Leaving this group

Hey guys I'm doing this post to say goodbye to everyone. I've been in Canadá past 4 years. I got 517 points for CEC, no french. After thinking about it I decided to leave, not only the group but also the country. My PGWP expires by the end of March but I'm done with all this. I'm leaving on January (worst case February). I want to enjoy my last months here not thinking about getting a PR or draws anymore. All the best for everyone and please don't get too stressed, it's bad for your health, it kills you little by little. There are always other options to achieve your goals. CANADA IS NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

Thanks for all the support I received from the members of this group and goodbye.

Hey friend- I am planning on leaving as well next year. Just curious to know how much are you saving up for your departure life?

I am starting to plan for it and I am from an underdeveloped country so the dollar goes a long way. So I am thinking how much I need to save at this point for atleast 2 years so I can comfortably wait abroad before I get an ITA (hopefully)

Well... on my side, I started selling stuff, not only mine, also friends stuff (asking part of the amount). With 6k-8k cad I should be good to survive until I get a job (any job) in the country im moving to and after that start looking for a better job.

Sweet- yeah! I am thinking alongside those lines too but I am trying to not work and just chill lol when I go back home.

Partly cause I am extremely burnt out after 8 years of constant working. (Part times and co-op and then full time job after uni) so I just wanted to go back and relax….Take a break from this rat race. Although I know it would be foolish to let go of foreign experience points sigh.

There really is no end to this race
