Cindʎ Xiao 🍉@hacks4pancakes I find that a lot of Canadians are pretty ignorant about our immigration system and barely know the difference between a work permit and permanent residence. That said though, for any infosec workers who are American citizens: it may be easier to get a visa / permanent residence than you think. The Canadian immigration system still overwhelmingly favours "skilled" workers, and the recent immigration cuts specifically target international students and temporary foreign workers.
For any other Canadians reading this thread: check out the Migrant Rights Network as a great org doing work to educate people about our immigration system, to combat anti-immigrant rhetoric in Canada, and to advocate for "unskilled" workers.
