BEAUTIFUL COMMENT

Of all the IT people immigrating to Canada, Indian IT personnel have the worst ethics, worst professional standards, the worst documentation skills, who cannot design/architect anything and who mis-represent their experience the most. A 10-15 min talk can reveal all the fraudulent experience out. I have talked, met numerous IT personnel from india and interacted with them. No wonder indian IT personnel struggle here in Canada. I am extremely careful in hiring indian IT folks for myself or for my clients.

Often I come across a call from stranger for helping. When I ask what are your IT skills? , manytime I get answer "I can do everything" (In gujarati baddhuj!)

And the problem starts - I understand that this person is going do any job but not IT.

I don't call them IT Professionals

The resume agents you are referring to are fly by night operators.
Well where did the people's minds/conscience go if someone asks you to cook up your resume?
They might be doing good jobs in their opinion but how they got the job in the first place is open to plenty of debate.
Indian professionals are few and far between in canada anyways. . Lot of them come with a weird attitude thinking that they are the best and people will have to come and give them the jobs just because they worked in US. They somehow pass 3 years of living here, apply for citizenship and then go back to the US. Canada doesnt need these kind of people at all because they donot give anything back to this country.

Canadian employers arent stupid to know that most of the people coming from US are coming here only because they didnt get their green card and who come here out of no other alternatives other than going back to india. The employers figure that if i hire these people, they are going to quit my firm the moment they get the canadian passport. That leaves them with no incentive to hire even though some may be good enough to hire. It costs a lot of money to replace a person and companies here are more careful to see on whom they should invest for the long term.

The less the said about H1B's, it is better. H1B refers to a category where the people are very highly skilled in their discipline. I know tons of H1B's who absolutely have no experience, falsify their resumes and do a horrible job. Very very few H1B's are talented if any and majority of them are mediocre at best. I am sure everyone has their own horror story about H1B's. The worst one i came across was there was an individual who would even change his name, change his resume, get submitted to positions even for the same client, then the client finds that they have seen this before and get rid of the person and the agent. (Everyone knows most of the indian companies have no direct clients, they are just body shops which includes wipro, tcs and infosys as well).
