Also regarding the holiday situation, its better than getting nothing. We should all stop being so optimistic about it, as in life we will always have to sacrifice to gain something.

Look at his previous posts. All his posts over the past few weeks have been something related to racism. O_o

I don't know if you are serious or not, but either way I doubt anyone is jealous of us white people. Professional immigrants landing jobs Canadian educated people are not able to is a fault in the system, nothing to do with jealousy.

The Pharma clerk at a Hamilton Shoppers drug mart is a Gold Medallist Masters In Chem Engineering from India, a few others are working at steel/chemical mills as 14/hour low level workers.

Canada couldn't survive without low skilled immigrants. I know plenty that came to Canada who have been working in factories for many years, worked their way up though. And it's shown throughout Canadas labour history as well.
Yes there are some people who have a Masters in Nuclear Science and can't get a job in Canada, but don't worry Canada is making the accreditation process easier

People cannot move here for labor jobs anymore because they will fail the points system. In fact, Canada won't even give immigrant status to PhD's who've done their education here. The system is crap.
http://www.borderconnections .com/points-system.html
Once the immigrants get here, their education abroad is seen as "lesser" and their foreign work experience is no longer recognized. This is primarily the reason why you see immigrant engineers working low end labor jobs or immigrant dentists at best finding dental technician jobs. Another reason is because they often come with family and need to find work within first year to support their family.
Immigrating here is a *****, that's all I have to say. /rant

The immigration process is loooong too. My parents started discussing it when I was about 4 or so, but it took about 5 years to jump through all the hoops.
