This is a huge deal to me! I worked so hard to achieve this. It's a common misconception that Canadian immigration is easy and they "let anyone in". The process was long and difficult; I didn't even get full marks on my English language exam and I'm a Brit!
To any Canadians reading this, I've always loved your country and cannot wait to call it home.
(The nice shirt and pin are sadly not part of the government welcome package)

Hats off to you -- not literally of course as you're now part of our hat and we wouldn't want you thrown off and drowning in the ocean!

Remember, in the UK you drive on the left side of the road. Here in Canada we drive on whats left of the road.

Apparently I don’t know how to English...
Blellushka
How did you pass the test?!
ohthesnowmanity
I haven’t taken it yet but there’s a PDF online they provide that has all the topics of Canadian government, law, (1/2)
ohthesnowmanity
founding, etc that they test you on. Study that and they also have like 150 test questions that you can do over and over. (2/2)

Welcome. Nice country, eh?
existentialcrisis1989
I recently got PR in Canada. I've migrated here exactly two months ago. Loving it here. Now I need to find a job.
MlCE
Most employers require "Canadian experience" so you may have to get an entry level job and Canadian education for credentials.
existentialcrisis1989
Yeah I believe so. I am applying for entry level positions even though I have 4 years of experience as a software developer.
MlCE
Unless youre from the US or other western countries that have Canadian equivalent or better.
RedIronCrown
That's pretty quick PR, did you go through a refugee program?
existentialcrisis1989
Oh sorry let me explain. I applied 14 months ago . It was a long process. What I got recently is the confirmation of PR.
existentialcrisis1989
And I landed here two months ago.
RedIronCrown
Ah that makes much more sense, thanks for clarifying. And welcome to the best country!
existentialcrisis1989
Thank you so much. I'm loving it here. People are so polite and nice to each other.

TheBigCringe22
Now see I was born Canadian living in Massachusetts, want dual citizenship? ;)
soejmud
Is that even legal? Well, if it's only for that, I mean. Know that'd be rather shifty in my country.
Crytek117
What if I'm already a citizen?
Blellushka
Then you get that nice UK passport! Though not sure what that'll gain ya post-Brexit
Crytek117
Never hurts for traveling though :)
palonewabone
Just tell them you speak The Peaky Fucking Blinders English.

Do you have any tips? My fiance and I are looking to move to Canada once we graduate. We live in the states though.

Ilikestyx
Congrats and welcome! I've got a friend from England who didn't get his PR the first time because he couldn't prove he speaks English...
SilverNicktail
How the hell? I did that test. For a native English speaker it's an absolute doddle.
ToastDNA
He would have made it into america.
AprilHamLincon
Our English-literature professor, 4th generation born and raised New-Yorker, chief editor for "English Linguistics", failed that exam twice.
Corrodias
That tells me the test is poorly made.
Kitbash
That's hilarious, hope he saw the funny side of it
Ilikestyx
Unfortunately he's quite anti-immigrant, so as a white English speaking male, he couldn't fathom an issue like this happening to him.
PlutoIsMyHomeboy
H...how? Hypocrite, or just racist?
Ilikestyx
Sadly he's racist. He's a Brit who loves Brexit and thinks most immigrants are just trying to leech off the system and be terrorists.
Cheomesh
He'd fit right in over here in America.
FluentPenguin
Sorry if I’ve picked this up wrong but... is your friend who’s against immigration immigrating?
Ilikestyx
lol yes. But he's white, and speaks English and isn't Muslim and has an education. He feels he should pretty much be handed citizenship.
Deadpoolio7
Canadamn he sounds like an arsehole
YouAreNotARobot
Your friend is a racist, not anti-immigrant.
FluentPenguin
Your friend needs more education bruh
Davros876
Guy I know hates migrants who come here for a better life. His mum lives in Spain because of the nice weather and she speaks zero Spanish...
leeooq
Was he from Wales?
Ilikestyx
from Tamworth.
GenerallyKenobi
Bruh, Wales isn't in England
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
Wales isn't in England, correct, however neither Wales or England are the country. Great Britain is the country.
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
A lot of people get mixed up with that, I understand it's probably not even relevant but hey, I'm here to educate
flammenpanzer
Not true. England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom are countries. Great Britain is an island
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
Great Britain is officially a recognised country, United Kingdom is kinda weird, it's a grouping but not a country. Proof? 1/
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
England, Wales and Scotland are provinces. We all hold a GB passport
