If you're white, have a tertiary education, and at least $1M US of assets to your name to prove that you won't be a burden to the country, then the door's wide open.

If you're white, young (<35), with a tertiary education, and have at least $250K US worth of liquid assets, you too can walk right in.

If you're not white but have over about $4M US of assets, you too can walk in with red-carpet treatment.

If you have a tertiary education in some technical/medical field, getting in won't be too hard, but not as easy as above.

All else need to fight with the general masses/boat people.

I reserve comment on my view of the US election result as vehement outburts liberally laced with expletives tends to offend...
