It's easy to discredit an article by picking a few pieces and reinforcing one's personal opinions based on cherry picked lines. Let's be honest here, they tried to keep that article smoother than the reality is. People end up doing hospitality jobs out of being left with no choice. And that industry was hit badly.It is bad that people are leaving Canada but who are these people? Folks whose job is in a highly saturated industry. If you need to survive in Canada or any other country, you need to be highly skilled ( skills on par with the job market), an effective communicator, decent exposure to the Western world, and loads of patience. With just Bachelors's in Engineering, you don't expect a high-paying job in Canada unless you have demanding skills. Because you are competing with Engineers who studied in Canada and at times from the US. With a foreign hospitality degree, don't expect a decent job in Canada unless you are an effective communicator. Because you are competing with locals born and bred in Canada. I have seen people complaining about Canada that they are not able to get a job. It is tough but are you qualified enough? I am not trying to belittle anyone, but Canada needs highly skilled labor. At least that will be the case for the next few years. People really need to know top to bottom on their job market and evaluate their skill set. Before coming to Canada, you should be prepared with the right skills coupled with grit and determination. Many don't do any research or even try to update their skillset. Those are the people who are leaving Canada. In short, you need to be able to sell yourself in the job market. Never GIVE UP.
If you think people come here to do hospitality work, your thinking is flawed.
Clearly, you are not in the country.
Now, even highly skilled people who decide to come to Canada from the US do so because only super talented ones can stay back in the US. The average US state university MS candidate fits into that not so talented title. To add to that, I know people from good state universities in Asia currently averaging $180k in the States(overpaid). Sad thing is they can't stay back. They will never make it to the Berkeleys/Stanford/or UCLA.(let alone the Ivy's). They are willing to take a pay cut to live in a first world country and are moving to Canada or Australia. They bring that bogus attitude with them though.
Canada's top engineering graduates(Waterloo) usually find jobs easily in Washington and California. They don't want to work in Canada. There are some exceptions, but the rest are leftovers.
I didn't need to write so much, but the mere fact that you thought people with hospitality degrees moved here, and then couldn't find employment makes it a total waste of my time to even consider writing.
Seriously, you think people come here with hospitality degrees to find hospitality jobs ? Lol. They end up doing it to sustain themselves. They bought into the dream.
Don't say people don't do their research. You may be working in the tech field(in demand at the moment) and are concluding that those struggling are poor researchers/ or are less qualified.
You my friend are full of yourself, and deserve nothing less than a red carpet entry on arrival in Canada along with a diamond studded laptop case.
