I think IT field needs more than just the degree in hand. I remember that when I got my first job, my manager told me that he interviewed approx 15 people who were graduate in computer science from the well known universities in Canada. None of them could satisfy him and most of them did not know how many bits are there in a byte.

I had very little practical experience but having an engineering background (of course not computer science) and very very strong theoretical and logical knowledge which my home country India blessed me, I got my job. That is why I always stress that theoretical knowledge (Which u can get only in country like India and which most of the people think is not important) builds ur foundation.

I have seen a bollywood movie (I don't remember the name) where the teacher was teaching to a call centre employees the following formula

10 = 35

which means an Indian of 10 yrs of age has same common sense as of an American of 35 yrs age. Please don't take it personally.

""Firstly its “why do you have so much pride in this country” not proud. Learn English maybe then you’ll have a bit more success here. Why did you come to this country if you wanna make this into india?? ""


"And my proposal we don’t need any more immigrants especially form sounth asia "too many to here" already."

Looks like someone spoke too soon about learning English!

I am appalled at the what some write here - they don't seem to understand how important good communication skills are, to integrating in society here. Let us face it...... this is not a perfect society, nor are we as Indians.


For the most part many of us still depend on mainstream society (if you want to call them "whites", to make a living. We are quite unlike other communities like the Chinese or Korean, where you can survive without good English language skills because you integrate into these societies itself and make a living.

Web 2000 seems to have a particular problem - he is one angry person who believes that everything Canadian (read "white" is evil. He rants incessantly - but yes he displays a "sense of humor" when he says
" BTW, if knowing English was enough then the born Canadian will be the boss everywhere". It's funny and doesn't make sense. Perhaps he needs to go to Japan, Korea, and Germany where the majority use one language to communicate - be it German, Japanese or Korean.


That said as long as he keeps calling this country, society and systems evil, he will continue to be unhappy. He pays his taxes- but that is no good reason to live in this "imperfect society". He should find solace in his home country of India.

He will be at peace finally & will have no reason to complain. He will find the happiness, that has eluded him in Canada.
