When BQ MP asked why he didn't consult targets and how they plan to address problems of housing etc for these people, Marc responded "nowadays there is a lot of demand from people around the world to come to Canada". Not even worth commenting on this guy's actions anymore.
He gave an more silly answer to the question on IRCC not facilitating the HealthCare professionals transitioning into their jobs in Canada. When reporter said look the immigrants can't come and wait here in Canada for years waiting for the approvals or redo the medical courses to get qualification to work in their jobs in Canada etc.. MM says that is not IRCCs job, processing their applications alone is our work, after immigrants land ,qualifying related challenges is not IRCC problem.

Look, if you know how to hunt contract jobs (and are good enough to be known by the word of mouth) and you have enough network in Canada; I guess this question (is it worth to move to X) will not be even asked. You will follow contracts as people used to follow caribou in past.

I am only talking from the perspective of someone who is neither. I have always got a little bit of leg up due to my former colleagues and college mates. But then twice in my career I went on my own way. It worked out well for me.

Coming to Canada, for me the problem was that I had just one month of time to plan out everything. My team and subsidiary was closed, I had three months to get the next job. I was not supposed to do anything for 2 months of that and in one month only very little from home to support "sunset" of my subsidiary. For two months, I did absolutely nothing. Sleeping, going out with my wife to all the known tourist spots of Karnataka and even a trip to Nilgiri. In the last month, I decided to do something about the position I needed. I had many offers from teams in India but then I knew I wanted to move outside India. If not for anything then to see what the hell the fuss is all about.

One option was Australia but I decided against it (even though I had PR over there). My friend who was in management and a PR in Australia like me got a reject from Australia teams. So I thought, its better that we both move to one place in Canada because immigration is cakewalk in Canada compared to USA. I found one subsidiary in Canada for my friend which were desparately looking for a middle manager for a long time, he fit in there because they wont have to do a full loop on him. There was no engineering position there, sucks! So I found another one that had and just joined there. My visa etc was processed in less than a month and rest is history.

As they say there are many ways to salvation.
Hi,

I was thinking about moving to Australia and was wondering if it was a good idea after reading the news about the difficulty of finding a job and the current housing crisis there. I got my canadian PR but I am hesitating to move back into the country because of the rent and I couldnt find a job. Now I can move to Australia (with immigration visa) but since the rent is also as expensive and job market is not particularly active ( for network admin / support role ). In addition, the competition is increasing as there is a massive influx of international students and temporary visa holders. I am not sure if I will be able to even find a shared accommodation.

I would be grateful for your advice and experience on finding jobs and living in Australia, especially in regional areas such as Newcastle, Goldcoast, Adelaide, Perth. I am really concerned about the rent and whether I will be able to find any accommodation, if I decide to move to Australia. I am also wondering if it is easy to find any part-time jobs there to, at least cover the rent.

Thanks for reading this.

In both countries finding the initial job will be a challenge which is where networking and currying favors from old pals, bosses etc...matters. Just for the rent if you move the smaller cities again finding a job in such smaller places will be a challenge. If you are not married you could try PGs in bigger cities also where you have a network to favor you getting a job is a better bet. Also, see GoldCoast and Perth rents are high, remember that as well.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am aware of the fact that it is hard to find the initial job given that I do not have any local experience or education qualification. I just kept thinking if moving back to Canada is a better choice since I am already a PR and I am somewhat familiar with cities like Toronto and Vancouver. By the way, do people need to pay one year rent upfront in order to rent an apartment / studio apartment in Australia?

What is the current rent market like in Toronto or Vancouver? I was also thinking if it’d better to move to Calgary since the rent is a bit cheaper, but I was told that it was also harder to find a job there and without a car it is hard to commute to work / study.

Yes the folks who don't know you will ask for a local experience, Australia they ask for references also etc... which is where the network of pals, former colleagues/bosses who maintained good terms with you matters. I don't know your area of work so can't comment if Canada is any better. Yes on a PR is easier to get jobs than on a work visa and in Australia, employers do not sponsor you a visa which makes it even tougher.
Calgary might have cheaper rent, but I have no idea about the pay levels there. As much as the cost of living or which city is cheap, I would suggest researching places where you have a network to give you jobs or there are more jobs in your area of expertise also. Those matter as well.

I have not really held any job in Australia so my opinion about it will be a speculation at best. Sydney and Melborne are very expensive places to live. You may want to live there only if you got some good job. Network admin / support roles are often found in IT departments of large enterprises like banks etc. But this space is becoming consolidated and smaller than what it was.

I will suggest to get a job before you end up in Australia. The other way round is simply too .... expensive. I made my resume in Australian format and got myself an australian number through call forwarding. You may consider getting a similar service or may be an australian mobile sim. The recruiters in Australian typically do not call foreign numbers. This helps to break down that wall.

Secondly, most jobs in Australia are not advertised. So having someone vouch for you in a company or something goes way long. It helps you to get infront of hiring people. Most likely you will be looking for jobs in traditional companies with a IT department so it becomes doubly important.

Lastly, a lot of companies are just offering contract jobs for the kind of roles you want. Many are advertised but most are not. During my time in 2010s, Perth was like a backwater of a city. It was cheap(er) and had some jobs. I do not know what is its situation now. But give it try. It will be easier to live into than Sydney and Melbourne.

Is this for real? I don't try to open/read worthless news articles, but can anyone validate if it is?

https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/17nlpxc
Yes.


It has a video and in Punjabi he is saying that sikhs will blow up airports in India on 19th Nov when world cup in India closes. He is cautioning Sikhs not to fly Air India on 19th Nov or they will do same what Parmar did. Apparently, this flies as freedom of expression in Canada and USA. No pun intended.

Here what he is saying literally, I quote :

"We are asking the Sikh Pant (Community) not to fly Air India.
On 19 Nov, Air India due to global blockade, Air India will not be allowed to fly.
People of Sikh Pant do not travel on Air India on 19th Nov, it is a mortal danger.
And this is our warning and order to Indian government that on 19th Nov IGI Airport will be closed.
This 19th Nov is the same date on which world "terror" cup (I think he means world cricket cup)'s final is there."
And then he goes to say all the usual Khalistani stuff. Like how "India tried to genocide Sikhs, we will free Punjab, How our marteyars blah blah blah. We will blah blah blah India"

In the end he reiterate the same warning to Sikhs on 19th Nov as mortal danger. His words "Jannu da Khatra ho sagda hei". "It could be a thread to life".

I am sure @abhiram.kumar will even rationalise and justify this as a wrong doing of India and Indians and will consider this as a constructive criticism of India because otherwise one is a Modi loving nationalist.

All the idiots in Surrey and Brampton voted in the unofficial referendum are supporting these kinds.


Now here is the biggest Kicker.............

AIR INDIA IS NOT A BLOODY INDIAN GOVERNMENT'S AIRLINE! ITS A BLOODY PRIVATE AIRLINES OWNED BY PARSIS BUSINESSMEN IN INDIA!

The owners of Air India are actually long arrived refugees in India who arrived in India seeking refuge from Iran. They have since successfully started a major businesses conglomerate and now own this Airlines (again).

This is no different than threatening Delta Air for whatever someone's issue are with US government.

I don't think Aus people are trying to move to Canada, which is becoming a sh*t hole. Aus is better in every way except for the proximity to the US.

These clowns think that this will make them look stronger or influential. But they just armed Jai Shankar with another thing to talk about: https://twitter.com/search?q="Air India"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends. This closes Najjar's case forever as no one will now want to be a part of it. JT is as usual isolated again. Also, will put most Canadians who supported Najjar in the other side of the bucket as they would also want to stay away from terrorists.

They have been doing it for a while without getting significant media attention, but with Najjar this won't be able to fly under the radar this time: https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/delhi-airport-terror-threat-khalistan-commando-force-air-india-flights-london-1737969-2020-11-04

The biggest issue with geo-politically influenced refugee programs is that you end up with child murderers, former PM assassins, Nazis, terrorists, etc - not too hard to see how that could make a country look so bad in the long run.

He made a terrorist threat. Let's see if Canada or America does what they are usually expected to do in the case of an active terrorist threat. We should make a petition on our part to tackle these terrorists at home, I'll write to my MP.

He is just warning passengers regarding the curry that is going to get served on that flight. The meat is being sourced from Pakistan
