almost like you should have put her skill set as 'farmer'.. would have been allowed right in apparently

canada runs ads looking for immigrants with 500k in their bank account. maybe you have to start saving.

we do? lol

I've been told just come over and stay you won't get deported. But even my own real experience says, I lived in USA, that if you have no real income, no SSN you enter another side of Canada or USA, it's ASS, in particular.

totally right :2 cents:

Good luck getting the job you want within Canada.

didnt know it was so hard to get into Canada. Its easy to get into the US, just enter through Mexico. Once here we will make you a citizen and give you benefits.

It must be frustrating that you are trying to do it correctly but have so much costs and trouble yet we let in hundreds of people a day with no paper work, background checks or anything, they just let themselves in.

Ever thought about marrying a US female citizen. I know there is a market for Russian brides, would be interesting if there would be one for lonely housewives looking for a Russian husband.

so what are you saying , they should keep the rules the way they are forever and ever even after they fill the need for positions ? sorry thats why they make rules, they allow people to become canadians to fill positions we lack, once there is no longer a need for say "web designers" they stop allowing them, otherwise there would be huge rates of unemployment
a dishonest lawyer ? only out to make money ? i don't believe it for a second, lawyers are always kind , honest and charge extremely cheap rates.


i think this is your only valid point.:thumbsup

Epic Fail is your thread not Canada
I wish you well but you have been posting on gfy about your immigration process for as long as I can remember. You should invest all that energy into something useful or get professional advice.

while i realise theres a little tongue in cheek in your statement, but those days are long over, you cant gain us citizenship merely by sneaking over the fence. The majority of illegals pay taxes and dont reap the social benefits from those taxes as americans do, nor do they get "refunds" . You gotta wonder how these huge companies have almost all illegal workers yet rarely get busted.. because they pay their taxes to uncle sam and don't ever ask for them back. My guess would be illegals are financially helping the country not hindering, despite the social services they recieve ( medical etc )

epic fail thread 123

Sid, sorry to hear about all of that. Hey, if anyone is looking for an outstanding worker and very talented guy I would suggest hiring Sid. He's done some real nice work for me.

Yup, this is hardly Canada's fail, more like lawyer fail, which could and does happen in every country of the world. Greedy inept lawyers are hardly indigenous to Canada.

Like you said, bad luck on your part, nothing more.


I have a cousin in the US who met a Canadian guy over the internet and they later decided to get married. They tried getting her into Canada first, and then also tried getting him in the US. Guess which way ended up working for them the easiest and fastest?

A: They are now happily married and together living in the US.

So in reading Quiet's posts I can so relate to what he's going through.

Sounds like the immigration process worked flawlessly in this instance. Enjoy Europe!

how long have you been there? you are going to be there for awhile i assume? have you been to Banff or Lake Louise yet, it's only 2 hours to Banff, a little bit longer to Louise. snowboarding/skiing, hit up Sunshine or Lake Louise (I like Louise better, but Sunshine has a longer season). If you're cool with spending a night, come up to Fernie. The snow is epic right now. its around a 4 hour drive though.

hiking... nothing can top Banff. There are so many awesome day hikes, don't even get me started. basic but fun short hike is tunnel mountain (be sure to right to the top, a lot of people don't realize it goes up further, wicked view). a little harder is sulfur mountain. sulfur is cool because at the top you can have lunch and a brew, and just take the gondola down if you don't feel like the hike down. hardcore, mount rundle. super hardcore, cascade mountain.

Sorry Dis70,

But Kiopa_Matt is exactly right. It sounds like your immigration lawyer doesn't know what he's doing. (Is he American or Canadian?). If you like, ICQ me and I'll send you the name of an excellent Canadian immigration lawyer that may be able to help you.

Long story short, The Canadian government wants you to be someone with (a) an in-demand skill set that hard to find in Canada, and (b) is likely to pay taxes forever. Web designers probably don't cut it because in reality, everyone is a web designer these days. They are easily found in Canada and even if they're not, can be hired to work from home anywhere in the world.

Quick question for you: Why do you want to Live in Canada? Canada is my home and I love it, but there's alot of it that sucks too. Taxes are insane, winters are freaking cold, crime in some cities like Vancouver is out of control, provinces like Quebec force you to read, write, speak and think in french, etc.

If you're in a position to live where you want to live, why not somewhere south where its warm? Your work is all online so you can live anywhere you want to. Why not keep it simple?

you can't beat the snowboarding ;)

Canada FTW!!!

Just tell them you are from Sri Lanka, you'll be in np

Might want to find another route.. Think outside the box.. Someone already posted the basis of it.

Are you nuts, Marina, i used a lawyer!!!!

Just throlling or really want to know? Jump in my skype.

and if you want to know this is my lawyers :

stfu retard. reality is different than some hobo tract you found in the garbage.

Canada is fucking cold, taxes are way to high for my taste, alcohol is way too expensive, fuck it

I agree with the taxes being too high..he's right. stay away .the polar bears will eat you if the walrus don't first
The Tundra can be a lonely place

Sounds more like a smart decision than an epic fail to me.

canada sucks. they always give me a ration of shit at the airport, like i'd really leave the USA to live in that frozen wasteland.

Got here in July. I am planning on staying a while. Thanks for the info. Any advice on COP? I hear it may be a good place to take my daughter to learn how to snowboard.

COP is good for a day out, and good for the city. If you can afford the time & money though, definitely goto Sunshine or Lake Louise. Stay away from Norquay (sp), as it's for the more advanced skiers.

Everyone has their own likes, but personally, I always enjoyed Sunshine much more. Mainly because Lake Louise is right at the parking lot, whereas with Sunshine you need to take a 20 - 30 minute gondola ride to get to the hill. Used to live in Canmore, and we had season passes to Sunshine, which was perfect. We'd head out two or three times a week, and once you got off the gondola is was like you were in a different world for the day, especially once you're off the chair lift and on top of the mountain.

Was great. Bust my ass behind the computer, and there was no better stress reliever than that. Fuck, now I want to go skiing. :(

COP is pretty bland, but a really good place for a kid to learn to ride. we had season's passes to both Louise and Sunshine for the three 3 years we lived there, and we mostly ended up riding louise. I love the back side, extremely remote, but you can still hit the bar/rest on that side. tons of great out of bounds/earn your turns areas on the backside as well. Norquay sucks pretty much, but they do have night riding/skiing, and i suppose it's the closest mountain, but that's the only time we'd ever go there (night skiing).

I did not red all the reply so if it's been said sorry

I've been able to get work permit for a web designer for the job number 4 :

Once you get approved by the canadian immigration, you don't need the province approval, you just go and pickup the work permit at a border.

Good luck, hope all will be good for you

its fucked up you cant get in if you speak really good english some ppl get in and dont even bother to learn english but thats fine there not trying to get jobs where they need it so doesnt matter

i say tour canada and just stay here, move to winnipeg lots of ukrains ;)

no one will notice ya here then just apply again once you get a job? then higher lawyers to go after your other lawyers lol

or apply for america while your here ;) backup plan heh

Your first mistake is wanting to move to Canada. That is a fail. Unless you actually have no skills and work ethic and intend on going straight on welfare and using the system to your advantage, there is no point in moving to the cold, hostile and bitter country called Canada.

I think most people would be bored out of their minds living in Fernie.:2 cents:

its not that cold here jeez... its only like -29 and prob a bit cold with windchill ;) toughen up ppl heh its sweater weather right now wait till jan/feb hehehehehehe

Agreed. I left Canada over 10 years ago. I've lived all over the world. Something only very fortunate people can do, people that work for themselves. To tie yourself down in Canada is rediculous. Might sound great to a foreigner, but its cold as fuck, the summers are dominated by black flies and mosquitos, taxes are insane, everything is super expensive like Western Europe and is getting higher and higher now that the Canadian dollar is so strong, the girls are bitchy and for the most part ugly and everybody seems miserable all the time for these above reasons.

The only good thing about Canada is the passport. However, if they made me pay taxes to keep it (like the US), I'd probably give it up.

My point exactly. In celcius, anything under 22, I consider chilly if theres a breeze.

Out of all the places in Canada, Winnepeg has gotta be the worst place to live. Unless you are an eskimo, I don't understand why anybody lives there?
