I did not enjoy your contribution to the Freakonomics episode. You sounded like one of many entitled H1B failures who decided to settle in Toronto and start spewing complaints about the system that graciously took you in --- which is funny, as you proceed with saying "I've got mine, so keep those immigrants after me away from Canada." Your comment does not embody the openness that Canada represents, and your stance has no place in Canada.
Given that I spend my leisure time raising awareness on immigration in Canada with the precisely opposite objective, it would appear that there has been a misunderstanding.
I am extremely proud of being in Canada and I try hard through posts on LinkedIn and through this newsletter to present a factual and balanced picture of both the immigration system as well as what I think is a wonderful opportunity for immigrants across the board and not just in the US.
The fact that Canada is open and welcoming is something I celebrate and want to be a part of.
It’s unfortunate that what you took away seems contrary to my stance and I hope reading the newsletter will convince you otherwise.
But I’m in complete agreement with you that immigration to Canada must be as open and free as possible while creating pathways for success for immigrants that DO come here. To which there are currently serious barriers. I speak to people on a regular basis who are saddened by their choice and that is an unfortunate outcome for all involved.
I must strenuously protest the “I’ve got mine…” characterization of my participation in the podcast. That is not my stance AT ALL, as my newsletter and LinkedIn posts clearly demonstrate.
Why would a person who doesn’t want immigrants here spend their free time creating resources to help people move and doing free consults?
