Words from and Nesa & Premm after the ruling of the this judge:
===
Hi everyone

Well this is a minor setback which we had expected due to the fact of opening a floodgate. We believe that everything happens for a reason, ONLY TIME WILL TELL and when one door closes another opens. Maybe the Federal Court doors are closed but it has open the door of The Federal Court of Appeal.

We have filed our Appeal on August 23rd. If all goes well, we anticipate a hearing within 6 months the minimum. We appreciate and value your support. Thank you
Nesa & Premm. Alberta.

Soon 25 immigrants will start a group-class action. The outcome could be :

1. If the claimants win Canada will have to change the immigration policy and provide real opportunities and more equility to immigrants to avoid more lawsuits.

2. If the court reject the case or the sentence is negative, it will mean that Canada is ruled under a false democracy with a politicized and corrupted justice system serving only those in power and not the people.

I will be out of the country in a few weeks...let's wait and see what happen. http://www.canadaimmigrants.com

all the best,

Think about this:

USA : 300 million population. Accepts only 100.000 skilled immigrants/year under H1-B job ready visa.

Canada : Only 30 million population and accepts 320,000 skilled immigrants/year !!! and no jobs available !

What a cruel business. We should call this human traffic, shouldn't we ? read this interesting posting :

"...I agree with many of the posters on this site that it is horrible when a person cannot find work to match their skill level. But I would also argue that intellectually individuals have to recognize that there are more skilled workers available globally than there is need for them in the marketplace.

All OECD countries, almost simultaneously, publicized a skilled worker shortage to attract immigrants to their shores in the hope to meet professed demand indicated by employers. But such demand has not been adequately demonstrated and key statistics are not revealed to the public detailing the number of annual job openings by profession versus the number of degrees conferred in those professions or migrant numbers with those skills. The result has been an overwhelming oversupply of skilled workers resulting in depressed/lowered wages, weakened labor unions and protections and more competition. Increased competition has expressed itself through professional associations increasing credential requirements, universities expanding program lengths, employers asking for more experience or local experience, decreased morale, workplace stress and stagnant “real” productivity. It would be wrong to blame an average Canadian citizen for this policy because our government did not consult people over this decision - but consulted corporations.

Many posters on this site seem to think that Canada is somehow more culpable for its failure to utilize immigrants skills in the workplace; however the USA accepts much fewer skilled workers per year (<100,000 USA H- visas per year) compared to 320,000 in Canada. USA skilled worker visas (below masters level) requires employers prove that local residents are not available or do not have the skills required to perform the job; no such restriction exists in Canada. The difference is made even more significant by the relative population levels and the relative education levels of citizens in both nations. In the USA, with a jobless recovery, there are also many local citizens speaking out against immigration policies that adversely affect American workers..."

I would add : only mainstream Canadians win. They take advantage of the naive immigrants who end up paying the income of those Canadian born who enjoy the good positions in the top of companies and the bureaucratic government. I feel happy for finally leaving this so hypocrite society.

Good luck.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.

Most of Immigrants are skilled workers (60% or more) and most of refugees hold professional credentials or are skilled workers too. The point is still valid :

It is IMPOSSIBLE to integrate properly 320,000 immigrants /year in a small population economy like the Canadian.

This is about PEOPLE with goals and hope (...and money) who is immigrating to create a new life, no tourist who spend 3 weeks in the country.

It seems the system strategy is to generate more income, acting as a revolving-turning over immigration system where the 50% of immigrants who leave Canada after a few months or two years, are replaced for the next "delivery" of 320,000 coming the next year, and so on. It is IMPOSSIBLE to integrate properly 320,000 immigrants /year in a small population economy like the Canadian.

Oversupply of labor decreases its cost and generate more taxes and income to bureaucracy and profits to investors and corporations. Check out this article in KPMG website:

"Canada Ranks First as Least Costly Place to do Business"

http://www.kpmg.ca/en/news/pr20040218.html

"...Salary and wage costs in Canada rank second after Italy..."
"...Cost for statutory holidays and other benefits (as a percentage of payroll) rank lowest in Canada ..."

Immigration has to be done with responsibility. A country cannot grow the economy based on this cruel-human traffic like immigration system.

Good luck to all.
