i think you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. people come from all around the world, working shit jobs, just for the chance to live/snowboard/ski/downhill bike here. lol.

Its possible I don't know, I've never been to Fernie, although I lived in BC (Vancouver) and hated it. My opinion on Fernie is coming from googling it and not seeing all that much to do. I guess if you ski everyday its pretty cool, but I hate the cold, so probably not for me.

Where in Indo did you live? I visit there but it seems like a hassle to try to stay there long term without a business visa. Care to share?

Totally bad ass. :thumbsup

Been snowboarding for 24 years and believe it or not that is the thing (excluding family and friends) I miss the most about living in SE Asia. If I had a good great place to snowboard here, life would be grand.

lol anyway

Go for it my friend :pimp

it's a jungle out here :1orglaugh

This is exactly why I left Canada and went to the US. At least here, if you fuck up, you end up homeless. In Canada, if you fuck up, no matter, the GOV'T will pay for you (ie, the people that didn't fuck up).

In the US, if you make it, it's all you - if you fuck up, it's all you.

Where you declined only for the reason of having the wrong occupation? Or did you not meet their "point system" - you know, points for having a degree etc.
As long as you meet that criteria, it should be possible to immigrate. You just need to meet their criteria first and give them a reason to let you in. In the two years that you have been waiting to get in you could have gotten some simple bachelor degree on the side.

Moving to Canada would be trading one hell for another. Why not travel the world and spend your money doing that instead of rooting yourself again?

I have met all the criterias ( education, language, money, i had more then then points then its required_ , but due to the fact my occupation was not in the NOC i should have had an arragement employemnt ready, one company tried to make ti for me and failed. Bad luck was, my application was sent prior to this NOC cut, so they noticed i was applying as a web designer and then changed to system manager

Well I guess since you Googled it that would make you an expert!!

Well. Wrong. You are fucking wrong. You, Canadian, can not understand that with your passporte you can travel whenever you want and easily stay just opening a company, or just take a flight/ride to another country. You need no visas.

I am stuck in here, i can not just move to another country, they require return tickets, full stay hotels paid and cut visa jsut for that exact term.

I can understand that living in a country of plenty you somehow forgot about benefits you are getting, while in Ukraine people liev for $120 month because this corrupted government is uding us natrually. I don't say Canada is perfect but for many its a ticket to freedom, the way to have average job for the rest of their lives, to fucking nurse your old parents finally.

You dont know a bit about Ukraine.

you make some good points Sid, some things are relative, comparing pure dollars to dollars is not always a total picture, your internet service for one is probably superior to most Canadians' home internet service and you are probably paying way less per month for it. having a roof over one's head, and enough food to eat, these things cost more in Canada, so you have to earn more to have the same basic things to survive, many people work hard in Vancouver and barely cover their rent and food for the month, and owning a house is an impossible dream for most (and if you do manage to finance into one, it turns into a lifetime of slavery to mortgage payments and utitlities). probably 90% of Canadians don't travel anywhere anyways, other than maybe a trip to the states or mexico a few times in their lifetime.

I know of immigrants that were unhappy in their home country, and then after a year in Canada are unhappy in Canada too. I sympathize with your comments about government, it is a hard time for transition and corruption is a problem more in some countries than others. I think if I have a warm flat to live in and good internet service and computer, and good quality food to eat, not have to work too hard for it, I should be happy.

Best of luck to you in fulfilling your dreams

If you aren't full filling a job that is needed here than the immigration process worked correctly.

If you are an immigrant and not in a needed position and you come here you will be taking jobs from Canadian citizens. Canadian citizens should always get first priority and I 100% believe that no immigrants should be allowed in the same or similar competing field.

Countries should be more about their own citizens to much globalism is bad and I'm glad they have these safe guards in place.

If you 100% care about going you should be making the steps to get a degree in a "really" needed job. That will fast track your process and almost guarantee your entry.

It is not Canada's fault the way your country is.

COme fuckin on, i have missed just 10 days, before that there was NO NOC limitation. And I have a fuckign Canadian Diploma in Management Studies, that did not give me ANYTHING. Canada is going down the shitter as the rest of the world, that's wy limitation.

вам найкращі побажання в новому роци і веселіх свят :pimp

Just keep trying man, call the Canadian government people directly don't rely on lawyers, be friendly be nice and try to make friends with the people you talk to on the phone.

Well someone, somewhere, any time a law is passed missed it by just a few days.

Law doesn't make exceptions that's why it is called law. It is not Canada's fault you missed it it is 100% your fault.

Is Canada in high demand for people with a "Management Studies" degree? I would think not but I could be wrong. (or else they would let you in)

If Canada is going down the shitter the last thing we need is more immigrants taking jobs from locals. Seems the system is working. I'm actually surprised.

Explain to me how it is "Canada's fail" that you do not fit the qualifications to be here? that is what i am trying to understand.

I wish you the best of luck. But I am looking at facts of the system. I still wish you luck in getting here. Unless of course I all of a sudden need a web design job and immigrants are taking them up. See how it is give and take for locals?

tell them you're starting up a donair joint or a halal pizza place and you're in.

100 :) ....

Fernie is pretty good as far as small towns go and if you hated living in Vancouver then the problem is definitely with you :)
