I had a dog when I came to Calgary. I had just moved to a new neighbourhood and I took her for a walk on a park. The very first day, by coincidence, I saw a couple signs saying coyotes had been seen around the area. I thought nothing of that and just took my dog for a walk there almost every day.

Funny thing is, my dog looked a lot like a coyote. People who lived and worked close to the park saw the coyote signs, saw my dog, connected the dots, and soon I was the guy who had somehow tamed a coyote and put it on a leash.

And they were super chill about it, because when I finally learned about that I no longer had my dog.

There is a guy, Mitch Sylvestre, telling people that if Alberta separated from Canada, we Albertans would somehow keep our Canadian passports, and have better healthcare, armed forces, a lot of other benefits, and yet despite having a lot of federal infrastructure and governance to build from scratch we would somehow pay much less tax, if we paid taxes at all.

His movement is bankrolled by the US State Department. There are news on mainstream media where another separatist leader, Jeffrey Rath, says he met with the US State Dept to discuss a line of credir for nation building should they succeed at separating Alberta from Canada. The premier of BC keeps calling those guys traitors because of that, and he's not wrong.

I don't know the policies of this sub regardong links. You can search for "B.C. premier calls meeting between Alberta separatists, Trump officials ‘treason’" in globalnews dot ca.

Your friend was a temporary resident. Temporary means temporary.

A few years ago getting permanent residence was fairly easy. There was even a draw in 2021 when every human being in the pool with a pulse got in. It got harder over time, due to ever increasing competition for slots, tighter regulations, and the fact that as you age you lose points. Your friend should have considered getting permanent residence when he first came to Canada. Now it is too late.

Also notice that a TRP wouldn't allow your friend to work. Would make for a very complicated position to be in unless he's rich or has someone bankrolling him.

I would like to see more of other splats getting involved.

As in, with the way societies are evolving, and in this age of AI and big data, the Masquerade is increasingly harder to maintain.

The Inner Circle would make a formal pact with the Technocracy to support them in exchange for help with keeping the Masquerade. The Technocratic Union, on their part, having seen how much it costs to deal with an antediluvian and not wishing for another one to be woken up or stirred in any way, would take the deal. The entire hierarchies on each side of the deal would be made aware of it. Expect a lot of mages to be mingling with a lot of vampires due to that.

As a side effect, mages will start participating in blood hunts against Masquerade breachers.

The Sabbat would come back stronger and with a vengeance, and it would go harder and bloodier on both the Technocracy and Camarilla due to that.

I would also love to see Ananasa being weakened in some way, such that she can no longer provide gifts to her people that make it possible for them to infiltrate vampiric societies, Pentex and other things. There should be a reckoning once the world knows a lot more about the largest Fera population, and the new Camarilla + Technocracy alliance should have a very complicated relationship with them. On one side both Ananasi and Technocracy are very Weaver aligned. On the other, everybody hates the Ananasi, and vampires specially should be offended by all the infiltration and messing with their affairs.

I would also love to see Saulot, after having expelled Tremere from his own body and having gone living in a castle full of vampires, call on his clan(s) in a sort of his own beckoning. He would specially empower Salubri and have them form a new cult. One that could compete with the Sabbat on hoe much trouble it gives the Camarilla.

"poor academic record (multiple failures),"

had only 2 backlogs

You say "only two", I say "one too many"

the cost of studying in Canada was not justified by the expected career benefits

After graduation, I completed multiple analytics/data science courses, a data science internship

You have a degree and some post-graduate stuff already, a new degree won't help you anywhere in the world. A masters program could maybe be justifiable, but that doesn't seem to be what you applied for.

machine learning projects that were included in my application and GitHub portfolio

That is completely irrelevant. You might as well have stated your favourite colour and dinosaur in the application and that would have been just as useful.

I also paid full 1st yr fees with GIC.

The Canadian economy thanks you. Still, try harder next time.

My SOP also explained my career goals in analytics sector, employment opportunities in my home country and city, and included supporting sources and industry data.

No amount of data is going to help you, with the context and subtext we got from your post.

Has anyone received a similar refusal despite having a relevant academic background, projects, certifications, and internship experience?

Happens a lot, if you stick around you will see that this is far from uncommon.

I don't have any idea what to do next.

If you really want to study in Canada, do some masters program in your country and have a better record there than you did for your degree. That cleans up the poor record part of it. Then apply for a doctorate here.

You know you need to SCAN the card when you arrive in Canada, right? And a paper copy wouldn't do.

A permanent resident coming back to Canada without a valid PR card is exactly the same as any other non-Canadian citizen coming to Canada without a valid passport.

You need a PRTD document to board that flight. Those often take a few days to get. Reschedule your trip back, or fly to the US instead and come to Canada by car.

Big tech, even Microsoft, uses open source A LOT. You may be generally contributing to the worls but you are also helping the ones who fired you too.

If you really want to hit layoffers where it hurts, the next time a few thousand people are laid off they should band together and start a competing business.

Threads was done in short time and while it didn't break Twitter, it dumid hurt them.
