There is also a four year waiting list in most cases as well, unless you have a job lined up. The company employing you, then has to demonstrate that they couldn't find a Canadian resident to do the job as well. He found the whole experience totally negative and found opting for Aus a lot more straight-forward. The last time I looked, the queue through official channels to get into Canada was huge and a backlog of almost a million people!
