My writing/creative energies are being consumed these days with a report for work. For some reason, the writing process is not flowing as it should, and usually does, hence this link today. In any case, please check out this story, which is a stellar piece of journalism and an instructive report on why skilled immigrants are having trouble living and working in Canada. I experienced a bit of this myself when I was trying to live and work in the States. No matter where you are, it is always a bureaucratic nightmare, some countries are just easier than others, I guess. But it never feels quite right to be regarded as a number or a file waiting to work its way to some person who may or may not approve your request. Have a wonderful day!
