I live in a South American country suffering an internal armed conflict, and this is one of the main reasons for the immigration, it does not affects me directly though but I do not see a good future for me being here.
I work for a USA company where all employees work remotely. They have tried to help me but they can not offer me a Visa for Canada, maybe for the USA but I would not feel safe there being an immigrant.
People around me tell me all the time that I am smart, that I should be working at Google, I laugh every time but decided to try it. I have been interviewed by good companies during the last months with (generally) good results, they declined their offers after I told them about my situation. And most of the companies that interviewed me can not hire a foreigner anyway (SpaceX is an example) so I do not blame them, but this is a proof that I am losing opportunities in life to keep progressing while living in this country.
I have this idea that human life is based on goals, people without goals lose their desire to live. I am not talking about suicide, in most cases they just sink in a mental state and stop progress, they just wake up, eat, work, sleep, and repeat. And this is what I do every day of my life; I do not have friends, nor a girlfriend, I only go out to pay the bills and buy food; I am basically starting to lose my goals in life.
What would you do if you were me?
[1] Three documents (ID, Birth Cert, University Degree) were not original according to them, I sent copies authenticated by a local Canadian lawyer because I needed them here, it took them twenty months to reject the application so fortunately I did not send the originals. [2] Profile was not good enough for a skilled working according to them.
