it should be tough in other ways. Most countries require at least a basic knowledge of the language. I think that is a must. Some basic knowledge about the history and political siituation. And some information should be given, like the lack of health care and the obligatory Xray and injections. The total mess of health care and insurance was a new for me LOL

Canada as a country is suffering in so many ways, over the past 5-6 years.
More so since the "Ukraine" war.
It's unbelievable to me, for instance, in a country with a large population of unskilled young Canadians willing to work (and who speak and understand English...):
Young Ukrainians and young people from India and Pakistan are being hired (and trained) to perform those 'entry level" jobs.
I can list numerous examples of negative experiences I've had, due to these new "hiring practices".
Just saying.
PS: They behave like they are ENTITLED. Live with "their own", barely speak English (and no French but mine is poor too...) and seem to dislike Canadians.
They turn up their nose to "serve" us and do it badly.
Hate to actually write all that but truth is truth.
it goes without saying, that a country should first and foremost take care of its own people. Why are these young Canadians unschooled, though? there must be schools were they could learn what is needed for a job? I remember from the old country, that they did the same - they 'imported' Polish and other former East block people because there were no 'skilled' laborors ; which means, not at the wage they wanted to pay ! As for myself, I preferred to work for myself rather than for an American boss.
Not everyone wants to go to Trade School at age 18, and if they do? Many need jobs to PAY for it.
Same with Uni: not everyone is a "scholar"... and if they are? Not everyone has well-to-do parents to foot the expenses.
So they need to WORK.
Young people seek "entry level" minimum wage jobs like:
Baristas, servers, fast food counter staff, convenience store clerks, Walmart "associates", even poker dealers and "security" jobs.
They can't get 'em though...
Elderly Canadians are being "served" by young foreigners who congregate at the self-check out, nattering amongst themselves in their native tongue... Completely ignoring customers. (Unless they are clearly Indian. Then they help them. In their native tongue.)
I live in a "tourist" town. Primarily a service industry town (no manufacring left...). Tourists and locals alike are "served" there food or dealt their cards by "handsome" or "pretty" young Ukrainian refugees who don't understand or speak English but they're also pretty incompetent and have a sense of "entitlement".
They have disdain for us... When asked how do they "like" Canada? Oh, how much "worse" Canada is than "back home"...
Companies are following deliberate (perhaps unwritten) hiring practices.
ah, thanks. Living in a small, rural village in Georgia we do not have this kind of people. But I do remember some girls in a warehouse in Belgium who stood in the back doing nothing talking in their native language while we were working hard. Some of their compatriots talked with disdain about these profiteers. Most were Algerian, Tunisian or Turkish, and most hard working, like us! But these 2...

They're not "unschooled" Ingrid.
They have high school educations...

It's become a joke...

Lol... yep.
But that is Trudeau’s Canada!
True here too.
Ingrid, immigrant Americans like you embody the spirit of what it means to be an American. Thank you for reminding us.
Thank you Reasonable Horses, Americans like you make me even more glad I am your compatriot!
