    Same tactic

    posted by  T Y in Germany forum 

    You criticized how Canada picks and chooses only the rosy aspects they want you to see, and now you've done exactly the same, just the ugly side.

    First of all, it's too naive to come to a new country to expect to become one of "them" right off the boat. Maybe you are surrounded by immigrants who didn't make enough effort despite what they said. But the ones I meet daily are very successful, I also have done well, so well that I decided to quit my full time job to become a freelancer so that I have more free time while I make just as much money. And I still get job offers. But all this wasn't given to me at the airport. I worked my ass off for 10 years, and I didn't give up. And most of my immigant collegues have gone through the same to get to where they are now. I work with them everyday. I also met a couple of japanese guys working here said they couldn't make as much in Japan as what they are making in Canada! They are better compensated in Canada than in Japan! And let me tell you, their English is somewhat limited. But they are good at what they do, and Canadian companies recognize that.

    And what makes Canada and the US different is that when you do work hard, no, sorry, work harder than the locals, you will eventually be recognized and rewarded, while for example in Germany, 40% of university educated Turkish Germans, who are exactly the kind of people Germany needs, choose to leave Germany because they don't feel at home in their home country where they were born and raised and can't find decent jobs there.

    As for Rob Ford becoming the mayor, it had a lot to do with the car drivers who voted for him, immigrants included.
