It is only easy if you are a Canadian or has live and work in Canada for a long time, Canadian employers are very discriminative against foreigners, I am an international students myself and I find it is so difficult to get even an interview despite my very good GPA while my canadian friends get multiple job offers before graduation and can pick and choose what they want. And it is not easy to become a PR in Canada, the backlog is now more than 8 years!!!!, it is worst than the US, I hate it when Candian tell me it is so easy to become a PR here, only those who went through the system know how difficult and discriminative it is, there are many people become PR in Canada every year but those are people who have waited 8, 10 or even 15 years, hundred thousands more are in the queue, nobody wants to live in uncertainty for such a long time:
