Firstly I’ve been watching your channel since its inception and even started my own so thank you for all of your great content! Secondly your advice made my process to PR a bit more bearable as it was great to see someone going through the same process. Now for the harsh realities…it’s bad right now and I feel for anyone trying to start over in Canada without any friends or family. If you have a decent life I highly advise you just visit and gather as much info as possible. I would not advise someone to spend their life’s savings to start over in Canada unless you’re running from a bad situation. Rent is high and salaries are very low.

6:12 is SPOT ON!

Everyone can be deserving. But not everyone is entitled or eligible.

Apart from the valuable insights, I really appreciate the video delivery, colour grading and overall cinematography!

[paulissar]

t’s insane to encourage students to come to Canada when there is no where for them to live.

[sabahnoorrahman]

You have such a calming way, vibes and aura of rolling out the facts, I must say!

I just wanted to say a few things about my experience in here, in case it helps to anyone. I studied Computer Science in a college in Vancouver, 2 years program that would get you the 3 years PGWP. In the end, the school ended up being way less than what I expected, the education is mediocre as well as the teachers and the chances of landing any decent job that would help after graduation on the Industry that I planned to specialize in is almost nearly impossible. The chances of getting a good job are just very slim without having a masters in something (which means chances are even smaller if you did just a college). I've really enjoyed my time here in Vancouver as it is a beautiful city and place to live, but the chances of staying here in a permanent basis are just absurd for people that want to start or follow a similar path as mine. The only thing i have left to say is good luck to anyone who is in a similar situation and hoping all the best for you and your future plans, as times are really tough now.

You made a point I feel like you should make a video just to itereate that again for all to hear. "Canada does not owe anyone anything beyond the the education one pays for, that being said, you don't have to feel entitled to anything, worse comparing or competing with natives of the land". Thank you @rrdancel for exposing this hard truth.

The only way somebody can even think closely to come to Canada and reach the PR are three main things that, as said in the video, all are going to follow anyway by the time they reach the eligibility:

- Come to Canada with a Master Degree
-Come to Canada with experience from back home
-Knowledge and certification of French

Without these, and we are already at this point, CEC general draws are not an option any more.

Extremely informative. Please continue making these, it’s Oprah level of vlogging 😊

5:40 “Procrastinating on applying for Canadian citizenship” is itself another big mistake. If you’re in Canada, take all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of a Canadian resident by becoming a Canadian Citizen. Permanent residents are still restricted from fully entering restricted jobs exclusively for Canadian citizens and are still deportable. I don’t see any reason for the delay.

There's been many changes in the rules of Canadian immigration, even for Australia and New Zealand so it's disheartening especially that it's always been a goal of mine to settle abroad, particularly in Canada. Due to all these changes, I decided to take a break in researching about it since it didn't help me mentally

[amityboymo]

This is AMAZING!!! I find it so relatable when you talked about how you couldn't possibly plan ahead that you would fall in love with Canada then wanting to stay and also how you made a mistake getting just a 1 year post study visa, sometimes we all make mistakes. But I'm SO HAPPY for you that with sheer amount of luck and miracle you got your PR CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🎉🎉🥰❤️

[brtmod]

Amazing and informative video! I recently graduated and just applied for PGWP. I came here with my wife and daughter. Now, I need to find the right job, which is not that easy at this moment. In my opinion, Ontario is really full now. I am also starting to learn French to improve myself personally and increase my chances of finding a job here!

PR, PR. All are dreaming for PR. Apply to university not in college if you want to be competitive.

[Theworldisafamily]

Things aren’t looking bright if you’re trying to plan a PR pathway. Canadians have come around to understanding all the loopholes that various folks have been exploiting to gain residency. This coupled with a breakdown in the social contract b/w the government and the electorate has made locals very suspicious of the entire program. To add to that cost of living, no jobs, housing crisis has meant that the government is slowly steering itself from being pro immigration to selective immigration. I expect the number of TRs entering the country in 2025 to be 30-40% of what they were in 2023. We’ll see hundreds of thousands of people who don’t qualify for PR and may become illegal or go home, with a huge acceleration in 2025-2026 onwards. For anyone entering, be extremely careful and do A LOT of research.

Let me save everyone watching the trouble:

Canada is no longer a destination for internationals and Canadians are beginning to deeply hate internationals.

[grejohnjosecalamba]

Hey Rachel. Forgot to thank you. Your videos have been my guide to my educational journey in Canada. Halfway done! God bless

[tahsinsajid]

Masters degree is a must if you want to have high chance of getting Pr. Especially if you can manage to get masters degree in canada in business, engineering it any other good fields your life is pretty much set.

[aryankud]

I think I’m the unluckiest person ! I have tried to get visa since 2020, i just got visa last month after hire lawyer to seek judicial review, i have LOA of MBA course in Vancouver, I guess this course is not eligible to get PR ! I’m in trouble, whether follow my dream to study and live in canada or quit it and feel regret for ever!

[JoyinCanada]

Great job rrdancel! You're so good in explaining things. Once again thank you for sharing your knowledge to everyone😊😊
