls and people lose that comfort people will be comfortable doing things far worse.
