Canada is a capitalistic society, so there is a mutual benefit expected, always. Company uses workers, workers use the company.

Then make it right.

​@@MakeThatChangeworkers needs a better econonic life, company needs slaves.

not sure what you mean? you only work for the money, employer only needs you for the labour. If you don't make the money you want, you just go where you can make the money you want.

So you think, let's say, an entry level nurse shouldn't have some experience under her belt (that she received during training)? Would you trust her to start an IV?😊

@@MakeThatChange A nurse that is certified has training under her belt, it’s part of the course. When employers look for experience, they’re looking for it previous jobs as a full fledged nurse, not training. No one who just graduated has experience. So every certified nurse has training to draw blood, check vitals, colect a history, etc… but they’ll never get experience if she never get a job, because the entry level positions ask for 3 years of experience. So if you’re hiring and need a nurse with experience, ask for as many years of experience you want, but don’t try to say it’s and entry level position just because you’re not willing to pay for the what you’re looking for.

@@MakeThatChange Nurse I wouldn't say is entry level.

Thank you for sharing this! Glad it worked out well for you, congrats!

thanks for sharing this. It's is really disappointing to hear stories like this. The bias is real. The best way to overcome that is by networking and building up a reputation locally, which takes time and effort.

​​​@@MakeThatChange Networking needs reciprocation,and having pre-conceived notions about Indian-immigrants coming to the country by the Canadians is for real! Canadians want to have the foreign money to develope their nation,immigrants to fill its labour market wherein Indians fill in the highest bill of all,and then due to some strange racist approaches,many Indians are slogged into hefty,tiresome labour jobs and drained off to their last blood/sweat drop pissing them off the country,adding on huge rentals alongwith discriminative work hours! So Canada needs to fix its ways of double-standards of treating immigrants!

couldn't agree more.

That is true. Contrary to what most people think, employers in Canada are extremely biased & racist. I had enough of this non sense and ended up working for an American company that paid more and eventually starting my own business. Fact of the matter is that they want more immigrants to add to their tax base and keep their GDP & overinflated real estate afloat. Why else is it so easy to move here compared to the US for skilled immigrants.

If I am not mistaken, India has the biggest numbers of immigration in Canada. It might be in the numbers but I can tell you that Canada does have some bias but I dont think is worst tha that for example Brazil, Mexico Morocco, France or Belgium, if you compare to the Swiss it's actually great, so yes not perfect and some horror stories do happen, but is not as horrible as other countries, keep trying and networking and it will work out.

Glad you enjoyed it!

New employees in the training period are quite often "unproductive", or even worse, "counter-productive". They often are a drain of resources. It's understandable that employees want a pay raise once they gain experience. But the employers also need to recoup the wages and training costs during the training period. That's why employers would rather hire experienced workers, instead of hiring new immigrants and new graduates. Because many employers feel that, during the training period, it should be employees paying employers, not the other way around. But this will never be allowed by the labour law. So what can be done? Maybe a government subsidy to reimburse employers?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your message. By no means we are discouraging licensed professionals from coming to Canada, we are managing expectations to make sure they are prepared and set up for success.

@@MakeThatChange Let's see. I'm an engineer (not in the sense of a P.Eng. yet but that title requires Canadian experience at least in Ontario and BC). I've been researching and preparing for years before I came here about 6 weeks ago. So far it's been challenging to land interviews (but it is early on). This video basically confirms what I've been feeling. It's the same arrogance as in Germany (my home country) - everyone needs immigrants, nobody wants them. Which is very much discouraging but eh, I knew it was a real possibility that this could be the outcome of this adventure. The thing I expected the least though is booking a resume review for Canadian immigrants to boost my efforts and then never receiving it. I love this country. It's not without it's challenges but it gets so many things right. End of October is decision day. Till then I'm not giving up on 8 years of dreaming and preparation.

Canada absolutely does not need more engineers. Quite frankly Canada is not an IP based economy and is extremely poor at putting STEM talent to use. Alberta's oil sector absorbed the majority of engineering graduates before that industry crashed. These days engineers are far better off moving to the US, where there is actual work. The quality of engineering schools in Canada is very high, but the quality of engineering employers in Canada is very low. Graduates are being wasted in menial pointless work by employers who are obsolete and irrelevant in the international market.

@@kylefan8478 debatible !!! Engineers do not only innovate and create new IP. The Engineers also implement, install and maintain current technolgy. Civil Engineering create buildings and roads, Chemical Engineers automate processes, helping to filter water, to produce in mass production, Electrical Engineers handle the grid and help in the distribution of hydro. It is true that Canada will always be mediocre in creating and innovating new technology, always behind USA, Germany, Japan. It is true that the Canadian top Engineering Schools will always be behind after Stanford, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Cal Tech, UCLA. It is true that Canada will be always behind in the number of Nobel Laurates in Physics, Medicine, Chemistry … alwasy behind USA. If you say that Canadian Engineering schools are very good … well that is a poor blind opinion. UBC, UToronto, UMcMaster, UWaterloo, UMcGill, these top universities WILL NEVER COMPETE againt UCLA, Stanford, MIT, Cal Tech, Berkley, UColumbia, Yale, Harvard, BrownU, UTexas, UWashington, PennState, UFlorida. Canada has at the most 25 Nobel Laurates, compared to the 75 Nobel Laurates of Harvard or MIT. But the Engineers are always needed. Even if you agree or not. The heavy industry, telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive industry, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, transportation, oil and mining, power generation and distribution, biomedical, biotech, consteuction … all these industries need engineers. And the truth is that all the graduates from Canadian Universities cannot fill the gaps. And please do not take me wrong …but the level of undergraduate engineering schools is also debatible … I recall when a new PEng from Ontario asked me: “Do the people in Latin America squeeze limes into fresh water to kill bacterias ?” On your very good point about te low quality of engineering employers in Canada, currently… I remember the okd days when I used to work for Research In Motion (Blackberry) in Waterloo Ontario. Maybe today is time to let the government Federal and Provincial to drive the economics of the new technology which will help Canada lead the fure os STEM to the future.What was called in the past: Government Driven Technology.

@@leonardohernandez8055 Canadians schools can't compete? what? UofT engineering is stronger than UCLA. Yale is garbage at engineering, Columbia is mediocre at best. Brown, pennstate and Florida is nowhere near UofT/UBC/McGill/Waterloo level. it's not even close. Canadian engineering curriculums are tier for tier far more rigorous than US schools. EngSci at UofT is on par with Caltech. The problems aren't the schools, the employers suck.

I think it will ultimately depend on how the industry is doing ( hiring boom vs not), as well as your professional profile ( experience, your edge/specialty), and most importantly, networking.

Check the link in the description box of this video😊

This is generally less prevalent in hard skill trades(unlicensed) or solo jobs - especially jobs that have a default hard skill training period when you start.

@@MakeThatChange Thanks👍🏻 great channel by the way.

thank you!

thank you! this video is a good place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcphZrJzq5vTXYE.html

We're in Ontario

It’s is, but they’d rather hire someone who’s credentials are easy to recognize rather than do extra work verifying equivalencies 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@MakeThatChange But isn’t that job already done by WES, IQAS, etc.? Employers only have to use the end result.

It takes about this much to reach optimal productivity where a worker can work fully without supervision and excel. This is based on research in regards to skilled professions and knowledge workers. The period would be shorter for lower skilled work.

relationships and networking are critical here

All the best!

This is such a weird comment. Lol

not for them, leave your country for YOU and your future.
