Canadian immigration rules are a total disgrace and created by something out of Swift and Joseph Heller. I have highly qualified people who come into my office on a weekly basis who cannot find work -- their credentials got them into this country, but once they get in these credentials are not accepted. The refugee/political/family entry streams are so mixed up that no one can understand them. If you fall in love with someone in most foreign countries, and want to bring them in without marrying them, that is forbidden; but if you run a stripjoint in Toronto and want to ship in poor women from anywhere in the world to exploit them, you can do so. Many countries desperately need their college graduates to build their own infrastructure -- so we strip them of those people. And we complain about our own brain drain to the U.S. It is completely insane.
