What others said or they have to say... I do not think it matters to Marcus at all.
>>> Correct, it does not matter to marcus if you tell him that there are ways around to do better. His mind is fixed that in this position nothing better can be done. What ever was suggested to him and who ever did so, he bounced back with rude words. He was not at all receptive to new ideas. So what is the use of coming to a public forum and narrating your issues, when you do not want to hear from others?
There are some people on this forum like Marcus who at times have shown the courage and came up with the real picture of the job market in Canada.
>> 2-3 months in Canada and if can tell the real picture of the job market of Canada and that too with a fixed mindset, i dont think his views should carry any weight. Adopt marcus views and one thing is sure that the future of new immigrant in Canada is definately going to sink.
I would not say the approach was at all courageous. Courageous work is where people work around in difficult time and situation.
In respect to those who keep highlighting that, there are plenty of opportunities available. The market is wide open for each and everyone who comes to Canada having high expectations that we will do a lot better in terms of what we have already achieved.
>> to get a job is by way of competition and Canada is no exception. Did any one anywhere stated that Canadian employers are lined up at airport to hire? Those who plan, work around, learn from mistakes, adopt etc find it easy to get job. It is recession time in Canada, i agree that it is bit diffucult time to get job, but i would never say it is impossible to get job. Employees still hire new immigrants. I have seen 100's of new immigrants getting hired in my 2 years of stay in Canada. I am in customer care role and talk with a lot of new immigrants
However, the fact is you come here as an Immigrant and remain as an Immigrant for the rest of your life struggling to cope up with your expenses and in maintaining the standard of life.
>>> Canada is life of Immigrants, it does not matter that someone immigrated 100 years back and some immigrated in 2012. No one say anywhere that you are an immigrant. Maintaing standard and expense is ones own choice, the more one works hard , the better is the chance to make more money and thus maintaing higher stnadard. I dont see even the new immigrants are doing very bad. Initial days days are tough and how can one expect that decision to immigrate is a bed of roses, it is expected that initial period can be rough. Those who have no guts to brave challenges should not plan to immigrate.
You are never absorbed in the system because the qualifications and experience, which you were/are always proud, has no value in this part of the world.
>> Once hired , no one cares who was educated where and worked where previously. It is not a subject of discussion. At work place I have seen a lot of employees are foreign educated and experienced, who cares as where one worked before. Value is what you earn, work hard and earn value at work place. Work is apperciated in Canada in the same way it is appreciated in any other part of world and carries the same value.
So instead of accusing Marcus think before where you stand today....
>> What Marcus is facing is nothing new, what he has undergone can not be changed, but future can be changed by taking steps in the present. Failing to take those steps is ones choice and , why later on blame others for miseries and frustration. What marcus is not happy about is not just job, it is more than getting a job. He does not like anything in Canada.
I am pretty sure my words will have no meaning for those who have already decided that Canada have no job opportunites, is not a good place to immigrate, is not USA, is expensive, Canadians are rude etc etc but anyone who has not decided on these issues can take a cue from it to decide.
One thing is pretty sure that if I would not have liked Canada, I would not have ever immigrated and even when I would have immigrated and found out that this is a unsuitable place for me ( not only in terms of job), I would have taken the 1st flight back or anywhere else. And that would have been "THE END" of my immigration story. I would not say that if i like this place everyone should like it also, but definately what Marcus have stated in his 2 posts is not a true picture of Canada.
