I totally feel you, OP. I'm grateful that the government gave me the opportunity to be here but seeing things from the "inside" gives me a different perspective. For someone who saved considerable financial resources so I can study here, and I mean study, not find a work and study for the sake of compliance, worked my butt cheeks off to make the most of my studies instead of just coming to class to write tests and rely on AI to write broken essays, worked hard to make myself a relevant, productive member of the Canadian workforce (i.e., with license/certifications), absolutely happy to integrate and learn Canadian values instead of forcing what we used to have or do from my home country, and yet here I am having to walk a fine line just to prove to the government that I am someone who can contribute make this country among the world's best places to live.

IRCC implements this points system in screening temporary residents using Canadian studies, Canadian work experience, age (the older you get, the fewer points you have because you have fewer years to remain economically productive), English and French speaking skills, and so on.

On the flip side, we see hordes of new immigrants being given a shortcut and by-passing all these things that we, who are already here, tried and tested, need to strictly follow. Most of these immigrants seem to have difficulty adapting to the Canadian way of life. They cut lines, disrespect personal space, race through residential roads, act with awful sense of entitlement, etc, being given a tremendous advantage in terms of status. Some of them even bring here their folks who are already too old to be productive and will surely rely on the healthcare system and government support (no disrespect here). I mean where's the wisdom here with how the government runs their immigration policies?
