Good day to all!


It does not need a view point but a cruel reality. Only a very insignificant percentage get job at the same level as in the home country but rest struggle. "Canadian Experience" is a discrimination against which Ontario Human Rights Association seems building awareness. Some of the excerpt is given below from the site http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/policy-removing-%E2%80%9Ccanadian-experience%E2%80%9D-barrier

"Statistics Canada reported that between 1991 and 2006, “the proportion of immigrants with a university degree in jobs with low educational requirements (such as clerks, truck drivers, salespersons, cashiers, and taxi drivers) increased.”

"Immigrant groups identify many barriers to finding jobs that correspond to their education, skills and experience. These include:

employers not recognizing foreign credentials and experience
language and communication difficulties (particularly relating to “occupational jargon”[5])
employers not helping them integrate into the workplace and not providing job-related learning opportunities
being rejected for positions because they are thought to be “overqualified”
arbitrary requirements for “Canadian experience”[6]
outright discrimination.[7]"

"In 2012, the OHRC did a public survey on requirements for Canadian experience in the employment sector. The OHRC received more than 1,000 responses from job seekers, regulatory body[12] applicants, employers and others. In addition, the OHRC consulted with a range of organizations and individuals, including agencies serving newcomers, employers, government and regulatory bodies. This background work showed that newcomers face Canadian experience requirements from employers at the job search stage.[13] They also face these obstacles when they try to get professional accreditation, as many regulatory bodies will not admit new members without prior work experience in Canada.[14]

When facing a requirement for Canadian experience, newcomers are in a very difficult position: they can't get a job without Canadian experience and they can't get Canadian experience without a job.[15] Responses to the OHRC's survey show that many newcomers turn to unpaid work (e.g. volunteering or internships) or “survival jobs” – low-skill work outside of their field of expertise – to meet the requirement for Canadian experience. For example, two survey respondents wrote:

[...] It took me a very long time to find a job and the one that I finally got was due to my many, many months of continuous hard work and long hours as a volunteer. The work I do now has nothing to do with what I went to college for. It was sad, depressing and a financially-draining struggle for me.

[...] The main reason that they cited [in support of their decision not to hire me] is lack of Canadian experience. I have all the qualifications and over 12 years of experience in a multi-cultural and fast-paced work environment, and I feel that I have good communication skills too. I have even offered to work without wages for a few weeks so that they can judge me and my work. I have started getting frustrated and am planning to go back. They say they need skilled workers but don't recognize your overseas experience."

The idea of posting above is not to propagate negativism but to mentally prepare for the worst if things don't get right in our way.

Note that for most of the province, you can get loan not for your educational expense but also some fund for family expenditure as parent student and most of the case you don't have to pay for the fund you receive against family expenditure. So you can maintain your family even if you admit to diploma/post graduate degree.

For getting job, all ensure you have a very very goo relationship with your current supervisor and take "letter of appreciation" preferably from three present/past supervisor/colleagues. Canadian employer give upmost importance to reference. They may even call your supervisor to know about it. Reference is almost mandatory.

Also go through http://www.hec.ca/en/current_student/careers/career_management_services/resources_for_you/understanding_canadian_job_market.html though it is addressed to international sstudent but some of the points are also relevant to us.

Hello po... question lang po, meron ba dito nagapply for NOC1111? How is it moving along? Kelan ba yung huling cc/dd charge nila? based sa ibang forums, applications received in October pa yung huling na-charge. Kung may makakapag share, that would be great. Thanks!

I personally dont recommend an agency. Ikaw din naman lahat mag gather ng documents plus the process is straight forward. Better understand express entry now. Basa ka sa cic website. Tapos sali ka sa forum ng express entry. Makakatulong yun. Ang promise ng express entry in 6 months may visa ka na. God bless.

nung nag apply kase kami hindi din nga kami nag agency, ganun din iniisip ko na kaya naman na kami na mag asikaso. Nung una na pinadala namin yung mga diploma namin para maverify nung third party nila, ok naman. Pero after nun ayun na nga ang tagal ng documents namin bumalik. Kung hindi pa kami ang email hindi namin malalaman na binalik na pala nila nung January last year pa nga daw. Tapos eto nung nakita ko dito sa forum parang ang bilis ng processing ng mga kasama natin. Salamat, sige basahin ko yang sa express entry. Hopefully makapsok din kami dyan sa Canada.

I'm December applicant also.
Yes, hopefully, we'll receive the CC charging soon.

Mu husband is a June 2014 applicant. After he got his PER in October 2014, we haven't received any correspondence from the Manila Visa Office. It's unusually taking so long but let's all keep our hopes up!

Magandang Gabi!

Has anyone been looking into airplane fares to Canada either DVO-YYC or MNL-YYC?

Saan po kayo nag inquire? How much were the lowest prices?

Any tips how to get the lowest fare and the shortest layover (3-5hrs only).

Thank you!

Hi,

Try skyscanner.com.ph, kayak.com and farecompare.com so that you can check various online booking services for the prices for the same flight at the same time. Also, I read somewhere that when you do check for fares online, do it in incognito mode if you're using Chrome (not really sure of the specifics but it was somewhere along the lines of the browser retaining information about your search and next time you search again, the prices tend to be higher for the same flights, no idea how true this is, hehehe)
