So, you’ve been planning to immigrate to Canada for a long time and can’t wait to get your application rolling. Or, you have finally got your application approved and now are counting days to arrive into Canada.

And the websites are so depressing for a newcomer! You know, continuously shedding a negative light on the wonderful Immigrant experience that Canada offers. Well, this blog was never one of those, ha!

But, you must have noticed that unlike most paid services, the Canada Immigration system does not have an Acceptable Use Policy for an End User to blindly click OK so that you can enjoy the goods!

I’ve taken it upon myself to make one.

At first I thought I was reading some blog post and its comments by someone genetically superior in, say, Alberta or Manitoba, or some… er… right-minded journal like the National Post from Toronto. But then I realized I don’t read those and rubbed my eyes to see that it was indeed The Toronto Star.

In my research for successful famous ‘genuine’ immigrants in Canada, I have disappointingly discovered only a few names. But perhaps I should not be too surprised. After all, even to first-rate ‘regular’ Canadians, if you gotta make it big, you gotta move to the U.S.

My definition of ‘genuine’ are those who landed just like an independent skilled worker class immigrant and then achieved something worthy enough to be famous or notable with primarily their existing education and qualifications.
