I have seen many "Canadian Educated" people finding this test tough. Any CBSE 12th Grade can pass this exam......thats the difference between Indian education and Canadian school education......

I do not know the teat Today's administers- but the test that the co I worked for administered, even though I thought any 12 standard pass from India could pass it with flying colors, I must admit that there were many candidates who flunked the English Language skills, but never the Math Skills. Canadian educated folks however were just as prone to flunk the English or the Math test.

Anyway, I guess the level of instruction in English isn't the same all over India. I only know the Mumbai-Pune tract.

Hi Guys ,

Kindly clarify my (mis) understanding & notions .

I feel that the large chunk of Indian Immigrants r Engineers /Docs /CAs in their 30s earning around INR 30 - 35k pm . Right or wrong??

These ppl come with their life s saving of INR 5 lacs upwards 2 start a new life in Canada .

Out of these 80% (pls correct me) :

In order 2 save depleting reserves they take odd jobs like Tim Hortons / Factory / salesmen etc which demand 8 hours of shift regularly and pay around CAD 2k pm which finishes off in the rent/car/expenses .

After 1 yr/ 2 yr they find themselves trapped by these jobs & difficult 2 board their originial functonal areas . Right or wrong??

Now the same guy who was earning 35k in India @ that time & knows that he wud have risen 2 INR 50 k by now and in a better job feels cheated and I think it happens 2 a majority .Right or wrong ??

No doubt Canada is better than India but does it have job satisfying economy .Yes they have vast natural resources & have pumped Immigrants 2 utilise them .

Well frankly 2day I wud seriously think if I have a INR 60k job @ B lore plus a career v/s settling in Canada . Its only due 2 the Intrnet & Canadian Desi that prospective Immigrants wud ve become more aware .

Kindly clear my misconceptions with advanced Thanks as I might b going in wrong line of thinking all along .

Manasvi .

PS Yes I do believe in the entrepreneur route .If u can pump in some money u will get better returns which eventually the Govt wants u 2 do . In the end its a give n take .

80%!!! Don't know where you could have got a number like that from.

Since you've raised the issue of statistics - you want numbers of successful people in Canada and you've also made comparisons with B'lore in the same breath, I'll address the B'lore issue first:

- Do you have statistics of power outages in B'lore?

- Do you have statistics on water supply in B'lore?

- Do you have statistics on traffic for B'lore, how long do people spend in a commute from home to the office?

- A lot of you rave about \"broadband\" access in B'lore. Isn't this a 256kbps service - as compared to a 3Mbps or better service that one would find in North America. Not in the same league I would say.

A very large number of immigrants (I won't hazard a guess as to the percentage) do find work in their own professions! I imagine its difficult to find information about Indians to this effect in view of lack of information by race (don't pick up on this now and suggest that its all a conspiracy).

As far as I'm concerned, I live in an up-market condo complex, drive a premium car and I see a lot of browns that do the same. At work and at my clients, again, I see a lot of browns in responsible professional positions. I don't go around with a piece of paper trying to keep track and statistics of all of this........but I've seen my family members, friends and ex-colleagues come in and integrate here without a problem. I came in about 15 months ago and already have a pretty settled look about myself. If we could do it, I'm sure a lot of other people can too......with the right information, and the right attitude, not by assuming that 80% of professionals work at Tim Horton's here.

Just to put a perspective on this, approx 20,000 odd Indians immigrated to Canada during 2003. If we go by your numbers, we would have 16,000 new Indians at Tim Horton's, McD, etc. Sounds illogical? Yeah sure does, especially when you consider that another 20k will immigrate this year - you figure that would mean another 16k would be added to Timmy's workforce..........either Timmy's is growing like crazy or your numbers are BS, I'll go with the latter.
