Those who have never had to deal with Canada immigration think it's very, very easy - but it's far from it. Professionals and those with high levels of wealth are accepted first and foremost (especially those in industries where Canada needs help), and those who are married to Canadians (as it would be harmful to the social fabric to not allow married couples to exist with the same rights within Canada). The process is strict, long and costs money ($2500 plus you can't work in Canada while waiting for close to a year) and based on contribution to society. The fact that we have a fair, compassionate immigration system is to be lauded, not criticized.

Where do you get your information??? It costs $150 for a work permit. A canadian company just has to get permission from HRSDC...once a LMO is issued they can obtain their work permit. Right now the wait time is 6 weeks only because so many comapnies are trying to bring in foriegn workers.
