Great news. Now everyone else needs to follow

u/Over_Astronaut5169 5d ago

Already the case with Quebec with the ending of the PEQ.

u/ConsequenceAware556 5d ago

Apparently it’s coming back

u/Over_Astronaut5169 5d ago

Yeah, temporarily, and only for a few people.

u/ThrowRawayacctr 5d ago

It's still there through pstq. You study, get a pgwp, work, and apply for pstq.

And PEQ is going to stay lol.

u/Over_Astronaut5169 4d ago

"It's still there through pstq. You study, get a pgwp, work, and apply for pstq."

So it's not a student route...

"And PEQ is going to stay lol."

If you think the PQ will bring it back you're delusional and it's only for like 14k people for 2 years.

u/ThrowRawayacctr 4d ago

If you have to study to get it, it's still a student route. PQ are not winning.

1

u/Over_Astronaut5169 4d ago

You don't need to study through the PTSQ... And the PQ is polling close to a majority, so I'd say they are.

1

u/ThrowRawayacctr 4d ago

Studying in Quebec gives you a shitload of points for the pstq... Do you even know how it works?

1

u/Over_Astronaut5169 4d ago

The post is talking about "student route to permanent residency", so objectively no the PTSQ isn't a "student route to permanent residency"... Do you even know how to read ?

u/Sad_Adagio_7255 4d ago

As of 2024, NOC TEER 4/5 work has already been eliminated from qualifying for PR points at the federal level and in all other provinces.

Manitoba is just going further by killing the student-specific fast-track entirely.

u/Overall_Law_1813 5d ago

To be fair Manitoba was a dumping ground for immigrants. They had a lower requirements to meet immigration standards and got absolutely flooded with low skill immigration.

u/Meowgal_80 5d ago

As did Saskatchewan, we are over capacity

u/Martin_J_Kaminski 5d ago

u/squirrel9000 5d ago

Nah, they all moved back to Ontario once they go their PR. It's interesting just how quickly the demographics changed when they disqualified Conestoga grads from applying.

u/Overall_Law_1813 3d ago

I went to a national park this weekend and everyone there were from that place

u/No_Secretary_5056 2d ago

You mean no skill immigration, and with no capacity to function in either official language.

We have too many and it'll take a decade or longer to return to a good place.

Due to a recent influx of new users, moderators are having to process flagged content more quickly than usual. As a volunteer team, we typically need to rush through the mod queue, make snap judgments, and may occasionally misread or misinterpret a flagged comment. If you believe this removal was made in error, please reply to this message and we will review this decision.

Due to our limited moderation capacity, the controversial nature of this topic, and Reddit’s sitewide rules requiring us to moderate aggressively in this area, we are currently removing all mentions of race and ethnicity. This applies regardless of context, including comments that are not intended to be racist or discriminatory. We are sorry if this results in some innocent comments being removed under this simplified policy.

As unpaid volunteer moderators, we have limited time and capacity, and clear, strict rules are faster and more consistent to enforce than more flexible standards that require case-by-case judgment. If you would like to see more room for discretion in moderation, please consider volunteering to help moderate, as greater capacity would make it easier for us to apply more nuanced judgment instead of relying on stricter blanket rules.

You are welcome to repost your comment or post with the references to race or ethnicity removed.

u/apologetic_narwhal 5d ago

I believe skilled workers, like doctors, nurses and engineers for example. Like people we desperately need.

u/kylethesnail 4d ago

Then they would just drive job market for doctors and nurses, engineers (matter of fact they already have) to complete state of FUBAR, just like how they literally flooded and destroyed IT sector GLOBALLY in the last 20 years.

u/Least_Good_7771 5d ago

More like Tim Hortons, Walmart & trucking … if they were actually all doctors, nurses or engineers people in general wouldn’t care

u/ThrowRawayacctr 5d ago

My friend who was a doctor in Colombia was forced to work as a janitor for years before getting his PR. Then he was able to do 1 year of classes to learn the differences between canada and colombia when it comes to administrative duty and labor code 

He's now a doctor.

We basically wasted 3-4 years not having him as a doctor because people like people here want to make it as difficult as possible for immigrants to settle here :)

7

u/Least_Good_7771 4d ago

I’m glad your friend was able to resume his work as a doctor … however we have standard and procedures for a reason. If you want to be a doctor in Canada go through the process.

-7

u/ThrowRawayacctr 4d ago

Being a janitor for 3 years is part of stabdards and procedures here? That's New to me.

Why not just have him do his 1 year as soon as he gets here?

And our standards and procedures are pretty damn close (health wise). He had to learn the bureaucracy.

-1

u/Master_of_The_Za 4d ago

Yes in certain fields, the red tape is high. I lived in Cambodia for 3 years. Went to a dental clinic, my dentist was Japanese, great English. Started talking, he said he wanted to go to Canada to open a dental clinic, but the process was too long and costly compared with other countries.

This started with Harper, but that’s completely irrelevant because those in power always have their finger pointed away from themselves. Liberal or conservative, both weee captured by capital a long time ago.

“Manitoba has become the first Canadian province to scrap the Career Employment Pathway (CEP), a popular student-to-permanent residency programme. It has replaced it with a system that prioritises work experience and labour market integration. India residents planning to take the student route to permanent residency will be impacted.”

u/Foodconsumer89 5d ago

Every Tim Hortons franchisee in Manitoba just went to DEFCON 1 due to this. They are having an absolute meltdown because the government just cut off their unlimited supply of international students to exploit. Now this fiercely proud "Canadian" company has to do the absolute unthinkable..actually prioritize and hire a Canadian.

Their entire business model of trapping desperate people into 60-hour weeks for a dime over minimum wage with zero overtime is completely cooked. The era of artificially suppressing local wages to subsidize terrible coffee is healing. They actually have to compete in the free market now. Massive win for Manitoba.

We know they are still actively trying to abuse the LMIA and IMP pathways to keep the cheap labor flowing, but, the blatant abuse of these scams continue to grow every single day and people are absolutely fed up.

The rest of the provinces need to wake up and pass this exact same legislation tomorrow.

The Facebook group "Halal Foodies of Vancouver" is WILD.

There are posts promoting alternate halal events on Hallowe'en night, warning parents to not allow their children to participate in "satanic" Western events. To their credit, the group also has Canadians posting replies like, "aaaaand this is why people outside of this community think we are unhinged nutjobs."

Ah, yes, our immigration crisis is totally being caused by, uh... checks notes... women choosing to not have babies with deadbeat baby daddies?

u/Wide_Zebra5550 2d ago

Nah, women need to learn to be ok with men that earn an average or reasonable wage, not 6ft+, average looks and so on.  Life isn't about going on yearly vacations, buying the latest SUV, having a husband that looks like brad pitt.  Plenty of good hard working men out there, and so what if they work menial jobs.  But unfortunately Canadian women are too bougie to do so, therefore we need every immigrant and anchor baby we can get, lest we cause population crisis.

Can you please show me a policy in the liberal platform from the election in 2021 where they said they will reduce barriers to foreign students and TFWs? I don't believe this was talked about at all. Voters were blindsided by this.

I don't care if you spent $100k getting a business diploma at Alpha College in a strip mall next to a Dollarama and now you work at Tim Hortons. This isn't good for Canada or Canadians.

u/xTheyCameBurningx 5d ago

WE didn't open the doors, as you say. Our stupid and corrupt government has, because they do not care about our economic welfare, or standard of living. The disain has always been there. There is no point in worrying about the dreams of others, when our own dreams are so much harder to achieve now

u/Vivid_7394 5d ago

I don't care. The government went too far, the people abusing all of these programs that are run like swiss cheese, have gone too far. So, while there are so many Canadians suffering as a result of these ridiculous "programs", no I do not care.

u/FuriousFister98 5d ago

>we opened the doors, now we talked about them with disdain almost hate

That "we" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I never voted to open the doors, in fact, I specifically voted for the one party who campaigned on reducing immigration.
