Working at McDonolds gives you experience and exposure to life in Canada. If I moved to your country, I would say it would be a good first job. The trick is, to move up the ranks or have a clear exit plan.

Even some of the best will fail in Canada. Sometimes there is also bad luck. The BBC had an interesting program on the radio a couple of weeks back. An Indian UK reporter came to visit extended family in Torono. He interviewed his relatives, and they only had praise for Canada. Some of them had...

I landed in Canada in June but I'm back now in the UK hoping to relocate later....what I am curious about is the car insurance bit most people I met in Canada complained about the astronomical cost of Car Insurance, for instance a couple of them says they pay up to $200 - $300 per month on car...

I came back just to read your post again Josh, and to read all the comments just to make me feel good. Let your experience be a lesson to all others. It serves as a warning and also an inspiration to all. I returned to Canada as a boy at age 14 (I'm Canadian) and made many mistakes. I remember...

Welcome to Canada Josh. Your post was truly wonderful. You blamed no others for some of your difficulties and you accept the mistakes you made. You are not alone. There are many like you. The ones who blame others will never be happy. You will go on to do great things in your new life, and if...

Life in South Korea. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/02/world/asia/02race.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=global-home Mr.Kim gave Canada 2 years, and with having PR in Canada he can buy a home with a mortgage as long as he has a job. I live in South Korea, and I have PR here and I simply can't get...

안녕하세요! Mr.Kim Sorry to hear your story. You did know that your qualifications would need to be upgraded in order to qualify for an engineering position before you immigrated. I also know a Korean in your position and works as a diswaher. His wife used his savings to open a restaurant, divorced...

Many of us also have what we call our "comfort zones" and that means we are comfortable where we are but we do know that life could be better in Canada, but we know there are risks involved. When I was 26 I moved to Asia and didn't think twice about it. I had a good job offer in Hong Kong and...

Just tp clarify, i did not say that one must be white and to have a degree from Canada, the U.S or the UK. I said that if you are not white and do not hold a degree from these countries, you would be at a disadvantage. Canadian employers do not invest much in training. They like to employ...

I can understand the anxiety on making the move to Canada. I'm Canadian and have been an ex-pat working and doing business in Asia for about 20 years, and will move back to Canada soon. I doubt that i will find a job that can pay me what I can make here in Canada, at least in the first few...

Failing in Canada has nothing to do with Canada.

Some very good comments here. I have read Not Canada, and in truth some people are going to fail, while most succeed. If I were to create a website caled Yes Canada and removed the nagative post one would have a different picture. That aside, there are great challenges that one faces when...

Yes, still here but planning on moving back to Canada. I really feel for all of you who want to move to Canada. Thouh I am Canadian, my wife is not, so in a way I'm in the same boat as you. As for others, yes I have an employment agency but not for Canada, I recruit for countries in Asia. My...

I have a couple of businesses and one is an employment agency, and the other is a specialized printing business.

I like what Maoist has said. There can be more opportuniyies in the U.S. than in Canada. Many Canadians do move to the U.S and thrive and are not there driving cabs or delivering pizzas. They have an advatange because they lok and sound like most Americans, and even act much the same. Canadian...
