I decided to immigarte to Canada in 1997-98 having heard from numerous people (about Canada Australia and NZ) as :
Even if you know how to handle a mouse, you will be given job as a software engineer
The dole (Social security) is enough for beer, apartment rent, eating outside, car, TV, visit to India every year+ $1000 savings every 3 months.
Schools, Library, day care is free
If you are unemployed, you will get various things free , like free Milk and Burgers in MacDonalds etc....
However, after immigrating to Canada I found all things false and that the only jobs that were available to us was the left over jobs by the cdn. locals (except IT, Accounting and Finance).
I was under the impression that I was wrong until I read this article from the Toronto star today :

I quote :
Alloy, 63, said he immigrated to Canada from Jamaica in 1969. He is married with a daughter and holds bachelor degrees in commerce and tourism, and a real estate licence. He has no formal legal training.
In 1990, he said, he was offered a position as a justice of the peace as a political favour after campaigning for a successful Ontario Legislature candidate.
"A presiding position came up and I didn't apply," Chang Alloy said. "Somebody asked me if I was interested. I said, `Does it mean more money?'
Public records show that Chang Alloy made $178,000 last year as a justice of the peace while continuing to work as a real estate agent.
End of quote from the Toronto star
Looks like those who informed me about the benefits of immigration were not totally wrong , as I had belived.

And you believed them? ..seriously? I'm at loss of words here....
I feel competition as well as working hours in IT are lesser here then in India.

Fido.
Quote:I wonder what the job posting for a "Justice of Peace" looks like
Ontario's 325 justices of the peace preside over virtually all bail hearings and most criminal remand courts, and perform other functions.

Since 1992, seven have faced disciplinary hearings. Three cases resulted in a removal recommendations, of which one is being appealed. Two resulted in other types of penalties. In two cases, complaints were not established.
