Hi everyone,

thanks for helping me through out the immigration process

I am a mechanical engineer with 10+years experience in automobile industry in india.

As i am moving to canada in coming months, thinking of doing some skill based course in india those can help me to get job there.

Please suggest what kind of job/skills are in demand specifically for mechanical engineers in canada for new immigrants.


Thanks in advance

Auto industry (and mech in general besides HVAC and the project eng stuff in oil & gas and energy) doesn't really exist in Canada so it'll be tough finding a job in your field. You can try to find something in ON or QC but that's it. I see the occasional truck or tractor design job outside ON/QC but that's like one new job per 3-4 months so you'd be extremely lucky to get that. Besides, you aren't even considered an engineer in Canada until you get your appropriate designation from one of the legal regulatory bodies. The minimum it takes to get the entry level designation is 4 months and since your degree is probably not accredited in Canada, it'll take much longer for you.

If you have any transferrable skills I highly recommend you look outside mech eng in Canada. Canada has no industry outside of oil & gas so mech eng is a bad career in Canada.

Adding an English translation is optional where I live.

Usually the first paragraph is in local language and the second in English. The job of the notary is to ensure that the translated copy of the document is done by an approved state translator in this case.

in my country all translators in business are state approved, i mean you can't practice this job nor get your stamps if you are not approved by the court, does this mean i dont need to get the documents noterized by a public notary ?

What if we're using a Canadian registered translator? Should we notarize the copy as well?

You should be fine.

In case of translation, the notary's job is just a layer of "double" veryfing if you may call it.

In every country, all translators are state approved, thats how it works.

Adding the notary in this case if just optional for everyone involved, but in my opinion, since it costs peanuts, doest hurt to be included. You can go ahead and just translate the documents and attach them to the original ones.

Personally, I like to use the notary because when a document is noterized, it is put into the state's system in PDF and stays there.

Ok when I opened the thread it was 2378 pages and now I'm posting this on page 2370.. Seems like massive cleaning exercise going on. Never seen so many comments deleted before that 8 forum pages (may be more) were reduced.

Its been happening for sometime.

Curry smelling: I smelled curry for weeks coz I would cook food and wear the same dress to my classes. Smelled like shit until my Uncle told me about the mistake we all India do. From that day, I would keep my clothes away from my kitchen.

Can someone describe what exactly is curry smell? What exactly does it smell like?

It may come as a shock to someone Non-Indian but we don't call our food "curry". If such a smell exists and my nose has already blocked it, how can I know about it?

Wasn't happening about a month back. There were some very nasty comments which were never deleted. Given that number of pages count is now 2342 from 2378, I think a massive cleanup happened just yesterday.

The challenge is always consistency though. I have seen some comments just not removed and some replies to those comments are removed immediately. Let's hope the forums are kept clean from now on.

I don't get this. Have these guys even passed through a Chinese fast food place or a restaurant? And they want to say it doesn't have smell. And it is true for any cuisine .. if you are not used to that cuisine that smell will stand out.

But it is not easy to target China coz well they pretty much own Canada.

But there is a small difference, first of all I am not saying it as a racist comment but this is the issue
In india we cook in open rooms (I meant ,open doors and window) but when the room is air-conditioned the same air will be inside the room longer which means stronger smell.
I just go out of my home when my mom cooks fish the smell of turmeric kills me ,I can eat it but the odor is too much for me.

After being in the west I stopped it long ago not because of the odor but it is too unhealthy eating carbs 3 times a day screw you.
I like ham but hate the smell ,for me sushi bar smell is the worst all the sauces along with curry.
@RSub I slightly disagree with you there ,you can name your kid whatever you want, as a dad as long s you raise your kid as a good human you are good but man is a social animal, by naming your kid some odd names you are increasing the chances of your kid to be bullied (many not be of a huge margin but considerably),studies where conducted in the US about this and it was found you name can have an impact in employment. So in theory you are putting your kid in disadvantage

Look at uber drivers in the US ,usually Muslims put it as Sam I have seen that a lot,my friend I know for a fact he didn't get calls because his last name was Mohammad, in that aspect canada is way better

My asian female friend in NY got married to a Goldstein in New York and took the name. Since then, she gets so many more callbacks for jobs

Curry smell or Indian cooking smell is very real thing. Imagine an east asian guy/gal cooking sea food in your office pantry microwave. You will know the smell right away. Those who are not as used to indian spices feel the same way about indian cooking smell or curry smell.

This smell do comes off the clothes if you do not wash them properly and live in a small apartment with open kitchen plan. Spices have very strong odour. We just do not notice it because we are used to it.

We use spices that are rich in sulphur that gives a very distinct and strong odour. Eg. Asafoetida or Heengh. This is rich in sulphur and it can be an acquired taste for those of us who grew up in Indian families. My family uses it liberally in a number of recipes and cookings. It can be very strong and very revolting if you are not used to it. Temper it with butter and its even stronger. Thats what Tadka is.

You can save yourself a lot of trouble with spice odours if you just skip the dry-roasting/tadka and cover the pans most of the time while cooking. I'm also used to opening the windows while cooking anything, but I don't think that's an option in Canada during winter.

So anything other than salt and pepper gives out a smell?

Pepper does too if you roast it. One of the strongest, in fact.
