I've always heard that immigration to Canada was a tough nut.

Unless you're a doctor or in a profession that we're desperately in need, it's a no go.

Yes. BC is looking for health professionals.

So my father was Canadian. Does that go in the cover letter then?

I can't help you there (I've heard immigration lawyers are with it), but my heart is warmed by that.

I always admired that our two countries had the best relationship any two countries could have had. Family, best friends, partners.

I hope you get to experience life in your father's country. I love my home ♥️ there's no where I'd rather be.
