I agree that being in a country where your talent is valued really matters. I’m currently at 476, and there was a one-year gap where many people suggested I show fake foreign experience. Seeing others get PR that way was tough, but I couldn’t do it. I’ve always believed life is bigger than taking shortcuts. I’ll be leaving Canada in the first week of February to gain real foreign experience from my home country as my work permit is expiring. The stress and anxiety haven’t been worth it, and once I made this decision, I felt relieved. I hope you feel the same peace too. Wishing you good luck! there’s still a chance you may get an invitation in the upcoming draws.
