How were you able to have "express entry"? (my parents did it and it took my family about 5 years to receive the PR - we did it from Abu Dhabi)

The software job market is Canada is kinda terrible (I am a recent graduate looking for a job - not to mention the salaries in Canada can't compete with those in US)

The express entry program was introduced only last year by the Canadian Govt. They promised to make a decision within 6 months. Previous to that, it did take years of waiting.

The Canadian Job market is pretty tough.

There's a lot of startup activity in Montreal, and costs are cheaper than Vancouver or Toronto.

I got PR under the old FSW system in just over 12 months (applied in 2014).

Never stepped foot in Canada before then. Now I can stay here forever.

Citizenship after just 3 years.
