Happy Canada Day!

[kevyn]

With a very hearty appreciation for our next door neighbours: CANADA!

Thank you for making this continent and this culture much more interesting. We aren't always the easiest elephant to share a bed with, but the U.S.A. needs Canada as an exemplar of how to be a civilized nation. Thank you.

I'm working on it. It's the primary reason I went back to school to get my degree, so Canada would hire me.

And yes, living here along the southern border of BC, I know that it's good to be British Columbian!

So does Canada prefer immigrants with degrees?
I've got my BS in Mechanical Engineering.

Yup. Canada operates its immigration on a point system. You get points for a degree, more points for an advanced degree, points each for fluency in English and French, etc... but the big points-earner is having a firm job offer in Canada. Having the degree makes you more employable. Ask atldaddybear about that.
