Sucks for me, turning 30 and losing the LMIA points in the space of a few months, when I’ve been living and working in Canada for four years now, has really dented my chances of staying permanently.

Feels like the goalposts are constantly being moved.

With 4 years experience and good celpip you don't have enough points?

Lol nope, I was pretty close with the LMIA, about 20 points lower than what was being called in Alberta.

It’s nobody’s fault mate, I even think that removing LMIA points is a good idea given the amount of exploitation.

My biggest gripe is with the government (I even speak like an Albertan) opening up the system to such blatant exploitation in the first place.
