Invisible racism is very much alive and well in Canada. I immigrated to Canada from India in 2000 and have encountered this invisible racism at interview with an all white panel. Initially i was asked about having "Canadian experience" as a subtle way of screening me out. I currently work with the federal government in Ottawa and find the same thing there too. I always manage to do very well in job tests for higher level positions in various departments, but when it comes to interviews i never seem to get through. There is always something that i should have said or could have said differently. I guess my name which is very Anglicized. Which fools people into calling me for the interview, till they see me in person and my ethnicity is revealed.

The amount of people coming here to complain is unreal. Yes not everything is fair in Canada, but I get the feeling many of these people would complain about anything no matter the Country, no matter the issues, I think the problem is the person complaining themselves, not the country they complain about, look at yourself first, then be realistic with what Canada has to offer. If you don't like it, then leave, why complain??

Guess what Canada is not cheap, and there is a highly educated population meaning good jobs are hard to come by. Whether you are born in Canada or not, there c be times where finding a job can be incredibly stressful. Yes lots of people are too proud to work at Tim Hortons, but the reality is if you need a job...there are always jobs here. That cannot be said for my home Country Guatemala. People there are willing to risk their lives and travel great distances for small amounts of money. I don't have to live in a community with armed guards, bars on my windows. I get healthcare, I have safety, and my children have a great education. Not to mention there are communities from all over the world here for support which gives the city I live in (Toronto) great diversity.

Is it perfect...No, have I become rich...no......but nowhere is perfect. But for me this country gives me freedoms I would never have back home.

For those who complain I suggest to replace your bitterness with a dose of the reality and humility.

Welcome to Canada

Greetings to All:

There is much important information here. I just like to say that both sides are right, there is much opportunity for employment and development, but equally there are many obstacles and things you need to confront, understand and overcome. It is not easy, but it is not impossible.

Although the most important of my comment is that I am totally agree with that the vast majority of whites, not to say that everyone always want to have the post of nerd, to be the perfect leader and always have the best opportunities and facilities wherever they are, and that's something they came to do since arriving in America. For we remember that America had neither white boys, neither black nor Asian, they came also as immigrants and dairy nobody qualify, nor evaluated, nor did they put obstacles, but rather the true humility, simplicity and warmth of the Latin American man received them with original affection and respect and saw the option to manipulate people to live in us. And to this day, they feel they can govern and rule over any people or race. The truth is that if you have been a predatory and opportunistic.

On the other hand, here in Canada, anywhere in the world, truly civilized people find that this eagerness and interest in forming a society more just and mutually supportive, but you are too poor and ignorant people as I have resolved their migration process, wants abuse and benefit from the new immigrant. There is everything and in every place, society, race and culture.

And finally, it is very important remark still continues to be discrimination and abuse to the Hispanic Latino from the same Hispanic Latino, of course! The poor and ignorant Hispanic.

But we must move forward and find a way to build a better world and be a truly advanced and civilized society. Good luck to all.

I’ve read all your comments and viewpoints, and respect all of them, though personally I lived two years in Canada, and I can tell has been the best experience of my life, after having a child. security, tranquility, respect that people have towards others are things which never find anybody who has lived in any country in Latin America, my plan was to stay to live there but family reasons prevented me.

If someone are interested in going to live in Canada, but with the mentality that lives in your home country, BETTER NOT GO, but if you want to go and change your lifestyle to respect the laws and have respect for the others, think it is a good opportunity, in addition to forming a culture of saving, which many of us in our countries do not have it, it is true you have to start from the bottom in jobs that his country would never imagine I could do but also it is true that his country will never have security or peace of mind that exists in Canada, and knowing that your family can go out without feeling fear when there will be a shooting or if they returned without being assaulted etc. or at home does not have to put a prison bars as in our countries, for me personally this is worth much more than all the money I could win. Another very important for survival is to accept that change all this, and avoid making comparisons, maybe in your country the weather is better, or the most beautiful beaches etc., But thinking like that does makes you life difficult when the truth is not, I met people of all kinds in Canada, I met many people emigrated to countries like ours and it is amazing how still trying to live as they lived before without thinking they are in a country where they can build a better future working, but they live thinking that the responsibility for all their woes is the government, when they don’t realize they are themselves.

I also met people migrated from our countries which were encouraged to work and now have a successful business, and employ people, and like everywhere I met many generations of Canadians who do not live well because they are working and equal complain about the government, which is surprising when people are hungry and they see an opportunity where others see an unfortunately do amazing things.

I saw a lot the Hindu or Chinese who have made a lot of money working a lot. Cheer if you have the chance and let's have a little hand for me to get back now that I resolved my problems here are my data there need only an employer no matter whether in construction or cleaning or whatever as long as I work.

I came to Canada from Mexico for a better life. I met a good Canadian but I am still sad as I am a registered nurse from a busy hospital in Mexico City. I have good skills and I thought I would be welcomed at a hospital here but that not the case. I tried for a long time to get registered but it was no good. Canadians registration thinks we are not as good as them. I was very sad. I found a college that recognized my training and made it real easy for me to become a certified rca. I have found a good job that I like and I make pretty good money, not like RN but I do make $21.00 an hour so I am pretty happy. I like to help others with my experience by telling my story. Please share. Thank you and god bless.

I am an Indian Expatriate currently living in Dubai, U.A.E. I have 3 successful businesses here in Dubai and wish to leave everything here and come to Canada. Can anyone advice on whether this is a wise move? Also, how are the business opportunities in Canada? The reason I want to come to Canada is long term stability and Citizenship which unfortunately an Indian Expatriate will probably never have here. I wish to hear from everyone and with all kinds of opinions.
