Hi Mitron,

Thanks for your valuable advice. I agree with you over the fact that we have to be patient for an year because we have worked hard to come here and it's worth putting a fight. I do feel a bit skeptical now as to how we will make it here with the things you have pointed out and a little more confused with where to start. However, I do agree that as a couple we should be together otherwise mentally it will be really difficult to overcome this phase.
I have been applying but not getting a response from companies and I am slowly my the gap of unemployment is increasing. I don't want to get into field in which I have not worked professionally but going back to India is not an option.

Maybe few months down the line we might shift to Toronto to see how it goes.Let's see how things work out.

Hi dsd,

Thanks for sharing the job profile, I don't have the experience in this field however, I have worked on client facing maintenance projects and this definitely looks worth trying.
I will definitely apply for this job.

You have to lie and fudge and exaggerate your resume a bit over here, otherwise you will NOT even get an interview call.

Some stupid White HR bimbo girl, with NO technical knowledge and who has a stupid HR diploma from some useless community college ( not even university ), screens your resume & has a first look at it. If certain key words from the job description are NOT in your resume, the stupid white bimbo throws your resume in garbage, she doesn't even go into detail and sees, what your real skills & qualifications are. Bimbo looks at your resume for 2-3 seconds, in her high heels & short mini skirt & tight blouse & decides not to call you for the interview.

But Once you are at the interview stage by fudging your resume, you can at least convince the stupid White HR folks to hire you after they see you in person. The worst thing that will happen is they won't hire you, but at least you reached the interview stage & at least have an opportunity to impress these uneducated racist fools.

If you tell the truth on the resume, you have ZERO chance of even being called for the interview. All the good jobs & salaries first go to the White people over here, the left overs are reserved for the Desi immigrants, who are actually more qualified & more educated than them.

This is a fact. White people don't like to work under Brown people & take orders from them, hence the cushy management & supervisory jobs & roles go to them, not coloured immigrants, who get some clerical & administrative jobs over here.

The pay gap between White people & coloured immigrants is HUGE in Canada. Their average salary is twice that of immigrants, but their education & qualification is NOT even half of yours.

A white guy with a college diploma or high school education will get the exact same job or even better job than a DESI immigrant with a Master's Degree.

Welcome to Canada !

Don't have just One resume.

You need a tailor made & different resume for each & every job you apply, with the keywords from the Job advertised being a must in your resume. As lot of times machines, not humans just scan your resume & throw it in garbage if the keywords are not present in your resume.

You can't just send the same resume to 10 different IT jobs. You have to slightly change the resume & cover letter to fit the 10 jobs you are applying to, so 10 different resumes for 10 different jobs.

White people don't have to go through this because nepotism is rampant in Canada. They get their jobs from their references,connections, family & friends, who get them in. Especially true in the Public sector over here.

Desis simply don't have the resources, references & networking & skin colour to compete with them.

Just suggestion ( I am sure you don't require it )
Prepare specific resume for each job you apply , sometime you can show more than what you are and some time s show less - depend upon job requirement .
