Hi,
I'm very happy to know that this kind of site exists on the net.
I am an experienced business development consultant and have recently been granted permanent residency in Canada. Last week, I went to Toronto on a "fact finding mission". I stayed there for a week only to get disappointed with Canada.
Canada's job market is completely closed up to a newcomer. I bet the situation is the same for some born Canadians as I knew some of them trying to look for a job outside of Canada.
I was shocked to find that there is a hypocrisy at the governmental level. Inviting professionals to the country where companies or organization (even provincial government) are barring overseas professionals from entering their work force in their fields. Under the seemingly legitimate words, "Canadian Experience", they are basically practicing discrimination against an outsider, no matter how qualified he or she may be professionally. As far as I know, this is the only country in the civilized world that would ask for such a thing. There is no such thing as "American Experience", "British Experience", "Australian Experience", "New Zealand Experience", "German Experience" or "Japanese Experience". (By the way, I have a living experience in both the US and the UK and know people living and working in Australia and New Zealand.)
I finally understood why Canada was the least popular place for immigration. I was basing this on the weather factor, but I realized that it was actually the nature of hiring practice in this country which has deterred many immigrants (professionals) from coming to this place. This in turn led me to believe that Canadian companies are practicing "nepotism" or hiring from within only. From this reason, Canada should be designated as a Third World country. Also, from its protectionist character, the Canadian economy could be the least vibrant of all the western countries and is lagging behind many other economies.
I was worried even before this trip that there might be no job prospect for me in Canada, since although I sent in so many inquiries and resumes to nearly 100 recruitment agencies (not companies), none of them gave me a response, except for two or three, who simply told me to look at the job postings on their websites. The job of the recruitment or placement agencies is to help those looking for a job explore the opportunity in the job market. These agencies simply forgot why they exist in the business and threw away their responsibilities. I found it very hard to understand this, and it was really difficult to even hold meeting with them even though it's not a job interview!!
Now that I know I was right about what I had been worried about, I decided not to make a permanent move to Canada. I returned to where I made my application for immigration to Canada. I am now preparing to file application to move to the UK, while keeping an option for Australia. At least, by then, I would be better off in my old country.
