Guys, can't put a link, don't know why but here's copied article, a bit discouraging, what do you think? Quora site if anyone's interesting for further research. Name of the article: What are the pros and cons of immigration in Canada" written by Elssa Neri
Hello!
As you stated that you are “ looking for uncensored deadly honest opinions regardless is the offend or discriminate”, I will give you my deadly honest experience:
If you come to Canada, you will be seen as dumb, underqualified and you will have to humiliate yourself and beg on your knees to many arrogant locals to give you even an unpaid internship, even if you are actually smarter and more qualified than them. “Canadian experience” is seen as the best quality one might have and without it - you`re nobody, even if you have a Master`s degree from Europe (which is a lot harder to get than the Canadian one, by the way) and 10 years of professional experience with amazing references.
I was told that you can immigrate to Canada only to mop up floors but I didn`t believe it until I felt it on my own skin. No one will be willing to give you a chance. It`s my experience, it`s my friends experience, basically - I`ve heard very few happy stories where everything turned out well.
If you`re a highly qualified European specialist, I strongly advise to stay in Europe - you will be fare more appreciated there and your education and experience will be seen as valuable on the contrary to Canada where they don`t give a damn about you whatsoever.
That`s my deadly honest experience unfortunately. I don`t see any pros at this point. Been here for a few months and I`m basically being ignored by whomever I turn to or even worse - I get a reply with a meaning “go f**k yourself, you are not welcome here, you sh***y immigrant”. The savings are starting to dry up and I still haven`t moved forward not least a bit. The same with a few of my friends who have moved here around the same time I did.
A few of my friends, very highly qualified professionals from Europe, who had immigrated a while ago - some of them work in shops or restaurants, a couple of them just moved back to Europe and currently live a great life.
Conclusion - Canada thinks they`re the best country in the world and everyone else are not worth anything. My advice - if you are a great professional, don`t go humiliate yourself, you`ll have a far better life in Europe.
All the best!
