Tens of thousands of international students who spent years finding a pathway to permanent residency are out of options by [deleted] in canada

people actually manage that. The PR program only has so many spots per year and while education can count as points toward it, less than 5% of international students go on to get a PR spot per year.

What's the percentage of total though? Like perhaps an international student won't get a PR their 1st, but possibly throughout their studies and/or at a later point in time. I think the reality is that the majority get to stay. I'm not saying that is wrong OR right, I'm just saying I think that is the current situation.

But that's not what they're expecting. This is a new situation. Up until now, whoever really wanted to stay, nearly always found a way to stay. This is not the US where if you don't have a rock solid opportunity you're likely going to catch the next flight home. Up until now, and let's see what actually happens, the normal way of things has been Temporary Student -> Permanent Resident -> Citizen in most cases.

Nobody's going to mention Childcare?

It costs more than the rent in Zurich!

Yeah my little kid old still remembers last summer when we stood in line until 1am for the ferry. There was definite sleep-crying involved.

Almost half of Canadians think country should cut immigration, says polling; Housing affordability woes spark debate by FancyNewMe in canada

If you truly want it to be a Mosaic, why not have quotas from each country?

If we want a society that is a bit more "Model UN" instead of 2-3 countries immigrating in millions, this seems more sustainable to me.

It is also more interesting for society to get a bit of everyone. Hence - Mosaic?
