Keep in mind there are almost no jobs!

well, i think everything has it's purpose. i guess for u, u learned a lot of things about Canada because of ur experience.
We'll try our luck, we didn't sacrifice a lot of things just to quit.

You know the technical answer to this one, but realistically, it is not that easy. I am considering different options, however.

You still avoid answering the question. Realistically, what did prevent you from returning?

You know the saying: "Hope dies last!" ?

I still have my hopes and I am more stubborn than an ordinary person, which is a big mistake.
I just cannot pull back and admit defeat.

This of course costs me a lot (or who knows?) Overall what we call quality of life and happiness are difficult to define. Sometimes you are out of work and you have time for your family and pastimes, other times you have to work hard and even a dream job can be terribly stressful.

These were my thoughts when I was 23, but now I am ready to sing a different song.
Overall, I am happy to have visited the places that I did. The humiliation and desperation can, however ,be unreal.

If you are ready to wave good by to the fees you've paid and the airplane tickets and if you have a set plan in mind, (like you go back after 5 or 10 years of trying to break the wall) you should be OK.

I have seen people pay their immigration fees only to visit Canada, take a look and go back never to return again.

What a looser you are...If you are not able survive in Canada then you are looser. If you are a Citizen then you must be getting unemployment benefit ..free medical and many thing.. unlike other countries they don't starve you to death.. you get all support from government.. I guess u never been to Canada and never ever visited this country..


and you mentioned in your earlier post that you don't want to associate with USA. wot a joke..

Info,
i dont stand any unique. only reason is i already have north american experience. I did MBA and Masters in civil engg both from US and working in US for last 5 years. I do have a US engineering professional license but i dont have canadian license so i have applied for it. All regulated professions needs license. There is not much difference between usa and canada in terms of working culture and ethics, so thats my edge i dont deny. My other 2 friends with me got their offers already too and they already joined in Calgary.

Still i say Canada is doing much better economically. i am telling for only civil engineers as its oil and gas related. for degrees and experience outside north america one has to go through lengthy and expensive processes to bridge the gap which still dont guarantee a job. I have some friends who are educated and worked outside north america and they facing lot problems. But i can guarantee that for any civil engineers with work experience from USA will not have much problem securing similar jobs in Canada.

But for others its not the end of the world, it has nothing to blame on Canada. People take the chances and risks to come here rite? here 90% jobs come through network and references no matter how much skilled the person is. If some person keeps applying on internet job sites he is only trying his 10% luck in job hunting even if he/she applying for 100 jobs per day. The best thing what i have seen is to talk to the company directly or call the recruiter who can put the resumes in front of the hiring managers.

You are asking me the same question twice and both times you do not come across as very civil.

I am in Canada and as I mentioned I have been here for the past 9-1/2 years.

To me survival is not related to your physical existence. I do fine there. It is really tough on my mind and soul.

Immigrants are basically faced with many of the difficulties soldiers encounter as occupiers. It is hard to read the minds of people, difficult to tell what they think, even more difficult to joke with them.

Your only belief and hope is that you offer knowledge that is going to be valued and appreciated and it will put you among people that you understand better. Since, as I already mentioned, the score based system is deceiving, most of you will have to work with teenagers that smoke marijuana and use F* and S* words on a regular basis. You will tough it out for a month, two a year or even two, but just like a soldier your mind will suffer.

It is not a matter of how strong YOU are. It is a matter of opportunities. Just because all 2,000,000 unemployed people in Canada are well educated, young and committed to succeed does not mean they will succeed. There are only so many jobs out there. I hope you get my point.

I observe that you avoid answering a simple question. My thought is that you don't have any. You don't know what to answer.

The question has been already answered.

Read carefully my post 2 on page 1.

You will notice that I did have a job for about 3 years, I did hope to find another similar job for another year, I relocated (4,000km+ away) to a totally different place to try my luck again. Another two years were wasted in hopes of being promoted internally. Then another two years of retraining and hopes of a different job. I never failed a job and I never failed an exam.

Before you realize it is time to move again, it is almost too late.

Please be so kind and show that answer to me. Alternatively, copy paste same again.
I will repeat the question:

What, if anything, in Canada did prevent you from returning back to where you came from?

why you stressing him, he has answered he still has hope........

 

[info-gc]

Just changed previous post. Hope it provides all details you are looking for.

 

[canada0801]

why you stressing him, he has answered he still has hope........

No, i ask him a valid question. If i came to Canada (or any other country) from where i fared decidedly better then i would simply return to my country of origin without hesitation unless there was some compelling reason preventing me from doing what would make most sense under circumstances he describes.
If this poster is indeed genuine, as he claims, i wonder why didn't he simply buy return ticket or just get out of Canada if he doesn't think it's worthwhile to be there?

Hmm... not a Canadian... Intentions not clear... if you are with 'immigration restriction' groups (which i really think who you are) then you would fare better if you were honest about your true intentions and views.

buddy take it easy. its not easy for someone to return where he came from. please show some guts and if he has been through tough situation we need to help him morally or whatever way we can. even his story and experience is helping others so they know in advance what to expect. he must have come to canada with all his life savings and after spending 10 years how can somebody return. our fellow friend just needs a moral boost up. good luck to him.
