Yaar same story now in Australia too. Once yous over 45, nobody gives you job......buss!.......Sub khatam, and then you think about going to Malaysia or Thailand. Going back home becomes hard because all your friends and most of your relatives are also long gone from Pakistan. I mean I'm busting Indian chops here, but this situation is equally applicable to anybody from middle east or South Asia going to Canada or Australia or god forbid to the UK.One could say that in the day of TikTok, internet,YouTube and the transparency it brings, these students are responsible for not researching what they are getting into when their parents are committing to 75 years of income.
These sort of recruiting outfits used to operate even in Pakistan in the 90s to get people into US in bottom tier universities.
So the bottom of the pile of students (intelligence,academic accomplishments , greed for visa) are getting what they deserve. This is a tough statement but with that sort of outlay why do the students not use your phone to search top Canadian universities.
Canadian Government complicit. The real crime is the whole points system for professionals from poor countries that gives them priority for immigration to Canada.
On a few work trips to Canada about decade ago , every long taxi ride, I asked the immigrant taxi driver their story, out of curiosity because just about everybody was immigrant.
100% of them had this story:
So they keep the charade going in the non-white collar job with the only hope that their children will land a white collar profession.
- middle class senior job in home country (India, Pakistan, Hungary).
- Moved to Canada under the points system
- Did it under the expectation that they would have a similar level white collar job, or something 1-2 levels below.
- Liquidated their property, employment, moved to Canada
- Used those proceeds to secure a home or property into their city in Canada (purchase) and rest in resettlement expenses for themselves/spouse/children
- 6 months in they have consumed a lot of their savings with none left.
- Their families/friends from their departed country envy think they are living the immigrant dream.
- The immigrant themselves is not able to land any white collar job.
- A senior banker immigrant could not even get a job as a bank teller and had been driving taxi for 5 years with no hope of every transitioning out of it
- I asked why a year in they did not go back. Answer simple: they could never dream to get their old job back, they had exhausted their savings, and most importantly, the ego defeat and swallowing pride to come back and let their friends / colleagues know that this was a wrong decision.
This is the true scam: Canada needs unskilled labor. They get this from the foreign countries under the fascade of a points system, and the ultimate bonus, these people bring in cash and invest in the Canadian economy to get settled.
At least the US, those coming across the border are not brining their money or dreams of big paying jobs. They want a job and land on the social welfare net to begin witih.
This is a terrible scenario that I have not ever narrated out till I saw this YouTube video, but applies to my extended family members that moved to Canada when I started looking into it
