you had in mind, don't bother. Unless you are a "sandwich artist", or an expert at shaking people down for money at a call-centre. Its been bleak for years.

Employment interference is rampant in Canada. From the RCMP, CSIS or their friends we have a very "centralized" economy, if you were looking for a free market, Canada would not be your first choice; in fact, it might be one of your last choices. Just be aware that someone who shouldn't have a say has their fingers in every worthwhile employment pie (and political for that matter) in this country. There is a reason we are the least efficient economy in the G7 and have projected growth for the next decade lagging all of these nations and greatly lagging our historic numbers and dare I say our potential.

Hey, where are my manners. Come on over as long as you go through the regular process (no sneaking over please). Welcome to Canada!

And if they don't want to come in through the regular process, they can stay the hell out.
