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.

The upside is that they are just so much smarter than we are. Think of
their stands on fiscal responsibility, health care (not perfect, but a
lot better than ours), guns, abortion, the environment, religion in
government, etc. I think it must be global warming creeping up and
cooking the brains of our southern brethren. I'm bummed that we could be
so stupid, selfish and shortsighted.

Quit whining, since you are obviously not part of the solution.

I sincerely hope you have enough "points" to make it to Canada.

I'd be happy to donate my points for you Jeff. I get 67 points for being
the right age...plus I'm a skilled worker in a field they are looking for,
*and* I'm an entrepreneur. How many points would you like?
