Job Hut – Helping your find your Dream Job

I came across this website – www.notcanada.com – which states that many immigrants come to Canada and are disappointed since they cannot work in thier chosen profession primarily due to lack of Canadian experience and qualifications. Many also say they have been cheated to believe that many white collar jobs exist and end up driving taxis and sweeping floors. I was considering moving to Canada, but so many people have come back from there and all cannot find their chosen jobs despite being born and educated in Canada with degree level qualifications. Is this really the reality of the situation? Some have even said the taxes in Canada are insane and even with a relatively decent job, it is impossible to save money, is this all true? It is quite a stark contrast to the USA where money literally grows on trees and there are excellent jobs for everyone, and now I’m seriously thinking it wouldn’t be worthwhile going to Canada, and perhaps I should try going straight to the USA.

Being a Canadian, I can safely say that jobs are indeed difficult to come by for educated people in Canada. There are many menial, semi-skilled and unskilled jobs – as such there are lots of JOBS as such, but hardly any jobs for the highly skilled and educated. Having graduated about 2 years ago with an MBA from one of the top universities in Canada, I was unable to secure any decent job within that period. Even universities admit that more than 50% of their placements are actually in the United States, without which they would have a poor placement rate. There are far too many graduates being produced by Canadian universities for their own economy to absorb – I am a fine example – let alone foreign graduates! The truth which most Canadians don’t want to acknowledge is that there is limited scope here, and, even if you do get a decent white-collar job, your pay and the taxes will leave you with a meagre amount. Basically, put in straight forward terms – it is impossible to become rich in this country! You can try everything you want ranging from business and various different jobs, all have their limitations and after taxes, you are left with peanuts. Of course, many of us say health care and education is ‘free’, but the high taxation rates and VAT commensurate for them of course. However, if you are looking for a safe and secure life for your family, without the greed for making more money and remaining more or less hand to mouth for the rest of your life – come to Canada! I have been running my own trucking business here and its not all that bad, but I would never leave Canada because I’m a proud Canadian. However, please do some research and be warned this is not a ‘paradise’ that most people from Asia and other parts of the world consider it to be!
