Looking for a band of gold or are you just a golf buff?
...Okay, I now see you're referring to a hockey guy I'd never heard of. I thought you were referring to a 1950s-famous pop singer and golfer of that name whom I was under the impression was a True North.

We aim those laws at everyone, not just our neighbour!
people from some middle eastern nations such as pakistan and india seem, per your laws, to have an easier time of it, like not being required to show proof of a business plan/$800k free-and-clear assets, not having to have blood relations in-country.
I don’t know of any requirements such as having 800k. There are different categories for immigrants, but the only category that might relate to the country you are emigrating from is the refugee program. There are family reunification programmes, but there are other options such as being a skilled worker.
the $800k is definitely one of the requirements along with key university-level skills [being a mechanic or a plumber/electrician is not enough, they're talking RN, dentist, doctor, lawyer, engineer, microsofty and the like]. these requirements were added in late 1981, previous to that, most americans were welcome up there. several thousand [approximate] americans were turned away at the border when they tried to eu
nter for the last winter olympics up there, because they had things like speeding tickets on their record.
Roughly 8 years after A Certain War was no longer an issue!

we did saddle them with another 50k people, i imagine any other country might have done similar. australia and NZ and england got their share of our draft dodgers as well.

hmmmm, last time i checked was a year ago. something tells me that there is a "demographic retirement crisis" happening up there now and they need more rank and file workers now. thank you for the heads-up
even though as an aspie my chances are still poor.
