They are the sacrificial Lambs for Canada. They are the folks who spend their own money to come to Canada and end up serving Canadian community. They take out loans and come to Canada to “study”, do odd part time jobs, and end up pursuing full time career as Uber Eats driver or food service provider, and serve the Canadian Citizens and PR.I've seen the word "lambda" tossed around a lot. What type of people does it refer to? Is it a Canadian thing? Urban dictionary didn't help much
I see. Quite cultured for Canadians to refer to ivy graduates using a mysterious greek letter.
It refers to graduates from diploma mills like Lambton College (I hope I'm remembering this correctly and am not inadvertently slandering a reputable school).I've seen the word "lambda" tossed around a lot.

Actually the term originated when this college called Lambton college was known to enroll massive numbers of intl students that would have no career prospects in the courses that they took. Basically studying to end up working part time or survival jobs. This user called @dankboi just started calling the students that attended there lamdas and the term has just stuck lolI've seen the word "lambda" tossed around a lot.

I doubt companies will stop hiring open work permit people. They all love the fact they don't have to pay for the visa, all open visa candidates demand lower pay than Canadians. It is a 2 birds with one stone for employers. It is mid management folks like me who have to feel heat both sides
Fair enough, in my experience, Canadian companies didn't think much about hiring PGWP workers unlike that of AUS and UK as they're aware that such employee need to have sponsorship at some point.
You can only do your best at this point and unfortunately can't control everything. Sometimes, things take time. I'd also suggest learning French on the side - you'll never know what will eventually help you out.
I will start with this part. This is incorrect. I have been hiring immigrants that came here after 2018. Everyone requested a transfer. My sample is anecdotal and I accept it. However, liberals created a problem with housing, medical healthcare. Most young people and new immigrants won't vote for them for a simple reason; they are not getting what they expected to get. Please, do not forget one more minor but very important detail. A very left oriented society that strives under Liberals doesn't sit well with new immigrants. There are not many who move from West to Canada. Most are from conservative societies and thus, quite a lot of policies and ways of living are not accepted by new immigrants and they will support anyone who is for more traditional values.
Exactly what I have mentioned before. Older Canadians are happy with real estate prices. Younger ones and immigrants are not. However, everyone (older and younger) Canadians are turning against high immigration numbers. The reason is simple. Older ones cannot get a medical assistant they need. Younger ones cannot get good paying jobs.
That's exactly how Trudeau won. I still remember his speech.
Yeah, luckily I have a lot of options on my plate. Hopefully can stay here under my province's PNP (employer can sponsor, but cutoff is quite high as lambdas moved here to take advantage of the pathway), OINP Tech, EE tech draw - At this point, I'll just take whichever comes first.
I didn't come in 2015. I came in 2005. I have been in Canada for almost 20 years.Well actually, thank you for not advising. Thank you for not telling me to "just move to Alberta or Sask."
And thank you for seeing that the Canada you as an immigrant came to in 2015 is long gone. Many refuse to see this for one reason or the other.
How often are you blamed for "pulling up the ladder behind you"?
That's fine and kind of expected. You join at a lower level and within 2 years get promoted to senior, then squad lead, then staff. Then you can climb higher (which is actually pretty hard) or just move to management.
That's correct. We hire mostly from Waterloo, Toronto, McGill and UBC. There are always exceptions but those are the ones we target. In regards to titles; they are inflated. I was senior, then became mid at a different company, then moved to senior at another one, then was hired as mid at my current one and got promoted to senior and then staff.
Market is getting better. Most of the companies got in hiring freeze mode because they follow FAANG. FAANG started hiring again, companies are following. Chin up
You will see a lot of crap until you retire
I'm hoping to get my citizenship by late 2025 before the election. The first thing I'll do is vote Conservative
Nah it's 2 years for me. TIme spent in Canada prior to PR can reduce up to 1 year for citizenship
