General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Pals of mine emigrated to Canada a few years ago. They had to learn everything canadian to be accepted, and have waited years to be accepted as canadian officially.
When they attended one of the various inductions a 'British ethnic' asked the fella in charge what he would get if he lost his job. The guy replied "a free ticket back to uk" WELL DONE CANADA!
My pals needed employment, sponsors and had to fit certain criteria to get to Canada, they also needed a lump sum of money to ensure they could support themselves. They had already bought property out there , but that didn't guarantee them a way in.
I think we could learn some lessons from Canada, and start handing out some free plane tickets.
