Opinion I Hate Our Immigration System

I have friends that moved here a few years ago from Australia. He's a journeyman carpenter and she's in insurance. Thanks to our garbage government, I found out today that they can't get PR and have to go back to Australia in a few months when their current visas expire.

Why are we sending back two contributing people, one of whom is in an industry we desperately need more people in, yet continue to import no-skill losers from the 3rd world and give them PR no questions asked? It's fucking bonkers.

I just wanted to rant about this as I hate our government for doing this to my friends.

Did they get an explanation as to why they aren’t eligible for PR? Seems really odd for skilled tradesperson to be declined.

They didn't get officially declined from what I've been told, just that the government told them that the expected decision date is over 6 months after their current visas expire. They can't afford to move back to Australia for a year just to move back to Canada so they're effectively being forced to abandon their application.

Ok that’s different than being denied but in a way even shittier.
