Bush work is delayed because it is so wet up in swan river. So I decided to come back for a couple days and get some stuff done in rainy river. It's a 11 1/2 hour drive but not as bad as it sounds. Anyways I stopped at a Dairy Queen in one of the bigger towns befor I got to Winnipeg. There was 6 woman working at the Dairy Queen taking orders etc and I had to wait in line as it was pretty busy . I noticed that 4 of the woman talked a lot different and a little hard to understand . The guy in front of me was a black man , very polite and even said hello to me , when he ordered his food he struck up a conversation with one of these 4 woman. Well the 4 woman are from India it turns out . The black man is from Africa , he said where from exactly but I can't remember where .

Now I ask myself. What's the chances that these 4 woman from India decided one day " hey let's go to Canada and live north of Winnipeg and get jobs " ? Travel costs , to get set up in a town and rent a place and get jobs isn't all that easy. And the black guy from Africa was he also living in this town or was he a tourist ?

Is there program's out there to bring in immigrants and get them set up with jobs while the rest of us have to fend for ourselves and run around looking for work

People from many of these poor countries consider Canada the land of Milk and Honey. A buddy of mine went to India a couple of years ago and all the women were all over him offering to marry him so they could come to Canada. They literally wouldn't leave him alone.

Not sure how they apply to come to Canada but in the big cities, there are tons of new Canadians. Most will take ANY job they can get and they work hard, even if it just a minimum wage job. I think it is rare that they would want to live in the small towns but hey, I guess once they come here they can live wherever they want.

Not sure how they apply to come here but they are. My parents came to Canada from Europe in the 1950's and they had to learn English and find a job themselves.

LOL. The foreign workers program in action. Basically a great tool for businesses and corporations to drive down labor costs and get some really dedicated workers trying to make it in Canada doing jobs many Canadians would not do like for minimum wages. Certainly if your native or any visible minority or a female you have some huge advantages when it comes to employment in Canada.

It's programs such as this that will eliminate the middle class and lower our standard of living, all the while making the "1%" richer.

A lot of companies put the service thru call centers and most of the time the people who respond have very poor english and are impossible to make understand the problem. I usually hang up and go to the companies on line site.

You guys don't have to be confused at all I'll explain it to you
February 1988 just got home from the army 20 years old and I got a call from my uncle telling me to get my butt here in Canada because it's all kind of work and not enough people to get the job done
So I had to go to work for the next five months to make enough money to buy me a flight
I went to work 12 hour shift 6 o'clock at night till 6 o'clock in the morning for 35 bucks which is about three dollars an hour hangups saving the $900 for the flight
The company I went to work for here in Canada he had an application across Canada looking for guys to go to work Shoveling concrete 10 to 12 hours a day for $10 an hour
nobody is going to work That hard for so little money
But if you compare my three dollars an hour in Italy to $10 an hour in Canada it's a big difference
This is the land of opportunity and the best country in The world but you have to work
Foreign people they make next to nothing in their country and minimum-wage here it's a lot of money for them

I hire a number of seasonal workers every spring and fall on my farm.
Even with the increase in unemployment in my area it's a struggle finding Canadians willing to show up and work every day.
It seems I have better luck with retired people and immigrants.
Waay too many Canadians think their job is to sit in Timmies for three hours a day and collect welfare.
If you don't work you still get a gov cheque to get by on.
This needs to change!!!!!!
If youre hungry that 10 bucks an hour might look pretty good.
I'm sure most unionized workers will take exception with my point of view
but in the extreme SW part of Ontario there are very few high paying
union jobs left.

The extended family lives together so they have multiple people in the house brining in that amount of money. They save every nickel, won't even buy a cup of coffee and get by on the bare minimum of hydro, water, heat etc. They are living like kings compared to the slum they may have rented in a 3rd world country where they had 1 light bulb.

99% of you do not even have an idea how we lived in different parts of the world we have nothing
took this photo on Google Earth of my family's house where I lived for 20 years
3 different families lived here my parents, my grandparents, my uncle, perhaps gives you a good idea
when I see some emigrant I help them more than I can because I know what it means to have nothing
and when you have nothing and they pay you $ 10 per hour you're rich
you are right Partikle 1 light bulb many times not even that

Well it's not like i am a big spender. Things like rent , hydro , water etc has to be paid every month there's no getting around that. Hard to imagine most people in Canada that are not in big city's not having a vehicle to get back and forth to work especially in the winter time so there's costs of having a vehicle , insurance and gas costs . As far as groceries goes we all know what it costs us to eat.

And just how do these immigrants get started here in Canada if they come here with nothing ? I am basically starting over in Manitoba and its not easy
Also when a job become available recently in rainy river on the town crew there was 47 applicants. Another job was available in atikokan and there was 80 applicants. I am pretty sure no immigrants applied for these jobs . My girlfriend applied for a job last summer in a grocery store in rainy and she didn't get the job. Just where are these jobs that Canadians are not applying for ?

Last year my daughter applied for 32 jobs in Thunder Bay and didn't get a call back ? And were not talking high paying jobs either.

Are there tax perks or something for a business if they hire immigrants ? I don't know that's why I'm asking

there are programs where the gubberment will cough up half the wages for a period of time, but when i used this program it wasn't immigrant based though
my last job i had 65 FT people working for me and the attendance rate was at least 20% that i covered with part timers, not a bad job, certainly not hard work and over the 18 an hour
When we moved to Canada my mum was a nurse in England, they wouldn't recognize her as a nurse here so she ended up working night shift as a cleaning lady. One guy i hired in my last job was a doctor back from wherever he came, he is not recognized here as one though and had to take whatever he could, almost didn't hire him due to him being way over qualified to be a janitor

Check in the big cities. Many Indian taxi drivers have university degrees and some have their PhD's but they are not recognized in Canada.

Not sure how they are getting into Canada or finding work?

And how do prospective employers check the validity of these so called PHD's and University degrees from these countries??

I have worked with individuals who have these degrees and I can tell you they are probably printed off the internet if they even have one at all.

Not saying they are all fake but how do we prove they actually have the proper education to do the job properly and safely?

It is not an issue because they are not recognized. Fake or real, they are not valid here in Canada.

Winnipeg is pretty heavy with immigrants. My brother went out there to open a store for his company and he was shocked. Coming from southern ontario he didn't think it would be more populated with Immigrants. But he said they sure do work hard
