THINK DEEPLY

[ranjhaaa]

@ Ranjhaaa.
Obviously you are happy here and I am not (yet).
Going back is a solution that I cannot have as I lost my job at home by resigning.
So yes, I have every right to not only criticize but also to caution people who are likely to make the same mistake.
When you burn your savings and have nothing left even to resettle then you will understand.
I do not have relatives to stay with and have a family to support who are not terribly happy with this decision either.

Clear now?
So go on - tell us how you are so apparently well established here?

i arrived in CANADA on 8th dec 2010 for the first time in my life,,,,i lived at my relatives for 5 weeks,,,back home in INDIA i was working with TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES as a software developer,,,,,,i did my b tech in mechanical but then i changed to IT and went to TCS,,,,,

anyway,,i had no Canadian experience before,,,after 4 weeks of traveling and enjoying i decided that now i should get to work,,,,so i applied a lot of jobs and i got one in MECHANICAL factory as an operator

it was tough though but i tried and tried a lot,,,and in first week of MARCH i got a job as a software developer ,,,,,got a contract of one year for CAD$ 42,000 a year

i mean to say that we cannot achieve anything in life if we just sit and criticize everything,,,300 srilankans could never get into CANADA if they stay in their own country ruined by terrorism.Will there be somebody coming to my apartment on a nice day and say ""here sir this is ur million dollar job???"",,,no,,,u have to do yourself.

we cannot achieve anything by criticizing anything,if u want to change a system then be in the system.i landed in an alien country,,,got a job after one month,,,then switched to my own field in good time,,my wife is trying to choose a course for her own,,my daugter is in the school,,,i have rented a decent basement,,,,what else do i want

NOW PLEASE U THINK DEEPLY,,,,,ND PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT I GOT THIS OUT OF LUCK

gud luck

Very Well Said Ranjhaa Bai Ji. you are a perfect example of grabing oppurtunities coming your way. Starting from a scratch is very difficult but certainly not impossible. you can't accept defeat without fighting. My Dear Friend Honolulu please have a deep thought of discourging people. thanks n regards.

 

[Honolulu]

Fair enough Ranjhaaa.
I will continue to complain until I get my position also.
That's because there are several people who are holding on to survival jobs getting way less than they are qualified for.
My caution is for those in well placed positions who left everything imagining Canada to be an instant success like yours.

If I hear more stories like yours than mine I will close the thread happy that things are working well for most skilled immigrants here. Thanks and good luck to you too.

Cant Appreciate you enough Ranjhaaa.....Your success and prosperity says it all...what you have in you buddy....u will go a long way...

Also a special mention to Wicky as well....he/she couldnt have poured his heart out better than this.

I simply fail to understand all these so called " Canada bound Aspirants " , on what basis one migrates ? If Canada was the best and bed of roses country , probably the whole world would reach there leaving behind their Nationalities and benefits. Every place has its own merits and demerits...do the research and Stop Complaining , because in majority of the other countries Nothing Changes even after Protesting and COMPLAINING for more than 50 years.

The worst thing one could do is GO without HOMEWORK and expects the same kind of Senior n well paid job after Landing.
Neither in immigration process nor in any of CIC websites it has been offered , so on what basis one is applying. PRESUMPTIONS ARE THE MOTHER OF ALL BLUNDERS.

It is like Have the Cake and Eat it Too Guys appreciate that they r not only giving us the opportunity to migrate but sharing everything for your family and future which is next to impossible in majority of the countries where we r born n served for ages.

Good Luck to u all. Be Positive and it pays

More to think deeply about
Here is the story of an Electronic engineer with 11 years of experience in China.
She never got a job in her field.

Again, no intention to discourage anyone or detract from those who succeeded.
Only a caution to those who do not survey their job market scrupulously enough.

Here goes

[parulkrish]

I agree with Honolulu,

If you have nice job ( with good Pay), please check with someone who is already in Canada then make decison.

In this topic someone mention that got job within a months as software developer for $40,000 a year,

$40,000 is nothing if you think to settle in Canada.

I am still in this country because i have no good education, if i go to back home i have to do labour job

for labour job canada pay more so most welcome

WOW~ What a thought provoking thread and I congratulate all those who have posted on being objective about their comments. I spent nearly an hour watching the TVO forum on Immigration, then finished reading all the posts to date on the thread. My Dad's parents were immigrants in the early 1900's who settled and farmed in the Prairies. My Mum was a War Bride who came to Canada in the 1940's. I am proud to be a Canadian and I never take it for granted. I know that my relatives gave up things to come to the unknown and worked hard to survive. I hope that every one of you who comes to Canada will find opportunities to flourish and settle in the years ahead. Keep the discussion going.
