Canadian immigration appears less evil to me but also a heck lot more incompetent and confusing to deal with

(I’ve actually never figured out how to get a work visa to Canada and I’ve figured it out for most countries. Like even the How to Apply page is.. vague. And I’m a native English speaker with international immigration experience. I think you’re supposed to use an agent, most of the time, but I refuse. Anyway, that’s not on the cards anymore and I would die in the cold)

@skinnylatte I’m _british_ and when I looked at it couldn’t figure out if i would even be eligible even when I figured out what I’d be applying for
@skinnylatte the rules are also sometimes different depending on the province… which is nonsensical
