What is Canadian Experience? Immigrants Puzzle!
By:

Many new arrivals to Canada and Toronto in particular discover that they cannot get an IT job as soon as they arrive - no matter their level of skill or experience. The reasons given usually center around language skills and lack of "Canadian experience".

What is Canadian experience?

Canadian experience usually means having experience interacting with people in the context of the culture found in Canada. Every culture is different. For instance, relationships between supervisors and sub-ordinates vary from culture to culture; and country to country. And Toronto is the most cultural diverse city in the world!

How can I get Canadian experience without a Canadian job?

Getting Canadian experience without a job:
Volunteer. Volunteering for a charitable or cultural organization will help you to get Canadian experience and references.

There are many charitable and cultural organizations in Toronto and across Canada that need volunteers.

When you volunteer you are working. And you have someone that you will report to - a supervisor. You work with other people - usually in English.

The end result is that you gain Canadian experience. Experience that provides you with practical experience about the culture. Practical experience in speaking English and learning the local idiom, expressions, etc. And you gain References - from the person or persons that supervized you; and the people that you work with.

How do I find a charitable organization?
There are a number of groups in Toronto that can direct you to charitable organizations that need your help and in turn can help you to gain Canadian experience.

The Possibilities Project is a great place to start looking. http://www.possibilitiesproject.com/

S'up bighead,
I think what Dubaidesie is trying to portray is that India is more free than Dubai, whether I gather she is from, for women. She has also said that Canada is more free than India, that she loves Canada more than India. Nowhere do I read that she is lauding Canada and knocking India. I think you are reading too much into the post.
That she points out that women in India have succeeded is only to illustrate that it is possible there but not in Dubai or other places she mentioned
Only at the end she says that India will one day surpass Canada but that is in the future and is her opinion. Right now she flashes on Canada.
Anyway, different people read in different things. I just gave you what I read -d idn't delve too much into it. the other thing I read is that if she could make money there she would be there, that is why she is here where in addition she is more accepted. Everywhere I read more pluses for Canada than India so why are you bashing her? For something she never said but what you wanted to get off your chest?
Whatever you said about India vs Canada is true without going down to the nitty gritty like women shackled. I get your drift. That is what Dubaidesie is asking you to do- get the drift not pick on picayune details.Take in the general gist.

Anyway, pal hang loose.

BKB

Hi there
I was planning to apply under the category of graduate research assistant under Skilled Category for Canada.
I had a doubt in my mind that i have been working as graduate research assistant(GRA) for one year in a US state university. Am i eligible for applying right now or i have to wait for another year as i think that a full time student here has a workpermit of 20hrs/ week . Will it be considered as a full time or not.

I would appreciate if somebody could help...
