Singaporean here. The government's mainly effective for tasks that are on a happy path. If your particular case falls through the cracks, it often takes phone calls, printing, postage, and weeks or months of waiting to get stuff done.

(Personal experience trying to get business stuff done not as a Private Limited company.)

That sounds like the happy path for dealing with the Canadian government. Well, except the months part.

sounds like lots of govt. and corporate interaction in the US.
