the link u gave isnt opening... but i agree with you to a certain extent... especially to people who would require to acquire certifications to bridge the gap, i think its called regulated jobs.. and i think most of the people here and open to RISK of not finding a job for sometime.. and at the same time.. OPTIMISTIC that thy will get it...sooner or later... struggle is part of anybodys life... on a equal note, we should not get disheartened by reading few -ve experiences as there are equally +ve experiences.. to share...1st-Observer said:[size=10pt]Thank you for getting the discussion started.
Off course there a tonnes of jobs posted on that ghost website, so what is actually happening on ground?
From the information I have gathered so far, I find reasonable evidence to suspect that it depends on your FIRST and LAST names. See below:
canadianimmigrant.ca/community/integration/an-immigrants-struggles-in-canada
newseastwest.com/dont-make-the-mistake-of-migrating-to-canada-its-a-fools-paradise/
I can send hundreds of links, including a recent bill proposal which, if it succeeds, will prohibit employers from refusing employment by using the "Canadian experience" clause, a systematic discrimination in the employment market.
Besides you can also ask sincere landed friends, and post your responses here. I'm sure they'll tell you about the massive government advertisement, "Employ an immigrant", that falls on stone deaf eyes.
What am I trying to say? Simply put, read the above links - focusing on the comments where you'll always find truth, then you'll be dismayed as to why we are refusing to even discuss these issues here. I earlier referred to this as a recurrent plague that must now be eradicated from this forum.
Please discuss with landed friends and keep posting your comments here.
As for myself, I'm a Software Engineer working in the EU and I am afraid to resign my job, this decision was made after talking to a sincere landed friend and carrying online research by myself. You can also Google with keywords and you'll find research articles outlining how the response from employers reduce drastically when Asian/Middle Eastern/African sounding names are substituted on resumes relative to English/American/European sounding first and last names.[/size]
but your inputs will definitely prepare people to be well aware of the consequences.. and will make us think of alternate solutions.. plan b, plan c and plan d... please share latest links and inputs... would be intrested to read and prep up my self well...
