You either let people in or not?

Most countries have a graduated immigration system - you start with a work visa, you try and get permanent residence, then try for citizenship.

The US isn’t alone in this except for maybe the fact that the demand to immigrate to the US far outstrips the limits.

Is there any other country where the waiting time to go from a work visa to a permanent residency exceeds 15+ years for citizens of certain countries even after the petition is approved?
