Actually, preference by job skills is also given for immigrant visas that allow permanent residence in the USA:
US Embassy wrote:An immigrant visa is required of anyone who wishes to enter the United States to reside there permanently, whether or not that person plans to seek employment in the United States.
In general any applicant for an immigrant visa must be the beneficiary of an approved petition. Certain applicants such as priority workers (link) , investors, and diversity immigrants can petition on their behalf. All other intending immigrants must have a relative or potential employer petition for them.

Apparently, consistancy in naming is no longer required. And people wonder why it's such a fucking mess.

Not really. What goes on on the southern US border is not something most Canadians really pay much attention to anyway.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
I've actually known some Mexican immigrants here in Canada, and it's hard for them to be here. It's not like hopping the border into California, Texas, or Arizona. There isn't a large slave-wage infrastructure built for them here, and they're very far from home. The isolation from their home culture and from their families back in Mexico tends to be quite difficult for them. I had a Mexican immigrant coworker who actually had some skills and education, but he still went back home because he just found it too difficult to live thousands of miles from Mexico, in a city where there's almost no Mexican community and the ambient temperature dips below -20C in winter.
