We Should All Move To Canada
Published by Gareth on June 24th, 2008 in Canada immigration, General, News
Recently I read an article by Toronto journalist and author, Joe Clark called The Web is like Canada. The article touches on the paradigm and similarities that the web and Canada have to each other. Mr. Clark states: “like the web Canada defines itself by what it is not”.
“Only Canadians could assert themselves by explaining what they aren’t. Even the West and East Germans; the North and South Koreans; the New Zealanders and the Australians; the Scottish, the Welsh, the Irish, the Northern Irish, and the British; or the Walloons and the Flemish – all identifiable in relation to someone else – don’t take definition by negation to such lengths”.
I thought how right Clark is. We hear very little of Canada and when we do hear about them they are either “requesting” (I use the word request and not need for good reasons) for skilled immigrants, or on its picturesque perfection and maybe sometimes if we are lucky we may hear a bit on sporting events.
But generally we hear very little of this diverse country and its inhabitants and yet many desire to move to there. Canada has become almost like a myth, it exist only when you want to get to it but it somehow manages to remain in hibernation until its needed to come out to make some announcement to the world or defend itself from Americans.
Let’s take a look at what is happening in the world at the moment, politically (US presidential candidates elections), socially (earthquakes in China and famine in Ethiopia) and economically (mortgage crashes and economic downfalls of the super-powers (America and UK)). Why have we not heard anything from the world’s biggest immigration country? Could Canada be so perfect as to not get affected by the rest of foreign policies and market crashes? Is it so invincible?
Every year millions of UK immigrants flock to this country for a better lifestyle. Canada is truly Zion. Is this the reason we should all move to Canada because its so kept itself away from all the chaos of the world?
This wonderland seems unattainable yet it is. Even though Canada and its inhabitants live in a bubble, we do know Canada has opened its borders to the world, housing refugees or opening up for students and workers. Clark states that Canada is struggling to find its own identity yet Canada has a solid reputation internationally making it the Hallmark of the world. I couldn’t agree.
Maybe I’ll ask the boss to move me to our www.globalvisas.ca offices! (TM)

I agree with the article above, I am Canadian and I am here in the UK and I usually ask myself ” why am I here”? Things are certainly easier but not perfect but I reckon much much better than here. By the way Canada has the largest internet usage in the world.

it says your CSIC members but your not on CSIC website of registered members why?

CSIC - why are we not on the site? Good question and thanks for picking up on it. We are going to find out. I can confirm though we are members and we will call John Ryan the Chair of CSIC to get the webiste listing sorted.
Again, thanks for giving us the heads up.

Hi all! Me and my husband are very proud to announce to our family members and friends that we are moving to Canada (shall I say, ‘Wonderland?’). It is indeed a wonderful place to live and be happy for ever and ever. People there are incredibly nice and kind.
We look forward to get a positive answer from Global Visas in UK in regards to our Visa application.
For those who are foreign thinking to live in Canada, the best of luck! Besides all documents, emails and phone calls that need to be done, be patient. And don’t worry, Global Visas will take care of everything. Moreover: they will be there whenever you need!
Best regards and thank you for reading my opinion! R&N
