Oblivious American comment incoming.
Like others, I looked up Canadian immigration, and disappointed to find it is relatively hard. Didn't consider why.
Spoiler: Canada has its own problems incoming.
@S_r_stone trumpism emboldened our white nationalists & white wing nut religious nut jobs. sadly.
i mean, we were never free of racism. but i think peeps felt guilty about their racism & stfu about it. now they feel no consequences. and the leader of the cons certainly has helped inflame it.
gotta find someone to blame for the economy, global inflation, & housing affordability.
@S_r_stone well, i did make a post about where to move to - saskatchewan.
i should have mentioned a couple of other things. if you're a family doctor, medical tech, nurse practitioner or fully registered nurse, you may go to the front of the line.
@singlemaltgirl Where is this post?
Is there some special program for Saskatchewan?
@singlemaltgirl I have checked for specific Saskatchewan criteria and it seems to be the same as general Canadian criteria.
Sure there are provisions for specific occupations, but it is scored and you get points for experience but dinged for "being old" on those points. And it doesn't help retired people.
Other countries are more open (and some less open) with just criteria for income being demonstrated, no specific occupations required.
@S_r_stone I made a post about this very thing and people got upset with me about it. Right-Wing Extremism is on the rise globally and if we don't stop it now, there's no safe haven to be had anywhere.
@KaijuNET Hmmm, got upset with you on what grounds?
They dispute it being true?
I think there are "safer" places for sure than us. But Canada seems only marginally so, and maybe temporarily so.
Kinds wish I was still oblivious. Thinking Canada was better about Xenophobia gave me hope.
