Otherwise just another story to not loose hope. Period.

One more reason why I suspect that the CSIS/CIC employs people like this to give false hopes to lure Immigrants to low level jobs (AKA Labour jobs)/ security jobs by giving them false hope and then ensure that they stay in such dead beat jobs most ,if not all, of their lives.
Just imagine (not me though) if a person who is about to quit his security guard job to a professional job in India / Gulf would have otherwise continued to stay in his job waiting for such 'hidden job" which is anywhere from 60-80% of all Canadian jobs (as stats. state) after reading the OP's post as well as another person's motivation that this is a typical networking / hidden job so prevalent in Canada.

Of Course I call it networking. There are different kinds of networks - formal (ie/ joining business and professional associations) and informal (community groups such as CD, former classmates, friends, members of related hobby groups, relatives, people from your religious group etc etc.) Sometimes you just meet the right person at the right time. They can still be a part of your social network and can be of assistance to you, the way you may be for them (or have been for them)
Although this person did not necessarily befriend this middle aged man with the intention of securing a better/professional position, it was through their social contact that he got this job.
You are free not to agree with my definition of "networking'. Secondly, sticking your resume on a window is not 'networking', it is advertising'.

Also an example of "hidden job market" or more specifically "networking" Or for those more cynical "being in the right place at the right time"

I did not say this is a 'typical networking' method. However yes it is a hidden job (ie/ one that is hidden from the typical job seeker's eyes a.k.a not advertised in a newspaper).
how does CIC ensure one stays in a security job your entire life? Thats a really interesting assumption.
