I feel like this article is more about the dire job market of academia rather than immigration. Most PhDs do not have great job prospects even for those born in Canada and the reality is we train far too many due to the perverse incentives of graduation education (cheap labour for professors).

It's brutal. I don't answer any calls unless they're from someone I know. I probably get 10 spam calls for 1 real call these days.

I know it's kinda irreplaceable. I think I will stop mindless browsing Reddit but will still go there occasionally when I'm looking for specific advice.

I know the feeling.../r/Canada was and is an embarrassment. Everyone here seems reasonable so far and I really hope it stays that way.
