I know programing sciences is in demand as are engineers but i dont know the full list of stuff that is considered a skill shortage that they are looking for lol. Math proffessor may or may not be no idea tbh Anyway ppl without any special skills manage to get in too. Its just harder and longer cuz ur not given priority We have a points system. The higher ur points in application the greater the chances of approval or shortened waiting list. I know career and education set is a major component in points system along with age as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothicdream 39,660 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Pardon me if this is a dumb question. But I still don't understand why more places aren't becoming urbanized with increasing populations and immigration. Canada, and the US, have so much open rural space. Everyone congregates in the bigger cities because that's where most of the jobs are, and then the job market is extremely competitive and the housing market booms to the point that many people can't afford to buy. Like... why can't we just spread out? We need companies to start diversifying their locations, especially with telecommunication and remote work being so standard now. There's no reason someone like Amazon needs 75,000 people in one HQ in Seattle when most of those people will never even work together and, if they do, it's often email / video call anyway. I understand there are perks to living in a city (nightlife, restaurants, etc.) so that can help with recruiting efforts. But that's not what every single person wants. If we could move to the middle of nowhere I would do it in a heartbeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well many governments encourage density for economic efficiencies as well as environmental reasons (higher density means less land destroyed or used up in sprawl for habitation) Tho tbh i find the environemtal reasons a little... I dunno. Humans use up a very tiny percentage of the land. Its not even remotely one of the biggest reasons for the environemtal problems we have Between high greenhouse emissions, destructive farming practices that leech soils with chemicals and sometimes ruins them to the point its unusable and they gotta move on to farming in another large region... Large deforestation for resources whether its the wood itself or for stuff like mining... Dense cities vs a little sprawl, the impact that might have pails in comparison to the other big habits we have (in terms of land used up, but then u have to factor in that sprawl also causes more emissions cuz if longer transportation so to be fair theres also that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMF 3,684 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Great, now the housing market will be stretched even more and the average Canadian is already struggling to find affordable housing. I’m all in favour of migration but this isn’t about refugees or asylum seekers, it’s bringing people with deep pockets from other countries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
