DO NOT COME TO CANADA (Part II)

[emamabd]

The population of Armenia is 3.5 million total. How many dispora live in Canada? Maybe 30,000? Any business that offers a service no one will use is offering nothing.

maybe that job is tailored - to fit a specific person...i.e. already pre-arranged

Possibly. Though that may just be a work around employment fairness policies. Nothing of what happens in Quebec surprises me.

Yes, the standard requirement in montreal is french and english only, but some job postings ask too much. Although it is an entry level post, many also demand several years of customer service experience.

Please advise how long it took you to find this job.

For a teller, no bank pay more than $10-11 per Hr, it is lowest position in a branch. Fancophone and anglophone is bilingual requirement of most of the banks operating at places where high francophone population is there. It is not a requirement in Toronto or GTA. People who can speak mandarin can not in fact speak cantonese. It is not standard requirement that the reps in branches of a bank are multilengual. By the way I work for a Canadian bank( one out of big 5) and can not speak french, spanish, mandarin and cantonese.

Exactly!! That is the norm in Canada.Reading the job requirements in a lot of ads makes that very clear......

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Quebec, this is the norm every where in Canada.

Does this mean that they already know they will appoint Bob Smith and then describe Bob's competencies in a job advert to show later that Bob was a perfect candidate?

Not exactly. Only in Quebec do you have language police.

There was a hospital in Mississauga that catered more to the Indian community than any other and refused to hire a nurse because she did not speak Urdu or Hindi. While I'm sure it would have made working there easier it makes me wonder why you can have a hospital staffed predominantly of one ethnicity which cannot support the 2 official Canadian languages?

That's exactly what it means especially for higher level jobs!! Canada is shockingly retrogressive and corrupt in so many respects.

Yes. It is a work around as I have said before. It has happened to my brother who was used as bait in order for a certain city's Mayor to fill the position with one of his friends. Screwed my brother royally.

It also happenned to me in the country I was living before. It was a government job. They already chose a person before opening the application procedure and totally mocked me by forcing me to pass 3 tests, medical tests, security checks and internship, although the post was already pre-arranged. After the last stage (6 months of process) they rejected me. They just needed me to prove that the process was "competitive" and that person was not just appointed from scratch.
It was particularly this corruption that encouraged me to leave. Now I am deeply disappointed to know that such things happen here as well. Seems human nature is the same everywhere.

Fairness and equality is a strong part of our national identiity but that doesn't mean people practice it in their daily lives.
Corruption will happen everywhere. Canada is not immune to it. Look at our federal government. Their corruption is not so much about wealth as it is about power and where it gets distributed.
Don't get too depressed about it. Your education and language skills will lead you to a good job eventually.
