Re: Had it with this place - do not move here
I'm not blaming Canada for the crap I'm in - it's the ridiculous legislation that Service Canada is inventing thats making it impossible to get a job.
And I repeat, Canadians are a fair bunch overall. I always found them to be polite, no problem. It's just the damm minority in important jobs that act like grey cells have gone out of fashion that piss me off.
If you change the way the LMO works, e.g.
Have one LMO for one type of industry instead of just one firm, then another LMO to cover hospitality jobs and so forth, it would be far easier and cheaper to pay people E.I for god knows however many months they are out of work.
But you know what, I am getting E.I for 40 weeks and I dont even have to get out of bed to receive it. Okay, it's not quite what I was getting at my old firm but if they want to play the game, then f**k it, lets play.
I wonder how many Canadians would say, "give him a job just to get him off E.I and stop poncing off the government".
But while us us immigrants have to pay $150 each time we need an LMO, then of course Service Canada will be laughing at us. After all, we are just dumb immigrants who know jack shit.
Remember the 2005/7 boom when Service Canada were giving away work permits like lollipops? They couldnt get enough Asians and Chinese to fill menial jobs - now the country has gone tits up, they are treated like shit.

There seems to be no shame in Canada for collecting EI when its not warranted. I've met loads of able bodied people who get seasonal work so they can collect the dole in the winter and bugger off fishing or surfing. No wonder this place is as crap as it is. No shame.

People deal with crises differently, just because some people cope in a manner you approve of doesn't mean to say you have carte blanche to trash anyone that doesn't. Offer advice, debate, put your point of view, but all this meanness? It's not needed nor helpful.

If TWPs were not job specific then people would hop from job to job and the firm that took a chance on hiring a foreign worker in the first place loses out. If you have found another job similar to the old one, then apply for the LMO and get another TWP, unless of course you cant because there are people with PR or citizenship available to do the job.
TWPs exist soley to help the canadian economy fill jobs that need filling. They are designed to PROTECT the canadian work force from being undercut by immigrant workers. To get one there has to be a demonstrable need. The TWP does not exist for the workers benefit, its temporary, just like the name says.
Right now YOU have a demonstrable need, not the canadian economy, and thats just the system working how its designed too Im afraid. It sucks for you, but the system is exactly the same as it was when you came.
Temporary foreign workers cant really suck the system dry of resources as they system will only pay out for so long, based on what the worker paid in. Its not indefinite until you find work Im afraid. I wouldnt waste the (40 weeks?), cos its no picnic out there, you may well need all that and more to find another job that can secure a LMO in the current economy.

Who is/was CC?? I presume you are hinting that the OP is the same person?

CC made their point, why would they come back? There isnt much to add to it.

Re: Had it with this place - do not move here
Read my post again Iain, I made NO accusations. I was merely pointing out one poster disappears another appears, my ACTUAL thoughts were that the two have been in contact via PM and are operating as a tag team.

Re: Had it with this place - do not move here
Two posters unhappy with their employment situation in Canada, posting in the same thread. Surely it MUST be a conspiracy!
Oh, hang on, it's a thread about dissatisfaction with Canada, so maybe its not...
seems to a lot of those of late!

Very true, i have a number of friends that are underemployed. There's not much out there at the mo.

At last - here I was thinking I am the only one with a problem with Canada. If you are a temporary foreign worker like me, right now - you are screwed.
And would you believe I heard there is even a recession the UK!! My husband is a Canadian and he is out of work, has been since October 2008, he has applied for all kinds of positions, and at the point he will consider anything but he's not had much luck. On the other hand, I am not yet even a landed immigrant, but I am a foreign temporary worker and I have managed to find temporary work! It isn't Canada's fault that you are in the position you're in!
