[size=10pt]While hoping that I'm not dragging anyone into an argument here, I want to make it clear that the links where posted in hopes that people who can read will, at least, read the content and become more aware of the impending risks involved. I'm not sure if there is a way to mitigate such risks or rely on prayers.
I'll post all 5 links here again:

The first link above contains an extract from a University of Toronto research that was carried out sometime ago, I quote.
"The practice smacks of discrimination. University of Toronto economist Philip Oreopoulos sent thousands of resumés to posted job ads and found that changing the name on a resumé from anglophone to Indian or Chinese reduced responses from employers by 50 per cent, with most employers saying they assume a foreign name meant the worker had poor English."
Considering the above and the other links as a whole, I can conclude that this is not about the competence or English level of the subjects, neither is it about where their degrees were obtained as a majority of the subjects obtained their degrees from the US, EU or FSW that had redone their master degree in Canada. Even FSW immigrants that have been educated in the US and with 20 years + experience are facing the same problems due their ethnicity. Assuming that non English sounding names had poorer skill sets is discriminatory, be warned![/size]
