Anybody can be wrong. That's why I don't trust even God. I trust only data. I think for all PRACTICAL PURPOSES there are no entry/mid level jobs for new immigrants in white collar industry IF each vacancy nets 150-200 desperate candidates. I mean think about it: each time you want to apply for...

Thank you for your reply and clarifications, torontosm. In regards to what you mentioned above (foreign experience vs Canadian job market demands), how will that said immigrant EVER get the Canadian experience if no one gives him or her a chance, on the account of not having the very...

I disagree with newtone on several points, though I never voice my opinion on his posts. We all know he can be wrong. However, what does "some immigrants have risen to top of Canadian companies" have to do with the fact that majority can't find a job, unless they have a "network" and...

I merely asked questions. You didn't answer. What is clear, Sir/Madame, is that you have no answers. Giving false hopes to new immigrants is not a nice thing to do. FYI.

Why not say as it is? If you do not have an experience, or your experience is outdated, why give new immigrants false hopes?

Great! I am sure you can give me some practical advise. First, when did you immigrate to Canada? Was it before or after 2009/recession? If you immigrated when job market was healthy (as it used to be in US), then your advise would be irrelevant today. But if your experience is relatively...

02/15/2015 UPDATE: Still no replies on any of the resumes submitted

Job market in Canada is similar to India. You have to know someone and be well connected if you want to get a job in white collar industry. Competition is fierce, hundreds of people apply for each vacancy and your chances are nil unless you know HR.

rahul, my jab is pointed at those who say you must network to get a job in Canada. What I am saying is that , with proper 'networking' , you can get job anywhere, even in Somali. Historically, people moved from the Old World to North America to get rid of those very things that are becoming...

Problem is not my ignorance,in fact I am aware of what I am talking about, but it's your emotional investment in the subject and personal attachment to Moscow. Evidently, it prevents you from objectively viewing the reality. Overwhelming majority of migrants in Russia that I heard of are from...

Oh really? :) With all due respect , but being from Moscow haven't you heard how your FSB 'covers' (or 'provides a roof', as Russians say) all the non-gov 'businesses' there, how racketeers from 1990's became 'security firms' that 'protect' small businesses (essentially from 'protectors') and...

I think you can begin the process of RBC account opening from overseas. They will take all your info, MAY even accept deposits (not sure, check on it), and they will ask you to walk into branch and present your ID once you are in Canada before they fully activate your account and let you use it.

What do you mean "can't have it your way in Canada"? Are you joking? :D You can't have it ANY way. I am not saying it's mere caprice of employee, I am telling you that your resume won't even be looked at if it's in a field entirely different from what you have experience in. ;D P.S. It's...

You have awesome rates then. Good luck!

Good luck with that strategy aashay, but let me tell you something I know. One of the outcomes of over saturation of job market with desperate workers is that most hiring companies now demand years of experience even for entry level positions (The only people they would still hire for entry...

I don't know if they have usforex.com offering international money transfer in OP country and I am not sure he checked the rates on usforex.com site before posting a reply to my suggestion, but I can assure anyone reading this that I have not found a Bank in US or Canada that would exchange and...

You are very welcome. Make sure you read fine print and understand what you are actually paying for exchange and transfer of funds. Best of luck

slowokan, I don't know what your bank charges for currency exchange. I know that unless you are a bank, you can't get an exchange of currency at the interbank rates. All banks charge individuals exchange fees (included in exchange rate), and in most cases it costs a lot. When I compared rates...

I think if you want to get the most of your money and loose the least of it in fees, then you should go to USFOREX.COM and use their service to transfer your funds to Canada. They are very fast and will cost you the least to transfer your funds in excess of $10000 If convenience is your top...

I want to live in a Liberal country. Not "Liberal" in a sense this word was distorted since 1950's, but LIBERAL in a sense US was when founded. I need money to buy food to eat, but I also need an air to breath (which is free of cost where it exists, but where it doesn't exist you will die...
