at first even we were skeptical of these programs howver thu the program you start to network, learn new things and if not get linked with employers almost always have a positive experience. this is my opinion because it because such programs that I feel I am better adapted to the job market today.. it may take time but it is a good way to get your foot in the door. all the best and stay positive becuase you will get your job in the end! welcome to canada

Hello Desis:

Thank you all for your valuable inputs and feedbacks. We are glad to receive them.

Please can you also guide us on getting a phone connection for new immigrants.

1). What would be the best deal for getting phone connection. (We were thinking of taking a landline to begin with including voicemail feature. Basic+1 feature).

Please can you share your feedback on whose services should we go for? (rogers, bell, primus, vonage, etc).

(Note: We have not taken any internet connection. However we are able to surf thro our laptop as we are receiving unsecured wifi network for going online).

2). Should we also go for mobile connection at this stage?

Being new and still settling, our primary objective is to enable potential employers to contact us.

Please guide asap so that we can proceed further.

Thank you again for your assistance.

With best regards

Hi Teddi,

As you mentioned you are still looking for a telephone line. Thats mean you dont have a phone number in your resume.

If so,please get one ASAP.

Thanks.

I have said this in the past, and continue to say it....... there are several people who carry nothing except negativity on this forum......be it jobs, the culture, the society here..... the list could be endless. There are conspiracy theories about how the government here has conspired with industry to bring "educated, skilled, but cheap labor" through immigration. Then there are those who will see nothing but racism in everything, including the workplace...


Coming to that, We Indians are nothing short of racists........ we label ourselves, "Dilliwala's. Madrasis, Goltis", so on and so forth. We can't stand our own fellow Indians because they are from a different region, state or speak a language that is alien to us. We have barriers of caste, religion, community, gender and color (No wonder "fair and lovely" is a hit in India). We tolerate all that but, the moment we feel slighted here, we call everyone racist, discriminatory, and unfair.

Now what has this to do with the Original poster? Let me say this to this person, and everyone who writes or read the posts here... there are many challenges here, be it the workplace or society as a whole. There will also be people who will curse, swear and run down the society here. There are people who will say that you won't find work unless you "network", or "know a gora"... People say this because they give up easily, and cynicism is their middle name.


Let none of this get to you. This is a land of opportunities, and if you are focused, diligent, persuasive, patient and you can reach your goal. Finding work isn't that difficult if you have these are part of your character.

Hope this helps!

Teddie.. I sent you an e.mail but you never responded.
