"Would-be immigrants to Canada can apply to become permanent resident, a
process that often takes a year."

Is that freakin' all? If someone does not offer to start a business and
create jobs, is there any country easier than that?

"Canada is one of the few major nations with an large-scale immigration
policy. Ottawa is seeking to attract between 220,000 and 240,000 newcomers
next year."

"Let's face it, we have a population of a little over 32 million and we
definitely need permanent residents to come to Canada," said Iadinardi. "If
we could meet (the 2005) target and go above it, the more the merrier."

Incredible. Someone needs to tell Japan the same.
