Yeah it's still my dream to go to N-America, I have to say that Canada is much more open to immigrants as the US, that's very positive of your governement. I hope your new PM won't change the current immigration policy.
Right now I'm at the Uni... two more years until I have my bachelors degree.
After that, I have to get some work experience in order to meet the demands for Canadian permanent residency and to be able to pay for my graduate studies. I plan on working for about 3 years.
So in all it should be about 4-5 years before I apply for a residence permit... long term plans, I know...
