However, don't lose heart and keep applying. I am in the same boat. My wife doesn't even get called to the entry level clerical, admin, or customer serv. City/Prov. level jobs, leave aside those professional ones. But, as I said keep applying. Perseverance is the key here, and see what they are asking so that you are well prepared in advance. Don't lose heart.

Hi febpreet,
Your assumption is not correct, I would say; keep on applying, your resume will be shortlisted. When I had join, I was PR card holder. For admin position; I don't have much idea but spoke to different admins working in my ministry, they started thru agency and got permanant. So try Ajilon, Procomm etc.
Thanks

Hi to all...
I agree with Kalpna here.
Yes, most hirings are done by converting Temporary to Permanent.
For IT - it is the same what happens most of the time but sometimes it is also a Permanent hiring, as well.
But, for Clerical/Admin/Receptionist/etc jobs - it is how it works (there may be rare exceptions though but very few).
It is also not easy and most likely the resume will go to the trash-can and the person won't be called. And, even called - will not get the job. There are lots of possibilities here.
Now let me ask a question here - I am sorry, if I offend anyone here but it is not intended. Sometimes heathly criticisms are good too.
How come the Chinese community get into Public Service in a lot more numbers, whereas Indians don't ? We have a lot to learn from them. Look at the public service jobs in BC & Ontario.
Some of it is because we don't or almost have no fellow-feelings (I don't want to go beyond that).
Also, do Indians really want to work for the Public Sector ? We are mostly short-sighted and only want to plan for the immediate future. If we are happy in the current job - we don't want to plan long-term. Maybe it is good - depends on the situation.
Also, we are 'Not' persistent. We give up easily.
What I wrote above is from my personal experience trying to convince Indians to work for Public Services. I may be wrong too and hopefully is.
Best Wishes

I found, more than 50% of the contractor in my Ministry are atleast Indians hired by Indian Project Managers means our community is helping to hire desis, irrespective of Hindu or Sikh
, just kidding. But majority of Full timers are Chinese or.. We definitely can guide Indians to atleast shortlisted and after that I think process is very fair. As Regards to long-term planning, I find its very hard for an Indian to go to higher position as compare to Gora or Chinese.Thanks

Jai Ho, I agree with you word to word. I, for one really want to join the Public services and making much needed efforts for that. As I said earlier, perseverance is the key while applying to these jobs - kabhi to number aayega.
You're also correct that we Indians have no fellow-feelings (even, I don't want to go beyond that to open a pandora box. Each of us know what does it mean).
In a nutshell, couldn't agree more with you.
It simply wont work for Indian skin.... ( no fellow feelings)..
