It is written in my AOR...
 

I want chris alexander saying which was published in gazette. I dont have AOR neither PER has this
 
hello my friends..so happy to be here after a long long time...i just wanted to share my experience with you guys...pardon me if my words hurt anybody...I landed here in may this year. I had a well settled job with Indraprastha gas limited delhi as a deputy manager-pipelines and earning about 70000 pm. Since i landed i had 6-7 interviews but all failed bcoz they want canadian experience.Getting a Professional Eng license is important but it is very difficult, coz you have to write exams and need to have atleast 1 yr of canadian exp. so i applied for a masters degree here but my application was rejected. I had my last interview in august. So i decided to take up some part time job to make my ends meet, i worked as a cashier with safeway for 2 months and then as a delivery driver with UPS for 2 months. i left the UPS job 2 weeks ago n now just hope to get a job by jan otherwise will have no option but to return back coz my funds are drying out and i have a child nearing 4 yrs who needs to go to school soon. If i put him to playschool now it would cost me 200 pm...way out of my reach. Many times i wonder i did a big mistake coming here, leaving my govt job and just played around with my career. i did my graduation from NIT jalandhar but nobody knows anything about that. After 7 months of struggle i have realised that canada is not for us professionally experienced engineers, but for skilled laborers, most of our people here do these jobs like driving city buses,taxis, warehouses,painters,carpenters,cleaners etc. Only those with an engg degree from canada are doing respectful jobs. I have seen an mba from uk (a punjabi) working as a driver with UPS. Literally i left that job heartbroken as i had to lift more than 70 kgs many times all the day for just 19 dollars per hour and that too in this harsh snow. life in canada is really very hard for us new immigrants...as we are not prepared to do such hard labor jobs....

Hello Admins.,

3rd line added in ECAS yesterday.
Please update the spread sheet.
 
Friends,

I have received CoRP (together with Visa stamped in passport) from SGVO ...

in the CoRP of my wife and son, there is a section named 'Dependent's section'

and the question was written as:

Have you any dependents other than those listed below?

then my UCI number, my name and my date of birth

(same info written in both of my wife's and son's 'dependent's section'..

well, the confusion is that, I am (the principal applicant) not their dependent, rather they are my dependent.


anyone can clarify my confusion?

Thanks a lot in advance

That is quite concerning, but hopefully its nothing.
I would raise an email inquiry.
 
Hi guys,

As this forum has been of great help for me during my immigration process,so i want to share my findings about canada life for new immigrants.


I agree with what our forum member dhanoa9015 has said about hard life in canada.

I got a good job in my very first month, nothing great but i was lucky that i had some IT skills which worked in my favor in getting a good paying job.

First i will discuss about good things( which are very few) and then bad things which are more.

Good things:

Country is very clean and girls are beautiful (you literally see girls from all over the world if you are in toronto) and night life is awesome , but trust me after few months we get bored with this party life.



Bad things that i have noticed:

1) employers are absolutely racist when it comes to hiring, unless you are too good with your technical skills and they badly need you then only they hire you provided they dont find a local so called western guy. Its good if you have a western name so you atleast get a interview call!!


95% of immigrants are being used only for low paying jobs here like security gaurds, hotel staff and so on. that too after facing lot of compeition from local college students who also compete for part time jobs. mostly we dont even get part time jobs as we are all over qualified:)


Truck drivers make good money here than a software enginner or any other white collar job!!! but truck driving messes your family life. But a good option to people who just need money and nothing else.


2) job market is absolutely small, its absolutely no comparision comapred to usa.


3) i am noticing 90% of immigrants getting only low paid jobs and they get to make hardly 50 or 60 thousand indian rupees when converted to indian currency after all taxes.


4) This so called canadian experience to get a job here is all crap. They are just making people do courses here so govt can make money.very few get clerical jobs here even after spending 9000 to 10000 Canadian dollars as college fees to get local certifications. And the salaries are too low for jobs considering 30 percent money gets sukked by government as taxes.


mostly they give only part time jobs , and they may ask you to leave anytime


5) Doctors are much better in india when compared to dumb doctors here. the so called free medical care in canada is not very useful reality. health care is all game here.


6) for anyone in india specially wife and husband working in decent paying jobs in india ( making 40k or 50k indian rupees each), trust me think twice before you want to move to canada as this job market just sucks for immigrants and they will rarely hire non locals in decent paying jobs, forget about high paying jobs.



7) not a place for young kids as this country is so free life that kids will end up only enjoying and nothing serious in life, smoking is so common here among kids and it really makes me feel bad.



8) employers and mentors talk very friendly as if they will help you, but be assured they will never offer a job if you are not a white or a local born. people may get a good job after 4 or 5 years after you waste all your savings that you made back home.

I know few of my fellow immigrants who got decent jobs in first two months but the percentage i see is only very very less percentage of people getting jobs what they deserve after spending lots of money for immigration process. ( may be 3 to 5 guys in every 100 immigrants)



9) This country has lot of natural resources, and the economy is surviving just based on those natural resources which this country is gifted with, but in reality jobs market is a mess here and people rarely change jobs here unless they are fired. firing is very very common in jobs here, unless you work with very good indian companies which never fire emplyees.



10) i would say this contry is just like a village next to united states, but the only good this is its very clean here.


11) USA never ill treats qualified professionals, they welcome most skillful people from around the world and give jobs, thats how they became super power. ofcourse in last few years usa is messed up because of bad poplitics fighting wars and wasting all their money.

But here in canada people are so egoistic that they never hire talented people because they are scared of their jobs, government is just making millions of dollars here with this smart immigration advertising and all the crap.


12) can you imagine neuro surgeons driving taxis here and they will remain like that for ever in this country.


13) this place is good for refuges who have no safety in their country. not for well educated indians for sure. I will just take my citizenship here and will run away to usa or back to india for sure.


14) even local canadians hate this job market and they will be dying to cross the usa border for getting jobs in usa as its a huge market with lot of jobs.

Note: ignore all my spelling mitakes as i was busy with other works, but i want to share what i am observing in this country which may help. lastly its not my intention to demotivate anyone but just be very careful when you finally get the so called PR.
