Newcomers must be mentally prepared

by Anup Mittal

Canada accepts the newcomers with an open-heart, but the treatment they get from the job market is on the contrary side. The country openly show favour to the people of Canadian i.e. “True Canadians”. The newcomers face a tough situation in the job market in Canada, and if a person does not have experience in hand, then the dream of getting a job never turns into reality. Even the competent newcomers are left with no hope when they not even given one opportunity to prove their work skill, and they do not get a deserving job. It's a catch 22 situation - "No job without Canadian experience, but how will one gain Canadian experince without getting a job?"

Canadian Immigrants face early death

New immigrants to Canada, beware! A new study says immigrants coming to Canada in search of a better life actually put themselves at risk of an early death due to stress. Scott Lear, a kinesiologist at Vancouver's Simon Fraser University, said Sunday that many healthy immigrants start seeing deterioration in their health soon after landing in this country. Their condition gets only worse as they stay longer in Canada, he said, citing his study on new immigrants. Lear, who examined over 600 new immigrants from Asia and Europe for a condition called atherosclerosis - which refers to the narrowing of an artery, said they started building more plaque in their arteries as they stayed longer in Canada. This puts them at a greater risk of death from cardiovascular problems, Lear said in a TV interview.
