They don't take everyone, that's for sure. It's expensive to get in
(lots of application fees) Takes a long time, and they won't take you if
you have any kind of criminal record or severe health problem. You need
67 points, which you get for being between 21 and 49, and you lose them
for being outside that range. You gain them for education, speaking
French or English, having Canadian relatives and some other reasons.

You have to either be a skilled worker in a field they are looking for,
an entrepreneur, or an investor. The last two categories mean you need
to have hundreds of thousands of $$$ to bring to Canada.

We should have a similar "weighting" system when people try to
immigrate here. But the liberals would have a fit and claim that we
are being "discriminatory"...
