I guess some people still want to make Canada their home when tons of immigrants are struggling here. I met lots of them at the Toronto Congress Centre Job Fair, and whatever Desi I met there have been struggling here for months and years. Majority get their Canada Passports and leave after 3 years. I am working at DBG as a "highly skilled labouer" and I see daily the sad faces of my fellow Desi's. Even they do not understand why these people want to come here and struggle when there is nothing here to excite them.

Here are excerpts from my labour friends :

(1) I have landed in Canada for at least over 6 months, I had been trying to find a job really hard, whatever I tried, people just trying to fool you around and treat you like a complete idiot without telling you anything .

Is it how it is in Canada as a new immigrant?!

I have tried going to HRDC, recruiters, straight forward to employers...etc. None of them give you any information , just simply humiliate you and laugh at you, they don't even take resume from you. I don't understand what this attitude is about.


(2) The Canadian HRDC programs are all crap just a bluff to new comers. Some of the people working in these offices are so dam ignorant I wonder who in hell gave them the job. After speaking to one so-called counselor without any difficulty she tried to sign me up for English classes. By the way, English is the only language I speak and I speak it with an English accent.

Job search is no different in Canada as it is in the rest of the world so save that about it’s being different.

Talking to people who have gone through this job search process is of no use because every one of them has accepted to work in very low profile to what they have worked in and out of their selfishness they want all newcomer to Canada to go through the same process. So not much help there.

(3) In an Ottawa citizen article from a couple of months ago, the writer joked that Canada has probably the most educated taxi drivers in the world. It is not a joke. I have met engineers, IT professionals, or accountants working as taxi drivers or in gas stations.

I have been in Canada for 9 months. The only job I have been able to find so far is at a call center (survival job). While I certainly had never thought that I was going to find a senior level position, I really thought that I could find an entry-level position considering my experience and the fact that my university degrees are from the USA and fully recognized in Canada.

In the call center where I work, the immigrants are all college graduates while none of the Canadians who work there have been to college. Canada has very stringent academy and professional requirements for new immigrants. I wonder why?

(4) 1. Canada does not need immigrants for economic reasons. Canada can produce its own skilled workers and professionals on its own.

2. The Canadian economy cannot take (and does not need) 200,000 immigrants a year. It is not big enough, and growth rate is moderate.

3. Unemployment (or employment) figures are unrealistic, like 7% or something. Among immigrants with up to two years in the country, unemployment could be around 30% (empirical and ballpark figures).

4. Although Canadians would not admit it, there is racial and ethnic discrimination. The "Canadian experience" story is just a subtle way to do it.

Remember that a large number of Canadians go south of the border for better job opportunities. Their Canadian credentials, qualifications and experience are fully recognized in the U.S. There is not such an "American experience" story. So, in your case, like mine, with U.S. academic background and working experience, it is hard to believe the "Canadian experience" story up here. Face it, discrimination.

5. Sooner or later, the "social assistance system", welfare or whatever it is called, will collapse. Very simple, a lot of immigrants will demand assistance with no employment opportunities.

6. Finally, an option could be, for immigrants like you and me with "American experience", survive the next couple of years. Then we get the Canadian citizenship and go to the U.S., like many Canadians do. At the end of the day, we have "American experience" and American education.

BAAP REY BAAP!

"Change before you have to" : Jack Welch

There are several reasons why Canada stands as a preferred destination of international immigrants.
First, Canada has a history of openness and reputation as a friendly welcoming country as well as an honest broker in international politics.
Second, Canada is generally free from racial tensions and uprisings that are now so rampant in Europe.
Third, Canada is a very large country that can absorb a lot more immigrants comfortably than countries in Europe that are much too smaller. The vastness of Canada, with its big brother the US to the south of the border, is another advantage for immigrants to come in large numbers. The present annual intake of immigrants in Canada is around 2,00,000.
Fourth, the great diversity of Canadian population is another source of attraction for immigrants who may like to be in a mosaic society like Canada, which promotes multi-culturalism than get lost in to a melting pot that US has become. The top ten countries of origin for newcomers to Canada were China, India, the Philippines, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Iran, S. Korea, Poland and Russia.
Metro Toronto population has people drawn from more than 80 countries of the world! People of Indian and Sri Lankan origin are prominent in the fields of commerce, industry, arts, culture and entertainment.
Gerrard Street in downtown Toronto, like Jackson Heights in New York, is a place that is nick named as Little India for its heavy concentration of Indian bazaars, eateries and movie theatres. Likewise there are other exclusive quarters of attraction for Italians, Greeks, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, etc.
Finally, a major factor that attracts immigrants is Canada infrastructure in Health, Education, Transportation, Tele-communications, etc. that are comparable to the best in the world, not to mention its clean air, environment and water. Albeit the above advantages, the immigrants coming from the tropics may have one little concern, namely four months of Canadian winter which could be really rough at times!
I think this is what an immigrant deciding to make the big move sees in Canada. When they reach here and experience reality is another story.
