It is expected in the future that the Canadian government to be honest in expressing their need for immigrants.
After becoming one, looking for jobs, and returning to my own country, my conclusion is that what you guys need are not skilled workers immigrant. You need anyone who is willing to be paid minimum wage, live just about the poverty line, and keep quiet when the companies treat you as modern world slaves.
What´s up with the 4-years experience requirement when almost all Canadian companies only ask for Canadian experience? We just arrived, how the hell are we supposed to get Canadian experience?
Who are those non-English-speaking immigrants work in food courts and fast food restaurants when Canada asks for an IELTS mark of 7?
Are we supposed to flush our degrees down to the toilet because all you ask is Canadian degree? Then why do you ask for a minimum bachelor degree to get points in immigration point system?
Be honest, all you need are people who are willing to work lousy jobs with meager income that white Canadians don´t want to do. Period.

I am not a Canadian immigrant and i am waiting my PR for long time. It took me three years to get some Canadian experience and know how about the job market. I think Apron if you are looking the same back home job and position, then you have to spend years because people who already has local market experience can serve better than any new arrival.
Don´t be disappointed and try again.

I am an immigrant my self, I came to Canada when I was 17 with $200 in my pocket and a student permit.
I graduated from the University of Alberta and work like a horse for 15 years, no holidays for straight 15 years except one time I took 3 days off. (I am not kidding)
I sold my company and retired at the age of 34.
This country has been GREAT to me and my family. Things don´t happen for a reason, we have to make them happen!
Cheers,
Bill

Gee Bill I thought you would be more my age, 18 LOL
Since 2002 I would be lucky to have one day off. Some think there is no problem when there is a serious one. Others think every silly thing is a problem and will call late at night, on Sunday etc.
My business is basically In-Land business where everyone wants to stay in this country and they fight not to leave even when they are told go home and I´ll bring you back sometimes they go underground.
Then there are those Dimple people who show up every so often on this forum who thinks life should be different for them. Are they willing to work like you did?

Hello Apron (in reply to: at least be honest)
According to Roy´s Psichology you should shut up and be happy with your demoralizing 8 dollar per hour job.This is the Canadian attitude I have been criticizing. Roy is an immigrant himself appereantly but he decides to be part of the hipocresy gang because inside of himself he knows that is the game they want him to play. This way he will be more accepted by canadian society: Playing the game they want him to play.
I do agree that what they need is non-skilled immigrants.

instead of your endless bitching, what would you suggest CIC do to change this situation?
1) what do you suggest be done about people coming along on a skilled worker application or sponsorship application that do not speak either english or french?
2) someone has to work at the $8 and hour jobs. who would you suggest that should be? students, people with no skills or poor education... who else?
3) how is Canada any different that the US, Australia, UK in this regard?

Pete & Bill : I suppose you 2 are Caucasians, aren´t you? No wonder it was easy for you guys.
Sharon : Oh yeah Australia pays reasonable minimum wage, even for low-level jobs. While prices are low in the US, do notice that even some Canadians go across the border to do shoppings.
Ahoy people, I am not complaining, I don´t give a damn about what has happened. I just want people to rethink before making a big decision and to see the other side of the stories. I was looking for good stories myself, and avoiding the bad ones. And here I am.
Case closed.

i´m very thankful to this country. even i´m illegal here . i was able to find a job under the table for $10 long time ago, now i\m making $17 tax free, if i have my papers i could make $25 or more,but ce la vie and i´m not really sorry if i took someone else job, because your government don´t really care about own hardworking citizens ,the government more care about canada image on international stage, build more schools and roads in Afghanistan so talliban has something to destroy,or you name it...etc. so please keep paying your taxes to support other hopeless nations ,start prepare your retirement ,stay healthy because Canadian health care system going down.
live is not fair!!!

Yup, Australia pays a good minimum wage and what is the cost of living there? I understand a hamburger and fries is $20. So, that $20 wage really means nothing.
Cross boarder shopping goes both ways. I do it myself - for selection, not price.
