Agridulce...

Quería compartir con ustedes un artículo que escribí para
mi clase de inglés:




Sweet and sour taste of Immigration in Canada: an extensive evaluation of competences, poor opportunities to apply them.

Canada and Australia lead worldwide the first place in high-develop skill working immigration systems. More than 30,000 officials in 30 countries, work hard to choose the best candidates with high-level professional education (mostly university’s alumni), dig in their criminal background and carefully check the candidate’s health. But when it’s time to integrate them to the labour market, newcomers find a high barrier and almost no possibility to pass it at the first try: Canadian experience and technological transfer. That term relates to the process passed by a person to adequate their competences to a new work reality. In some fields, transition is very easy: its only matter to refine language skills in Canada’s official languages. These careers are mostly involved with IT (Information Technologies). Others like health or law take more than 5 years and few places available with more than 30,000 CAD spent. Money and time factors are not the only ones which play disadvantageously in this problem: when Canada makes grow their population, exponentially increases people needs that raise services demand.

In fact, also they have been raising the amount of people able to respond to this demand, but the tech transfer process is running slower than the quicker demographic growing. There are not enough infrastructure and resources consecrated to evaluate and integrate newcomers to their professional fields. In the meantime, Canada receives high-level skill people and keeps them in the country as professionals without motivation; sub employed who stay in the country only for personal safe issues and respect for their human rights and the opportunity to give their children a better quality of life and raise them to the position to achieve the goals that the Canadian system denies to themselves to prove.

Dear Alexandria, your article was excellent and very realistic.

First of all, excuse my very poor english (I am a novice english student)...

Well. You've wrote an excellent review about the crude reality of canadian immigration: the search for the perfect job.

Many immigrants think that if once in the "promised land of milk and honey" the dream job isn't found within a maximum period of one year, "the process can be considered a complete failure", however, other people don't think so: while those who feel losers resign and wait for a kind of miracle, others continue sacrificing themselves and improving their skills trough study and learning as part of its fight relentlessly.

I think that those who reach a high level of skills has greater opportunities than others. But that's not enough. I know that the success in finding a decent job also requires a bit of luck.

So far I have not heard anybody say that it has found the best job without first having worked in some canadian experience oriented lower-level jobs.

I don't mind work in a menial job if i'm able to satisfy my family's basic needs and pay my children's studies at a good college to succeed in having a good future.
