Re: Old-Timers need not apply

Part of it is we're suffering from the same "Baby Boom" population problem the rest of the western world is suffering from, and they are nearing retirement, and it's going to put a massive strain on our pension system.

It's unfortunate you're caught up in it, but the last thing the government wants is older people coming in, working a few years, getting citizenship, then claiming the old age pension they would be entitled too.

Yeah it sucks, but what could they do?
