I found a scary website.Please tell me its not true.
We have an application in for Canada but I found a website that has now made me think twice. Please someone tell me its not as bad as they are making it out to be. The website is www.*********.com. It is saying that you shouldn't immigrate to Canada because there are no jobs over there and that British qualifications are not recognised out there so doctors end up driving cabs and lawyers are delivering pizza! Can anyone put my mind at rest. We desperately want to go.

Re: I found a scary website.Please tell me its not true.
Let's put it this way. Are you really going to base your life's path on some website you find on the internet (including this one)? Or are you going to research what is best for you and your circumstances (job, family status, age, life priorities) and then make an informed decision? No one can tell you what will happen or work best for you. Sorry, it's not the easy answer, but that's life.

Research, research, research is all you need to do. My wife is a Physio and following some accreditation of her qualifications she has secured a job subject to a basic competency exam. Lawyers struggle to get their qualifications agreed because each country is different. Lost of skills are transferable but most professions are fairly protectionist so you will have to prove your worth. There are lots of jobs depending on where you are going and what you want to do. The internet is a great research tool so.............................
Good Luck

Well, you can tell what the powers that be here think of that site by the fact that its been filtered! (IIRC for repeated spamming of this site) Im guessing it looks like *********.com
Yes, there are bitter and twisted disenfranchised immigrants who have had a tough time out there. If you let in 250000 a year, they cant all be happy can they now?
Maybe they expected the world to owe them a living and didnt do there homework about the way qualification are recognised in the workplace here. Maybe they were unlucky, maybe they were taken for a ride by unscrupulous consultants?
Most immigrants do not have such a bad time. Fear not. Do your research, and come with your eyes open to the reality of life here. Doctors who come here and then cry cos they are not recognised have clearly not done the first bit of research about the requirements to practice medicine here. Yes there are protectionist work areas here, and for good reason, but the requirements are not secret, and they are not closed shops, you just need to look into things in advance, which you are doing.
