Leaving at 3 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds is indeed indicative of impatience to leave home. However artifically staying in the office an hour longer doing tomorrow's workload is likely to lead to a burn out at some point. There is also a risk that other team members may start to systematically outsource work to the most dedicated team member, thinking he has nothing better to do and would not mind extra load, while they are having fun and clubbing.

The bottom point is that everybody has own habits and corporate culture. If you are fine doing unpaid overtime and late departures are welcome in your team, that is great. In our team, however, standing out means finding more efficient algorithms and write programs that will speed up processes. And spending extra hour on a task is not considered standing out in our culture, it is rather viewed as dragging the team back.

I agree with you both but it also shows that their clearly watching every minute of the day till 4pm. I would not say its poor time management but some people like myself like to get in a hour early and leave 30mins after because I get more work done with any distractions.

And it shows that your flexible and if any possible opportunity arises I'm sure you will stand out among the others. I got my perm role because I showed great interest in the job and stayed behind to learn more about it. So being keen and adding in extra hours pays off specially if your contracted

I partly agree with this comment but trust me on this. Since I've moved here I now believe Canadians are not hard workers so us immigrants moving to Canada and working the way we do get acknowledged very quickly for our hard work. And if your a peoples person who is hard working you will move up and ladder very fast. Soon as 4pm hits I noticed my colleagues running out of the office and by 4:15 its empty lol.

I partly agree with a caveat. Most Canadians (hate the broad brush) don't give a flying speck for the number of hours you put in. In my experience, they just wonder whats driving you crazy and can't really figure out. They have a $/hour orientation and do not believe in 'donating extra hours' of of work for 'no apparent gain'. It doesn't really work to one's advantage in the end. When the hour of reckoning comes, there is no subjective perspective on who stayed late to do what, one just gets the pink slip generated by the remote war room. Generally, those who stay late (probably out of pure commitment or old native habits) are perceived to be dim wits. If I think that my hard work, commitment and passion will take me to places, I am probably transplanting my home experience (I am an Asian by the way). It is good to to do your job with within the time allocated and not trying to go beyond. I am not talking about the Bay Street / Wall Street kind of occupations where your performance and reward matrix depends on tangible, quantifiable outcome. Yes, some people get warm embrace for doing those hard yards but beware! They have just found someone who is willing to put in those extra number of hours at zero cost and report with a smile 'Yes Sir, it is complete'. Wouldn't a manager just just love to get someone like that. Your Canadian colleagues just hate it when it happens and for a reasons. My two cents! Just be a smart alec at work and jell well with the team with out having to break your back. Sounds kind of negative, but this is my experience and worked well for me after I changed my track and got smarter. Someone else might have it different and I respect that.

Everyone is different. Maybe its my presence and positive attitude I bring is what got me where I am. But I am a Project Manager and I have some serious deadlines at the moment and if you did not know working for the Government they are very slow in processing things. Well I work downtown so yes were I work is like bay street matter of fact its just round the corner from it.

One thing I will say jobs in Canada pay much better then jobs in the UK I'm making double what I was making in the UK and the benefits are amazing.

Guys, please, I need help. I'm new at this: Canada, finding jobs, Permanent/Non-Permanent working visas...

I'm working as IT consultant, have Master Deggre in Telecommunications and Information Technology, and I had a thought of applying for some kind of working visa for Canada. I do not have relatives or any kind of contacts there. I would probably start from zero.

Is there EVEN possibility for me to apply? What are the chances for me to even be considered in that process? And if there are chances, what is the firs step in that process?

Thanks a lot!

Hello Friends,

Since all major metropolitan areas of Canada (Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary) have become immensely expensive, especially for new comers it is hard to settle down. I suggest small cities, town or rural areas are now better option for new comers if you want to settle down easily.

In small city/town/rural land you have (High rate of employment, Low cost of living, house affordability, life style remain same all over Canada)

I have several years of experience to live in major metropolitan areas such as Toronto & Vancouver. If you are a millionaire for sure go to Vancouver but if you are a new comer, struggling to settle down your family, looking for opportunity to grow than go to small town/rural area.

(This is a million dollar advice which nobody gave to us 12 years ago when we came in this land)

Guys:

I moved to Canada in Sep 2014 on an intra company transfer visa (from US to Canada). Then I got my PR through FSW in Oct 2014. I have been with this employer for the past 6.5 years (mostly in the US). We are looking for Chemical engineering candidates to work in our Burlington office in Ontario (basically Toronto). If you have chemical engineering experience in North America, please send me your resume at anay.raibagkar@gmail.com. Chemical engineers with a background in Process Safety will be a plus.

I am sure your intentions are sincere, but this is absolutely wrong on all accounts.
