Flute, what we have in US is Milton economy, and it is very much the same economy which you have in Canada, except it's not in as bad shape yet as Canadian economy is today (If you send hundreds of resumes you'd still get phone calls and some interviews in US, while in Canada you must "network"...

It doesn't matter how many degrees u have and how much work experience you have mate. It all depends on how u interact with people and what you are. Those are excellent points! My grandpa always says "Even though you can't buy class, you still can buy a job" (and then he goes "HEHEHE :P ) , I...

Economy is the real problem in Canada today , IMHO. P.S. I respect the opinion of OP, but it would be great to have one thread to discuss the same subject. Just my opinion.

Somebody used a mental shortcut: OP looks like visible minority >> many store clerks are visible minorities >> + OP was dressed like a store clerk = Ergo OP is salesman. That was a split second decision made by a person who approached OP in a store. Words are misleading. Discrimination is a...

OP, I am glad you are able to post your thoughts without interference, and I am not one of the posters who will personally attack you because I disagree with anything you posted. But I will tell you two things: 1. What you call "racism" is one of the manifestations of mental shortcut: the same...

I wasn't arguing there. I specifically said I won't go into argument about $$$GDP, and cited facts which make the GDP $$$ figure an unreliable indicator to measure a real economic performance.And I have stopped it there. So, there was nothing to disagree with me per se, and the things I cited...

I stand what by what I have said. If you adamantly say it's idiotic and don't provide explanation, then you are asking to be called names , but still I am not going to respond to you likewise. Instead, I will once again provide you with a measured, based on reason, reply. Now I am not going to...

Yes, I believe it is "not much different". I didn't say "it is the same as". What is idiotic about that particular statement? P.S. Notice, I am not calling you an idiot for implying that I made an idiotic statement, without even explaining what was idiotic about what I have said. I prefer to...

Evidently, the biggest GAP is between Federal Government policies (such as FSW and push to bring more immigrants to Canada) and the Private sector, which responds by rejecting and outright refusing to hire newcomers , or pay them less than to Natives. This is a new phenomenon, where New...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS: We all basically are here BASHING CANADA (for whatever reason , because its' economy has no jobs to hire many of us as skilled workers, because you have to "network" to get a job like in a third world corrupted country and so on),now how come it's OKEY for us to DO...

If you notice, I stopped posting since then. What for? It will get deleted anyway if it's what I think and not a lie some post reporting members here would like to hear. First, they attacked and insulted me personally, said there is no corruption in India. When I posted 5 direct links to...

Some people are incapable of tolerating a critical opinion they disagree with, nor able to rationally argue their point to the contrary, without personal insults and attacks. :) As a result, you will have to read my previous posts. The one I posted in reply to this current post of yours got...

Regarding the bribes, it's the same or similar story all over the so called developing world. If I just met someone and said "Look, you guys have lots of bribes there [name of developing country]", some could get angry, even assault me I guess. But, after I knew someone well enough, I would...

People can say all they want. But here is what I think. I haven't been here in 1950's or 1960's , when life was "good" in US. That's when one person in a household was working (I guess women were not well assimilated into workforce yet), and that person could be a laborer in factory (for ex...

Hussain Junejo, I am aware of the issue (rampant corruption in developing world), or else I wouldn't state it exists. The most straightforward inquiry would be: is it true or is it a malicious lie? If true, then logical question is: what is the real problem? The one who raises the subject or the...

I am not sure what "petrol-chemical" is , I was writing "petro-chemical" (meaning "petrochemical"), and had it changed to "petrol-chemical" by the grammar-check software on this website. As to current state of economy, I don't think it's an indication of a healthy economy when ONLY ONE OUT OF...

I believe if you have some rare and specialized skill you can easily land job anywhere. In US , when we had an official recession (supposedly our economy had recovered since), anyone having certain skills (engineers, etc) could easily land $90K jobs. In fact, many openings weren't filled because...

FSW Applicant, contrary to your assumptions I am an avid reader , in fact reading is my hobby. How else I would know particulars of Indian subcontinent (such as Pakistan having being part of what earlier was India and of Bangladesh being part of Pakistan before second Indian-Pakistan war and...

FSW_Applicant, do you think I would post the name of and reveal identity of a person (or persons) who told me about corruption in Indian job market? If so, you have very poor opinion of me, which I don't blame you for since you don't know me in person. Regarding the link I posted, as I...

Indeed, it seems like in India you can bribe and get a job, but you can also get a job without bribing, just by meeting the specs, In Canada you will not get a job without "network" (it's not exactly bribing, but just another way of doing things the corrupt way, when abused and overused). Where...
