‘Shocking and unjustifiable:’ Canada is deporting migrants at its highest rate in more than a decade
Advocates for migrant workers say the surge in deportations follows Ottawa's commitment to a 'regularization program' that would allow them to stay in Canada as the government responds to historic

If one isn't here legally, and making no attempt to stay here legally, I see no problem here. You came on a visa, you leave when it is up. You want to stay their is a way to do it and I do not care how hard it is. Everyone I know who immigrated here went through that system and every selfish prick trying to take the back door can get thrown back out it.
Recently spent 100 hours on PR paperwork for my gf, these entitled pricks can shove it
My wife/kids just got their PR cards in the mail. It took just shy of a year from the time we arrived in Canada to get it done. It was not cheap but it was not that complicated for us. Everyone's experience is unique, but I found the government services workers very friendly and eager to help.
It can't even be that hard, there were over a million immigrants in each of the last couple years.
I don't know what Canada's system is like, but I've heard it's harder to immigrate to Canada than the US, and it is not easy to immigrate to the US. You have to get your green card sponsored by a company or marry a citizen, there's a ridiculous amount of paperwork, and depending on what country you're from there can be a years long queue to get your green card application reviewed and approved. I would be interested to hear from a Canadian if it's a similar process.
It is easier in Canada, you don't have the stupid per country waitlist/lottery, the timelines are much shorter, it is more straightforward to turn a study permit into a work permit, that isn’t tied to a specific employer.
There is a qualification floor that changes every year, which can be a challenge for many to meet before their permit expires. Still, it is a process that provides for more certainty rather than all up to chance.
Specific provincial programs can advance your application higher towards the qualification bracket.
That said, even without as much bureaucratic nonsense, making ends meet in Canada is difficult because of high cost of living and lower wages than US which is why the States is appealing. In return you get a stable existence, such as not having to worry about a single medical condition ruining your life and finances.
A good video I watched on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRhZdmtw3Wg
We have a Swiss guy at the farm for a tourist work stay but would like to continue on for a few more months if we could pay him. I haven't had much luck finding out how to sponsor him and it supposedly takes a long time to get a work visa if you're already in the country. Any advice? Alberta BTW.
LMIA? It's one way to legally hire non-residents.
