    with the utmost respect, what would a garda know about the canadian immigration process?

    Also, theres a lot of bad press over here about the influx of foreign workers (there's more news coming soon on that) taking canadian jobs.
    I don't see any thing coming soon that would make it easier for people to come over, if anything it will get more difficualt.

    Heard nothing about it . But highly doubt it relaxing visa requirements for people with convictions will happen .wouldnt make any sense

    exactly, id say its wishful thinking, its hard enough to get in there with no convictions never mind actually having a conviction and i don think a garda is in a position of knowledge or authority to comment on canadian immigration in fairness.
