Hello Sarah123,
Well, let me make things more clear from my point of view. There is no doubt that the, international organizations around the world have ranked Canada as best place on earth to live in for the last 5 years.

But in my opinion it is for those who were born and bread in Canada not for new immigrants. Wherever you go for a job in Canada employers keep asking for Canadian credentials!! I don't know where a fresh landed immigrant would have Canadian credentials!! and you end up working as Pizza delivery, taxi driver, office boy....etc.

Canadian TAX system gives hard time to all people in Canada. Needles to comment that salaries in Canada are much less then USA. Opportunities in USA are 10 times more than Canada.

Canada has been adopting huge immigration program since more than 25 years, yet they are still hungry for people, do you know why? coz more than 60% of landed immigrants leave Canada in the first year and their first destination not home country USA for sure and this a huge problem for Canada. Canada suffers from brain drainage to USA. To add more, immigration process to Canada now, takes more than 6 years in most of their embassies around the world. In cities like Delhi, Moscow, Damascus, it takes even 8 years!!!

Comparing the process of doing Canadian and American pharmacists equivalence's exams, I think Canadian ones are really harder and lengthy. I heard people who have been in this process for 5 YEARS!! especially that exam which is like a personal interview!!

If you are not rich, Canada is not for you. like some citizens from some countries who sell their homes for 5 million dollars then go to Canada and buy a house costs 1 million and put the rest of their money in a Canadian bank then live and enjoy the best country in the world.

Just my point of view with best luck to all.
