@Madhanee

MQ. Did you read and digest the article? What do you think? Let’s leave your hatred for America aside for a few minutes, tell us about why Canada is not a place would be immigrants thought it to be? Why is it butt of everyone’s jokes? Is it true that most Desis live on welfare in Canada? Let’s see if you can present your views without mentioning America, and in somewhat coherent manner, and not dull to read. Try.

Yes I read the article. You have doubts Madhanee jee? What do I think? I think that when people who are educated overseas arent recognized as qualified people- its a sad case. I know a lot of doctors who have been trying to pass the exams and such for years, yet cant work, even though Canada has a big shortage of physicians. But I also know such people in America who are in the same boat. But over all I have to admit that immigrants here , do have a chance.

True that around 70% of new immigrants have trouble finding work, but it is also true that around 45% of them found work within 6 monthes of arriving to Canada.

Plus who said I hate America? I might not approve of some of its policies but lets not jump the gun here. And the only people who joke about it are Americans -and they laugh at their own jokes. Which is rather sad if you ask me.

And since you brought up Canada, I dont see why I cant bring America into it.

Plus heres something that might interest you.

Immigration changes favour skilled workers

When the federal government introduced new immigration laws in 2002, it made a number of changes that made it easier for skilled workers to come to Canada.

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act places increased stress on education, language ability and skilled work experience. It made it easier for people with a trade certificate or a second degree, and for highly educated younger workers to qualify.

Skilled workers, under the new act: Fall under the economic class of immigrants, which also includes entrepreneurs, investors and the self-employed.

Have professional or technical abilities that are highly sought after or transferable. Sometimes they already have job offers from a Canadian company.

Must meet criteria that give points for education levels, official languages ability and occupational skills. They need at least a year of related full-time, paid experience and enough money to support themselves in Canada.

All in all I must say that immigrants have a higher chance here (than the States) at making something of their lives. Its a matter of getting recognition. And hopefully that will change for the better in the future.
