If you were an immigration officer, would take the same position taken by this one?

Question

am braziIian but as it is very difficult to find a job here I wanted to go to Canada.
I spent over three years looking hard for a job in Canada through the internet. I studied a lot about the Country. It was very hard but I found a job approved by HRSDC, in February of this year, to work in Edmonton, Alberta.
I submitted all required documentation to the canadian consulate but the immigration officer refused my work permit. He said that I do not have strong economic ties to my country.
Is it not "prejudice"? Is the opportunities only for richies"?
I tried to go legally but what was the advantage of doing that legally?
Is not an unemployed a human?

I had employer and place to stay in Canada and I did everything within the law.


If you were an immigration officer would take the same position?

"I am Brazilian"

Answer 1

Yes! Because I've a boss. Another officer higher than me!
My Contry (Canada) needs a lot of money. You're just a number in 3th world. Please sing "Let me try again" and back to pay...

Answer 2

I would say given the low quota that Canadian policy allows in each year it doesn't surprise me. Sufficient applicants means they can pick and choose. First pick is those who have relatives in the country.

Given we have an aging population we don't let in near enough. More people are retiring and not enough people to replace them. It's going to hit the fan very, very soon.

Answer 3

Something is wrong. If you already had the job in hand and you applied to be an immigrant a visa is almost automatic. Are you sure there is not more to this story?? Did you appeal??

Answer 4

You should appeal it since you are looking for a work permit. It may not be racism but could be other prejudicial stuff

Answer 5

This question was asked & answered a week ago, and YES!!
