Dear All,
It took me more than one month to get a survival job here in Canada.
First, as I thought when I came from New Delhi, India I got the cultural shock.
Native white people here are mannerly, polite and very humble.
Unlike the place I have been from, you will find a totally different approach to the civilized and well mannered society.
Even people unknown to you doesn't hesitate in wishing you hello.
Secondly, if you hired an immigration consultant please don't follow them blindfolded.
I got a bad experience even after paying INR80,000 for the gold package I paid to W***S based at Phase 6 Mohali, Punjab.
They offered a shared accommodation with single people who are working there in survival jobs. The address they offer you is different from what they offer when you reach there. They offered me an apartment in Mississauga but on reaching there they dumped me in a down town area with four more people to share with.
Third and most important thing is that don't think that the consultant will help you in getting a job even if they commit so. Their assistance means just verbal words and when you reach there they will send you a word document with the job openings that you can easily find relevant to your field on net yourself easily.
Government of Canada accepts our qualification and experience and offer us the PR to go there and work. But the native people don't entertain our qualifications as we immigrants are a good source of real cheap labor for them.
In third world, labor is underpaid. Only difference here is that unless you don't attain a good experience and education qualification locally, it's real tough to get in the local job market.
Fourth, don't rely on your immigrant consultant on financial issues. He advised to open an account with Scotia bank. They charged me an additional $5 for some insurance plan on the credit card they offered per month. It is because the local banks have tie up with the consultants and they act as a tout to refer clients to them. Every bank here now offers a credit card even if you are a landed immigrant. Don't believe on anyone because he was from your country. Mostly people from same origin are the one who cheat the most. TD and RBS are the top banks here.
Last piece od advise do extensive job search and find where can you find maximum job opportunities. Just try to figure out on a particular province and check for incentives government provides when you land there.
Now-a-days Alberta is fast developing and has the maximum job opportunities. Still try to search online and then only decide.
Get a survival job the moment you enter. Try to approach the employers, recruitment agencies and do net search. I was an automotive technical trainer with twelve years of experience and now I am working as a mechanic for 11$/hours. My friend who was a professor hasn't got employed yet. He was a doctorate and still looking for a survival job.
Initial one or two years are most toughest. But once you are determined, slowly things will start settling down.
I will keep you all updated but be prepared for some really tough time many of you have never encountered before.
