Good for you. Are you a Mexican? What's the point of getting another PEng when you have a good job as you claim? You are trying to sound like an old immigrant who has gone through a lot when in fact you've just become a PR. What made it take so long? Almost two yrs? Most people with good jobs...

No, Forbes is for frauds. It takes money and publishes garbage like this, just like any mainstream media does nowadays.

Canadians' love of and obsession with these bogus rankings are just laughable. I am sure it has something to do with Canadians' deep-rooted inferiority complex. FYI, Poverty in Canada remains prevalent within some segments of society and according to a 2008 report by the Organisation for...

If you at least obtained Canadian accreditation (or whatever you call it anyways) and got a job in your field, we'll take you seriously then. Right now, you are just one of the millions of immigrants who are either unemployed or scraping by with minimum wage jobs.

Really? Sad to hear that. Did you get a new job? If not, what are you going to do? Do you have enough savings to live on for a while. At least Canadians hire locals for call centre jobs now that Indians take over for this kind of jobs in the US. I heard they are considered as good jobs in India...

Yes, I mostly meant Ivys (e.g. Skull & Bones in Yale) and some other public Ivys in the US. I stick to my guns, and will say college is all about making connections these days, especially so if your degree is not in STEM fields, more so if you have a degree in the humanities and social sciences...

I think you took offense with my use of the word Thai for some strange reason. LOL. I might have hit a nerve or something when I simply meant a kid and a foreign wife to support. I don't have any problem with you having been in Thailand for a decade. What I am trying to point out is what...

I don't think you get OP's point. Why do they want to make friends with "real Canadians"? It's probably because "real Canadians" are the only people in Canada who have "real jobs." So it seems pretty natural to me that skilled immigrants try to make friends with "real Canadians." That's the...

I know these types who get degrees from schools on the West or East Coast and then go back home. They may pretend to look liberal in California, and once in their home States, they'll show their true colors. The South too went through its own version of internationalization, and they don't want...

When has it become racist to call a Thai a Thai? And what the f--k do I care whether your Thai wife owns a house in Thailand? LOL. So you went from the U of Toronto to Duke? A top ten school? By the way it's pointless to go to graduate school unless you get a PhD or JD/MBA or other professional...

I'm just laughing at people who quote some bogus world university rankings to validate the prestige of their alma mater. Typically Canadian! Canadians who suffer from a perennial inferiority complex towards its neighbor are obsessed with all these bogus rankings that put Canada as one of the...

If you had your head screwed on right, you probably would have stayed in the US and gone to a US school. College is all about making connections these days, and you missed the boat. Now decades later, see where you stand, without a steady job and with a kid and a Thai wife. By the way I wouldn't...

Thanks. I think you're doing OK, considering the fact many immigrants are unemployed and living on their savings.

Steaky, you are a Chinese citizen. Right?

Again I appreciate your post. You said you make CAD 1850 per month. Is it after tax?

On-hold often sounds like or pretends to be a WASP, but I kind of feel he's not. Probably he isn't even American as he claims.

I'd lived in Texas for yrs. Yeah it's a lot like Texas with its Southern Pride, which I thought is very similar to Canadian Pride in a way. Canada is a lot like the Confederate States of America with its backwardness and provincialism.

Hi Ketevan, I appreciate your honest post. Are you from Georgia? And also I assume you're a female, because most call center jobs are for women.

Just ignore him. I think what you and on-hold are saying is absolutely true. The majority of my coworkers have never lived outside of Ontario, and many have lived in the same freaking city they were born all their lives. Amazing!

You guys raise a troll card whenever your argument is shot down. Can't you grow out of it? It's like a whining little kid crying for mommy, innit?
