Maybe, eh?
We'd let you in, too. Canada likes when new people move in!

But when you get here the government will be an asshole and refuse to let you work in your actual profession. We'll make it insanely hard for you to get certified at ____ here, so you will be stuck driving a taxi for the foreseeable future.

(I've never really understood that. I mean, if someone is (for example) a doctor it's easier for them to move to Canada - but then we don't let them BE a doctor once they get here.)

And YOU do such a nice job reinforcing that one
Well, you know. I hope that if I talk about how nice we are that people won't notice that I'm not personally nice.
