Comparing Canada to the US is like comparing apples to orange. We are a small nation compared to US:

Population of Canada: 32 Million
Population of USA: 298 Million
Population of Karachi: Unofficial figures: 18 – 20 Million.
Population of Mumbai: 12 Million.

Plus what the writer wrote is partially true. However if you work hard things came come to you. And this is a personal experience.
If you aim is strictly money then go to the US if it is a good family life then come to Canada.

The `serious steps` mentioned are way too 20th century!
1. This is the age of internet, if the potential immigrant makes a decision to come to Canada and has never heard of internet, better stay put where ever he/she is. Almost all the jobs, salary data, forums, help is available for a person to make an intelligent decision. If it is a push factor rather than a pull factor, do not blame Canada for it!

2. The Canadian are two steps ahead of this. There are zillions of settlement programs out there to help out new Canadians - the password is in `ENGLISH/FRENCH`.

3. Suuuuuuure! block out any hope left for `misinformed, i-did-not-know, stranger-in-a-strange-land` new Canadians.

4. I would not trust any professional not licensed by the government. I do no trust south asian, or for that matter, any developing country`s education credentials. Period.

5. Not worth even commenting on!

I wish this was digg and I could do a thumbs down on this.

I agree whole heartedly with #10 mhrizvi. I can quote myself as another example. I could not have said it better!

Cheers.

Debate is good.

Well Sama i have not been to Canada but i Belive what you have stated is absulotely Reight.
It is not only in Canada but in other Conuntries as Well, Even in Pakistan i saw many of the MBA`s selling Credit Cards and Bank Policies etc..! Some of the BS or MS are working as a Clerk in Some organizations.
the thing is not that Wall, and Holes , and these Things etc.... the main thing is to be at the Right Place and anyway by the end of the day it all Money which Talks!
