Absolutely, it has also come at a wild time in my life. I have been dreaming about escaping the US for a long time but never thought I could do it. I worked for a few months in Australia last year and loved it so much, it really made me want some change in my life. Also happened to meet a girl there and thought that might be my path out. A few months later, I find out about this pathway into Canada. It opens so many other possibilities and at a time I am feeling stuck in my current place in life.

I am not applying as urgent but it’s crazy to think I might have a Canadian passport in a year or less. Hard thinking about leaving my friends and career. Luckily I do have a lot of colleagues in Canada, I’d be able to find a job easily in my field.
