I have a life experience to share.

I don't know if you would care.

In the last unforgettable year,

I applied for FSW/Federal Skilled Worker

Immigration Program in Canada.

Unfortunately,

I've already reached the said quota.

I was denied for my dream visa.

Though I was qualified to apply,

I was refused for two simple reasons:

"No current employer and Ph.D. degree."

My self-esteem got very low,

I didn't know what to do

Because I have nothing to show

To my friends who kept asking me.

So it's time to break my silence.

I told them what happened

And they have felt sorry for me.

My wife has lost her self-confidence

But I told her to never give up

Even though I was hurting inside.

On this coming May 4, 2013,

CIC offices will accept FSW applications.

Though I've the necessary qualifications,

I don't know if I will ever apply again

Because I still have the unbearable pain.
