CANADA - A NIGHTMARE COME TRUE!!

Well well well, you missed my point because you're reading between the lines.
So I put it in plain and simple English:
The guy was failing the test because he refused to take basic training, since he was considering himself fit and ready.
He was accumulating faults and hence failed 7 tests in a row.

Now the only parallel to draw is that while many complain, do they really do something to improve their chances. Or just sit in stubborn attitude playing the "blame the others" game.

I got  my driving license in the US by giving a test in the parking lot and driving at 5 miles per hour on the first attempt. My wife whose driving today is better than me when i went for the test in US has failed the test 4 times. After spending close to 1000$ for test and over 25 lessons she has basically given up on getting a drivers license.  I have a good job and so does my wife but having seen other equally capable people fail i can tell u one thing succeeding in canada is not easy for visible minority. mrstaycation wrote: Someone told me that he knows an immigrant who failed to pass the driving exam of SAAQ (Quebec) 7 times. It's only the 8th time that he succeeded. Problem: he was driving in his original country for more than 10 years, and during the exams he was recurring the same driving habits he developed there. It's only after 7 failures that he accepted the fact that he needed to adapt to the Canadian driving standards and took driving lessons. Everyone should make the effort to adapt to the country we move to, it's not easy but with perseverance there's a place for all immigrants in this big promising country. canvis2006 wrote: This writer Ghulam Rasool, i bet he had a nice paying govt job in his country where he did nothing much but shuffle paper all day. Now he has to actually work hard for the money so he writes a big letter of complains. Anyone who has issues with finding work should improve their skills first and become qualified as per Canadian standards before expecting a nice job...

Yeah it is hard being WHITE! The visible minority.

We are always told we are racist etc etc etc..... it gets old quick! I bet if I moved to India, pakistan, asia or any non english speaking non-western country and wanted to change laws and customs to suit my cultural background I would be lind up and shot or stoned to death! And you say we are the racist ones!

I can’t stand this melancholically spread out attitudes. Is the situation any better overseas, under seas, above seas, anywhere in the world??? Why not mentioning the absence of human rights in our countries, countries of origin where there is no dignity, where you get robbed by authorities and won’t dare to say a bit, where jobs are being gotten through bribery, toady and bootlick! Where the prices are going higher and people poorer, Where you spend all you have in case you need a hospital, and no guarantee the doctor will care about your life more than your money, where you can’t stop thinking a millisecond about the future of your children, education is poor, teachers are in lack of conscience and common sense when it comes to how to treat children, slapping, hitting and kicking, is that what we want our children to be in? No democracy, dictatorial governments and if you say one word you’ll get lost. Why my decedents should face all this garbage life. In two years we got a CBTax as much as the money we brought to Canada. Just be thankful Ghulam Rassol and stop complaining, or you can get back to your country and leave a space for someone else.

I landed a job in my profession within 3 months (IT).  I have been working in my profession since then (different employers).  All this without "Canadian" training/education.  I feel I don't get paid as much as someone who has the "Canadian" training/education but that is something I could change really easilly by getting further training here.  This is someting I intend to do at my own liesure... no rush.  I guess part of this is just a matter of research before coming over and keeping an open, positive and realistic outlook.  I came here NOT EXPECTING to work in my profession.  I was ready to get any kind of work and considered the possibility that I will not again be able to work in IT.  I was willing to do this of course and that is why I came.  I agree though with the part where the prospective immigrant is misled by these consultants and even the canadian government. when planning to do something majore (like buying a car, house... immigrating)  do your homework before commiting yourself.
