The movie has several logical inconsistencies.
First, the heroine goes abroad to study, supported by her father's savings. Yet later, her family, planning to join her, is shown living in a well-maintained house with a courtyard, contradicting their earlier financial struggles.
Second, the heroine is worried about second-semester tuition. This is unrealistic because Canadian study permits require one year of tuition paid upfront and a CAD 10,000 GIC. Tuition installment payments aren't typical in Canada.
Third, the hero and heroine arrive together in Canada, and the hero finds a job immediately at a Filipino-owned restaurant. This oversimplifies the challenges of job hunting for newcomers and ignores immigration realities. Couples rarely immigrate together unless on special permits, and finding work so quickly is highly unlikely.
Fourth, the male protagonist being insulted after bumping into someone exaggerates cultural biases. Such confrontations are uncommon in Canada.
Fifth, the film oversimplifies getting permanent residency (PR). PR in Ontario requires high language scores, skilled job experience, or a provincial nomination-none of which are shown. The hero's work permit extension also hinges on the heroine securing a skilled job, which the film ignores.
Sixth, the heroine's workplace scene, where she negotiates a financial deal and casually video chats with her mother, feels unrealistic and unprofessional.
Finally, family sponsorship after PR is simplified, ignoring income requirements. The heroine's delayed car purchase and surprise reveal also seem unrealistic, as cars in Canada are affordable and such decisions usually involve discussion. The hero's sudden shift change due to illness is another improbability, as workplace flexibility isn't that simple. Moreover, his health concerns could have been handled with free healthcare through an Ontario health card.
The film downplays the difficulties of immigrating to Canada. Many immigrants face years of hard work, low-paying jobs, and strict PR requirements. Despite its flaws, the movie is enjoyable but far from realistic.
