I have only 2 cents to contribute, not a cent more, not a cent less ;-)

My2Cents:
As required by this position, i donot have Candian experience in commercial buildings nor the inclination to learn that field. One of the reason is b'cos of additional tension if i go to that field with responsibilites, mistakes, additional work etc...
I already have a 5 yr. degree and 10 years of experience. At this age , i canot and donot want to study/ upgrade myself, when the result will be more tension (atleast myself). Our office offered to give us a chance to upgrade ourselves for the job with studying for Canadian Architect registration (just fake experience letters and nothing else) but at our cost and hard work after office hours, but we refused. 3 of us were offered that, 2 told straight on the face (incl. me) that we will not do that, 1 agreed but backed out now. This upgradation takes a lot of money and is not worth the return that it can give.
As desi's we always look for returns with the minimum possible effort and i am one of those guys. I prefer on the job training (the yway we learnt in India but this is not possible in my office and / or Canada)
if you see my side note, we have to kick out an architect inorder to recruit the person that i have advertised for . So it takes lot of skills, study, creativity, hardwork to get a 55K job (that is what the other architect is getting). He is in Canada for 10 years and spend 10's of thousand on his registration. I donot not have the creativity and i am esp. not at all willing to take that job in my office.
