Might? At this point, it is pretty much sealed that CPC will form a majority government. Look at how Trudeau and Marc Miller talk, they are like in a parallel universe.
Now I understand what the lambda types meant by saying “We pay taxes bro”….!
CH2 is filled to brim with a lot of well... "not the best kind of canadians". A lot of them just have high-school diploma or "some degree". They are acerbic because they can not get their home or rental in one of the main population centres of Canada : Van, Toronto or perhaps Calgary. While immigrants take initiative to move from another country to Canada, these folks do not want to even move cities.
The purpose of the link was growing disenchantment towards immigration in Canada. Other subreddits include r/canada and historically left leaning ones are now openly anti immigration, something that would've been an instant-ban in the past. The question regarding productivity/mobility/justification of immigrants taking jobs over Canadians could be true or false depending on the situation but it is also not a secret that immigrants are willing to work for less. Outside of FAANG, tech salaries are heavily depressed in Canada. Even Big4 salaries are pathetic but because there's so much surplus of people wanting to work their for the 'prestige', they can massively underpay
Canadian grace is waning and now there is a growing resentment about this ongoing war and Ukraine's incessant need for money or weapons. Another group of refugees of whatever kind will be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
I am hearing it completely different from my friend who is job hunting these days. Salaries offered are good. Though expectation these days are that you will work from premise instead of home. This has been the sticking point for him for he is a manager and he does not want to work outside of Victoria due to his family reasons. To be honest, he did not even apply to "big4" because most of the positions in big4 are ... well.... not really good to say the least. Best thing one can do is to seek american companies hiring in Canada. True blue canadian employers are a little weird.
We had a quarterly meeting with finance last month, we will be offering 10% higher comps starting March 2024 to stay competitive in the job market. Things are improving now.
Wow 10% is awesome for Canada, I assume it will be more for promotions and less for regular ratings
My HQ is California. But in general, things are improving. VC funds are stronger this quarter too, we now have LPs that are willing to invest in high risk, zero revenue, and no past exit founder/startups. This hasn't been the case from a long time now. Most VCs were preferring revenue generating startups(specifically in companies that had a justified net revenue retention), a minimum 15% equity at low seed stage funds, with a guaranteed seat on the board in 2022. Right now, we are seeing funding deals with less and less constraints, which would likely improve the job market.
This is mostly the case for the low wage jobs and it’s not new immigrants who are displacing Canadian born workers and other immigrants, it’s international students and temporary migrants. The main issue right now is that temporary migrants and international students are displacing new immigrants and Canadians from jobs and housing. Temporary migrants are now bigger than the indigenous population of Canada, which is crazy. No one knows why the government is doing this because this isn’t going to bring any prosperity to Canada nor does it provide more tax revenue. Most of the international students are working in minimum wage jobs and pay the least amounts of taxes.
We are in a unique position too. If the job market goes down, our consumer products take off as job seekers need our products. If the job market goes up, our B2B products generate more revenue. We have a very well managed revenue liquidity.Wow 10% is awesome for Canada, I assume it will be more for promotions and less for regular ratings
Usually isn't the HR trend to give the largest raises to the highest performers in the appraisal bell curve
Things that really piss me off:
I mean with the introduction of the category based draws, you’re going to eliminate 3 and 2. The cut off score for general draws is so high, I’m not sure how much a LMIA will help. I’m also not sure about what the government intends to do with 2.2 million temporary migrants. Many of them will have to go back or serve the underground economy as undocumented workers. It’s going to be painful for them as there’s no joy living undocumented in Canada. You’re cut off from all services and there’s absolutely no way you’re going to have a better life working 4 dollar per hour cash jobs. It’s also logistically impossible for Canada to send all 2.2 million people back if all of them overstay. CBSA doesn’t have the resources to do so. They cannot deport millions of undocumented workers in the US, what makes you think Canada can do the same? They will have to leave voluntarily.
