I don’t know how people look at this thing [Living and Working in Canada]. I feel blessed if I can get fresh air, clean water [hot & cold, which is a luxury], less pollution, an opportunity to make a living, live with family in a peaceful environment far from the hullabaloo of communal tension, religious insanity, strikes/bands/disruptions, and jealousies/hate of people.

An opportunity to make a living is all I care; I don’t mind the kind of job. Over all these years in North America, I have done various kinds of jobs, the key is to keep working and NOT think the kind of work one is doing. This mindset of classifying jobs is truly “Desi” where we respect an Officer who takes bribes but we look down upon laborers who scorch in hot temperatures doing real hard work.

In my view there is honor in every honest work. Nevertheless, everyone has their own way of looking at the World.

Welcome to tamilkuravan and hope we can get good suggestions and tips from him as always. It is no good to know that he is unemployed now in India but it is same with most of us when someone go back to India after working in Canada.
It is better to apply for benefit if you are unemployed in Canada but Service Canada would ask for 900 hours completed in any job and you have to show them proof in form of ROE or Record of Employer.

I guess, when you get NO job in Canada & NO work in Canada, due to racism & discrimination, you have NO choice but to go on welfare.

You have spent thousands of dollars in coming to Canada & day by day your savings are dwindling, so no harm in applying for welfare & breaking even.

You can always go back after you break even. At least it didn't cost you anything to come here, and you learnt a valuable lesson in life, that the grass is not always green on the other side. Sometimes there is cold white snow, not greenery.
