My two bits...

If people believe the situation in Canada is bleak - racism, jobs etc. - they have the power to withdraw their application. That's called "CHOICE"

What i do not understand, and much less condone, is that one criticizes the country that offers him / her the promise of a fresh start before reaching there, thereby creating negativity around oneself and unconsciously self sabotaging his / her plans.

It's simple Like it - Immigrate, Don't like it - Don't.

But respect people's decisions - they might not align with yours, but that doesn't make em right or wrong!

FYI Explorer - I second your thoughts about the entire "jobs in Canada" scenario. Those want them bad enough get them, the others, complain, moan and wave the racist flag! After all, it's very easy to be the victim and extremely convenient.

Cheers!

The problem is that the choice that you talk about is a false choice, it is not based on fact.
Let me explain why, - yes, there is racism in Canada, but racism exists in many other countries.
The outlook in Canada is not as wonderful as many prospective immigrants imagine. A large percentage of immigrants leave Canada after gaining PR.
Jobs in general are still limited, Canada has not come out of recession yet, the USA is our biggest trading partner, the US is still in the middle of a big mess.

The choice should be, if an immigrant wants to come to Canada these conditions, then why not? If they don't want to, that is OK.
The foolish, are those who want to immigrate, and believe everything will be wonderful - it is not, be prepared for things to be worse than you think.

The choice should be an informed one, not blind faith.



What i do not understand, and much less condone, is that one criticizes the country that offers him / her the promise of a fresh start before reaching there, thereby creating negativity around oneself and unconsciously self sabotaging his / her plans.

While I agree that there are some people who are "sabotaging" their own plans, Canada does allow criticism and everyone needs to recognize this before they arrive.
It is part of Canadian life, this is just a small part of the freedom that makes Canada a good place to live. Despite the lack of jobs, racism, economy, etc


It's simple Like it - Immigrate, Don't like it - Don't.

Life is never that simple.
Clearly I think Canada is worth it, even though I am fully aware of real life here.

That is quite shocking, how about after seeing all this you withdraw your immigration application and getting refund of you app money. I can not do that cause I am already here in Canada and let me suffer here. Save yourself, this is right time for you.

7 months here and I am still waiting to see some one discriminate with me. The country I come from discrimanates its own citizens and these Canadians are adopting aliens. Few days back I was with qorax at his place in night , he had lots of snow right on his driveway and a white Canadian knocked at about 10 PM and told Qorax that he is jobless and requested qorax to let him clean the snow and he said that he expects just 2-3 $ for that. That white man is staying in the same type of house where qorax was staying ( now he shifted). The rent of those houses are $ 1600 pm + maintenance charges + taxes. Even when the local educated and experienced white Canadians are unemployed so how come anyone can blame Canadian Govt for not providing instant jobs to new immigrants. To get a job in Canada is by way of competetion. It depends on ones capability and skills and not on racial discrimination. Imagine what would be going on in the mind of jobless Canadians ( white guys, local educated and experience) that we the immigrants are getting their jobs and they are roaming jobless. Take it after few years from now, we as Canadians are laid off and not able to get new job and new immigrants landing and getting jobs. Say thanks to Canadians who do not think in that way as we would surely think.

Create your own post to raise crapy material. This world, people would even if they see God will criticise him, so where Canada stands. When you can create a post of just news publication/ hearsay/ google search items/ cut paste etc etc and your topic is quite enough to acclaim kudos for you, so start with a new post and enjoy there. Where you and your like minded can join and curse Canada and still pursue application for immigration to Canada.

I understand you have got a longstanding itching to confront with me, any time welcome after landing in Canada. Do not underestimate me even in your dreams. I am a born fighter and will fight with adversities till death and I know that you are no challenge for me. Your digging my old post and writing your crap in that is good enough to show your ulterior motive.

My post is only meant for people who wish to start implementing their dreams in Canada and not a discussion ground for your crap.

[b]Canada belongs to winners and not to losers, so Guys become winners for you and for Canada. Fight for success and do not wish to see it served in plate with PR Card. Earn your success and Canada belongs to you [/b]
What a wonderful post ! I really impressed my friend .May God Bless You.....So many +1 for you

Well said Explorer...!!
To add to this, don't we have to work equally hard in our respective Countries to gain the same status what we believe should be much easier in Canada.... why??
The same Hard Work is required in your new country as much you would do in your home country, but the rewards & satisfaction are far greater in Canada & that is the reason we want to immigrate there... a better & more respectable quality of life.

Kudos Explorer & rightly said, "Canada belongs to winners and not to losers, so Guys become winners for you and for Canada. Fight for success and do not wish to see it served in plate with PR Card. Earn your success and Canada belongs to you"

Re: Something which I learnt in Canada- Try KBM IT in Calgary

Hello New PR or Landed IT techies,

I posted a thread on on this forum "SAP Training and Placement in Calgary" . KBM IT Solutions primarily deals with SAP training and placements. It has recently started Java/.Net/Web developer/DBA consultants placements as well.
And this company also welcomes new PRs with exp in SAP and Java, while in SAP they train as well.

I believe new PRs should not be discouraged and I agree to the comments that if you have worked in Java/SAP it doesn't matter where you worked.
This company (www.kbmit.com) pushes the client to hire these new immigrants by lowering their rates so that these companies find it enticing.

So IT guys should feel that there are companied who understand them and willing to work with them.

Cheers!! enjoy your new home and hope you can land a job very soon...been there done that..thats how i can understand the pain..

After Landing : with amendements made as per Canadian style in resume, interview preparation as per North American style, one can get a job.

Why nil chances :eek:? I thought there is a category called for "Arranged Employment", i think it will be hard but not completely zero.
