Thanks, Hack&Lube. It has been a long time since I looked it up, and I didn't realize it had been shutdown. My appolgies.

Essentially, it was a collection of stories from immigrants who had negative experiences after immigrating to Canada. Some had legitimate grievences, while others simply did not research Canada well enough, and were consequently disappointed with the country (ie: weather).

There were accusations that "imigration recruiters" were preying upong people immigrating to Canada. They would hire these firms to simplify the process for them (papers, etc), but in the end the process would be much more difficult and expensive than what they were lead to belive.

One beef that many immigrants had (and I agree with them) was when professionals (engineers, doctors etc) did not realize (or realize how much it would cost) to certify their credentials to Canadian standards. Apparently it is quite expensive to undertake the recertitifcation process and examinations. While I agree it's important to ensure that these skills are legitimate and up to our standards, the process shouldn't be hellish, and it shouldn't result in doctors working as janitors, and engineers working as mechanics.

It was a sad combination of naiivity and poor research that often lead to alot of these negative outcomes.
