One note on the OP is that the NRMP doesn't use Gale-Shapley, it actually uses the Roth-Peranson algorithm which is a slight modification of the original Gale-Shapley one.

I think you might need to update your "About" section. That's the only part that's visible to non-admins.

Thank you for putting me onto ARC. It seems that it was only finalized in 2019? Perhaps that might be why they might not be as informed of it. If one was to go about guiding the university on this, is there a place for me to start looking into this? From my current understanding, ARC signing requires an intermediary server? Is there a list of open source software that enables this?

Hello fellow SFU alumnus! This news has utterly disappointed me as well. I'm motivated enough about it to raise a stink. Feel free to DM me if you're down for an uphill battle.

I actually worked in IT Services a during my time at SFU and all I can say is that,the upper management were more career executives than people motivated by actually helping. As such, it came as no surprise that they took the easy way out.

Yes. The immigration system in the US is complicated. There's a diversity quota based on the nation you were born in and there's a lottery involved. The other way is the Employment-Based Green Card.

For a person like the OP who is of Indian origin, they are unable to go through the diversity based lottery and have to go through the employment based one. Depending on the subcategory you apply in, your wait times could be as long as 10 years.

On a personal note, my opinion is that the US immigration also places too much importance on the nation of origin. In my case for example, I've spent over 20 years of my life in Canada and am a Canadian Citizen, but if I wanted to immigrate to the US, my nation of origin (where I was born) would be the deciding factor on what category I could apply to.
