mrdrs said:hi everyone.. i'm new on this thread, but as i read some of your posts, correct me if im wrong, most of you if not all of you are Canadian Immigrant Applicants under Technically Skilled Applicants, right?
I was one of you before and I was one of the luckiest applicant 'coz it took less than 2 years (from the orientation day of application up to landing here in Canada with Landed Permanent Resident status..) to be here in Canada... it takes lots of courage, money and determination...
Ths is not to disaapoint you, but rather to give warning or to tell the "real thing" happening here... all your "qualiffications" will allow you to land here in Canada... but... those will be useless when you start using those to apply a job. I'm under NOC 2232 qualification but all hiring managers here will ask you if you had a "Canadian Experience" with regards to your area of specialty... if none, you're done... very few who got lucky to be hired as their proffesion here.. to be competetive, you will have to "upgrade" your proffesion by going back to school which is very expensive here. You can have "Student Loan" - payment for your schooling and allowance for you while attending school, but after school, you have to "volunteer" to have a "Canadian Experience"... so, by the time you landed on your "dream job" here, you're on a deep debt...
What im trying to tell you is that don't expect to have your dream job here right after you landed here... there are so many Landed Internationally Trained Proffesionals here working as a "cleeaner"... prepare your self for worst scenario here... you cant here these things from CIC...
Good luck everyone....
Agree with you.+1 for that. But it is a fact that no matter wherever you go, you initially you have to go through hardship, and by initially I mean minimum 2-3 years for sure. If we start discussing this issues it is going to be a never ending debate.
P.S.:
Before coming to Canada: Canada is my Dream land.
After few months of coming to Canada: My home country is my dream land.
