Same thing in Australia. Most of the “high skilled” immigrants end up driving Uber and doing other menial jobs.
The country’s infrastructure isn’t big enough to support professional jobs for huge number of immigrants every year, but govt sends out massive no. of invitations as a shortcut to boost economic growth.
Few years ago, shift in populist opinion on immigration made govt to cap the yearly immigrants intake, making it super hard for aspirants, without a skilled job (like me), to get PR.
But that’s what we as immigrants sign up for. No matter what kind of gun you were in your field, back in your home country, you can’t expect to get a decent skilled job in new country, with which you have ties, straight away. You have to start at the bottom and work your way up. The ones with no preconceived notion of any skills superiority are the ones who adapt and thrive.
