I like it!!!! This thread is good... I am not from the US! but it doesn't matter. I agree that many of us are facing difficulties. But can someone here agree with me that "shutting down the country will do no good"? Yes ! Canada is good for kids- 100% agree, I have seen it! Yes! Canada has good Internet /cheap enough Yes! Good transport system, good roads etc. But! Canada has bad HRs-- and here guys, you should trust me. can anyone agree, that once you change your education institution from "Belujistan- I am making the name up :), or Budapesht" to York university as well as changing your name from Shiva, Ahmad, to Robin, Dennis will benefit you at all? I say , yes! As an experiment, I have submitted two resumes from 3 imaginary people, to 10 different companies, previously not even bothered to reply. And guess what? "Dennis McDaniel" Got 3 interviews "Shiva Kannyranghan" got 0 interviews "Kim Ling Chan" got 0 interviews The only differences they had were the names of institutions they have completed and the names of companies previously worked. The Dennis charachter (not a poser guy yet :)) was obviously the one with canadian background. Just for info guys.
