I am a Filipino in Canada and I havent felt any discrimination for my being non-white. In the company where I work,  there's a lot of immigrants, the canadians are becoming the minority (no pun) . Canadians are nice people, if you are nice to them too. Now ain't that fair? my word of advise?  when in rome...

Proud to be Pinoy!

is this true? or been verified?  can any friends share?  US experience=CAN experience?

Yes and no.  It's certainly easier for us than most.  Education credentials are recognized, professional standards are roughly the same, so even where there are things to learn about the Canadian system, or the new employer (like any new job), employers expect us to adapt easily. (But sometimes it's the small differences that can trip you up...)  Then there's the language fluency...   But as always, it is hazardous to over-generalize.

Merci.
I always agree that over generalization is wrong. So what are the small differences... any typical examples?
