So easy for Third Worlders? Why?

[brucem]

This makes me laugh, the other day I ordered a double double, I was a few km down the road before I realised they had given me a double double TEA. Must have been the first day on the job, it wont take them long to work out there is only one double double at Tim Hortons. I still visit the store multiple times a day though.

Yeah it definetely didnt stop me, I'm getting Timmies withdrawal at the moment. Can't be the greatest job either as I've seen them getting a fair bit of abuse from people.

Let me just warn you, you're gonna have a very, very hard time with the history PhD . . . those people are pretty sensitive to nuances like 'ethnic' and whatnot . . . and they might, as emamabd did, have an unfortunate tendency to bring up England's history of violent, acquisitive colonialism . . .

I am impressed to see the term "third world countries" from a PhD in history. It is like a PhD in afro-american studies calling black people "negro".

And apart from ethnic sensitivities, job market for PhDs is tiny in Canada.
As soon as there is a lectureship/professorship in a canadian university, dozens of US PhD holders apply for it as US produces an overwhelming number of PhDs who cannot find the job inside the country. And they will be prioritized over European PhDs. Even in the lowest ranking canadian unversities you can find Ivy League graduates among staff.
As a PhD myself, I attended job market conferences in Canada and spoke with one very promising PhD job market candidate who had 4 job interviews that day. And guess what? He did not get a single offer in Canada - he ended up in Aberdeen (UK). Good for him - any job offer after PhD is a blessing.

My son in law works for a hotel that employees workers from Barbados . They have been coming for years,until this year with the cancellation of the foreign workers program ended. They advertised here in Canada and they didn't get one reply. These Third
world workers as you so call them , work hard , and rely on this income for their families back home.

From one Brit to another oh no i'm Welsh i would take a Third world worker over any Brit because i can't put up with the BS attitude of the high and mighty Brit .The reason the U.K. is in a mess is because so many are on Government benefits and they think they are entitled to it . As for History , did you not read about what they did to the India people . There is times when i am not proud of my country what so ever.

I am Canadian live in Mexico married to a Mexican. I don't know if Mexico is quite 3rd world but it has a ways to go. I am sponsoring my husband and I certainly don't think the process is easy at all. It's long, confusing at times and frustrating. I think each application based on different categories is assessed on their own merits. I don't think it's easy at all really for anyone.

Because England has an open door immigration policy, and our last socialist government made a concentrated effort to make us multicultural. Anyone can come and live in the UK no problem.

To move to places Like Canada and the US, I was under the impression it was hard. Well for educated Europeans it is...

Which delusion of an England were you living in? I lived in England for 3-4 years, and even working for a reputable multinational organization like Barclays Bank, earning a decent salary and paying a decent amount of tax and NICs, Barclays weren't able to sponsor me for a work permit due to it being so hard under current UKBA rules, so I had to leave after my open work permit (post study work visa) expired. England has a very strict and closed door immigration policy. Currently, there is NO route for skilled workers to come to the UK to work without sponsorship by a company, and the sponsor company has to prove to the UKBA that they couldn't find an EU employee with the same credentials. So yeah, tough luck bypassing all that to get into the UK. The highly skilled migrant program (HSMP) and Tier 1 General were scrapped years ago.

Tier 2 work visas are capped at less than 20,000 per year, so you can imagine how less of a limit each sponsor company has. Anyone CANNOT come to the UK and live there without problem. You certainly have very little knowledge of how the immigration system works in your own country.

To Canada (CIC), it is irrelevant whether you are European or Asian. Same rules apply to both. Same points based systems. If you are eligible through the system, you are eligible, regardless of continental ethnicity. You are not judged by CIC for the colour of your skin. And yes, it is hard. The 'third worldlers' you see are usually either highly skilled migrants, or family/spouse based sponsors.

Maybe you will have an easier time finding a work sponsor if you started displaying some Canadian values. In fact, you do not even seem to display English values at all. No 'white' I knew back in England would talk like this, or even consider calling me a derogatory term like 'third worldler'.
