Absolutely not, actually. Not for first generation applicants anyway.
Familial immigration is a whole other story but don't confuse it with the hoops you have to jump through as a skilled worker.
Congratulations Kristina, that's great news :)
Just so you know though, it is actually 2 years from PR to Citizenship if you have lived here over 2 years prior :)

thank you babe! I thought it's 2 years too, and everywhere it says 2 years, but the officer on the border said I can apply next feb! I will check with the immigration helpline as it get closer to 2010 :)
kotsy - I'm actually not from States :) I moved here from Cyprus (a tiny speck of dust in Mediterranean), but I'm originally from Ukraine :) |

Kristina,
Congratulations! I am so happy for you ;-)
My parents applied for immigration about 20 years ago, and only 3 years ago I officially became a permanent resident. Canada is not that soft on lol
I do have to say though that compared to US, Canada is more flexible! I went to uni in the States for 5 years, and the only way for me to become a PR was either marry someone or find a job that would sponsor me. It's a lot of paperwork and hassle, and not too many employers really want to deal with it!
Back to the thread, Kristina, let me know if you will be doing any celebrations soon, I would love to catch up xoxo babe |

| yeah, i think if you move to small towns it's much easier to get PR and citizenship. because everyone wants to come to toronto, it gets much harder. |
