What is Canadian Experience? Immigrants Puzzle!
By:

Many new arrivals to Canada and Toronto in particular discover that they cannot get an IT job as soon as they arrive - no matter their level of skill or experience. The reasons given usually center around language skills and lack of "Canadian experience".

What is Canadian experience?

Canadian experience usually means having experience interacting with people in the context of the culture found in Canada. Every culture is different. For instance, relationships between supervisors and sub-ordinates vary from culture to culture; and country to country. And Toronto is the most cultural diverse city in the world!

How can I get Canadian experience without a Canadian job?

Getting Canadian experience without a job:
Volunteer. Volunteering for a charitable or cultural organization will help you to get Canadian experience and references.

There are many charitable and cultural organizations in Toronto and across Canada that need volunteers.

When you volunteer you are working. And you have someone that you will report to - a supervisor. You work with other people - usually in English.

The end result is that you gain Canadian experience. Experience that provides you with practical experience about the culture. Practical experience in speaking English and learning the local idiom, expressions, etc. And you gain References - from the person or persons that supervized you; and the people that you work with.

How do I find a charitable organization?
There are a number of groups in Toronto that can direct you to charitable organizations that need your help and in turn can help you to gain Canadian experience.

The Possibilities Project is a great place to start looking. http://www.possibilitiesproject.com/

I applied sometime in May. They called me in June and asked me to come for "interview" in end August. I waited for about 2 months for the "interview." I went for "interview" and the counsellor said my English level was fine and she accepted me into the program. The program is I can apply for jobs listed on their site that is not open to general public. So the real interview would be done by employer. Unfortunately there is no job posting to which I qualify. Most of the jobs are managerial in nature or software programming related.

What is Canadian Experience?
Do we have American experience, jamaican experience, Indian experience, or Srilankan Experience or Pakistani experience. What is so special about Canadian experience.........

Well this is all well fabricated conspiracy to keep prospective job seekers from Canadian cream job openings. It clearly depicts the fact that Canada needs Pizza delivery boys, fork lift drivers, truck drivers, labours and cheap staff... whichcould bring some stability in Canadian drooling population and shortage of staff everywhere...

So Indian govt. needs to send one million educated people to Canada to make sure that Canadian govt is happy, never mind we spend billions on educating them to speak english to work for tim hortons and dominos.

Dr. Man Mohan singhji, you address this issue well and help our Canadian population....

This is not a negative stuff.... but one day this issue is going to make a dent in high dreamers.

How come people from Korea, Hong Kong or Romania dont work in factories while we have to? Because all these people bring money with them, they arrive and relax, upgrade their skills develop networks and then land a good job after a year or so.

Hi,

Dont think that I am trying to be racist or so...

If you compare the skill set of Indians with those Romanians and East Europeans ...Indians really standout having better English skills and Technical abilities.

They still find it difficult to get acceptance....becoz of cultural and color difference......

East Europeans succeed here not becoz they upgrade their skills or networking......WHITE SKIN color is accepted here.......Have you ever seen White Guys.....unemployed ...wandering for jobs ???????

Please take it in the right sense as this is the "REALITY"
