Could you please advises me a recruiting agency that's post jobs related to logistics, supply chain, purchasing, procurement , customer relations ?

Hello Ma'am, My name is Goldah from Kenya. I am interested in customer service, sales and marketing and administration. Please suggest some agencies for me.

I will be leaving Canada within a year or so after declaring non-residency and bring my business with me. My view is that Canada is a good place to live a normal life. Healthcare covers your peace of mind, even if the waitlist is long and bureaucratic. Social benefit is not as generous as people suggest sometimes (at least in Canada unless you're on actual welfare where you can't work but you can't rise your way up easily and you're forever stuck in 1.5k CAD/month... which would be ofc much better than other struggling countries but immigrants often aspire for greater things than that. \n\nEven though I was an Asian immigrant, I never faced significant racism afaik (I could be socially naive however), but there are definitely limitations of opportunities. It's not too difficult to find entry to intermediate jobs, at least for me but that's probably because I did schooling here in Canada. And I was able to network aggressively and learned to be an extrovert, so that also helped. But still, Canadian living cost is high (and I'm saying this from Calgary... imagine what it's like in Vancouver/Toronto). Is it doable? Ofc. 50-70k CAD/year is quite doable ESPECIALLY in Calgary, Alberta. But it'd be difficult to achieve financial independence and true wealth. This is true everywhere ofc but more so in Canada compared to, say, USA where living cost is lower and wage is higher with more opportunities. It's a great place to live normally. If you wanna become exceptional (wealth, customized goods and services, etc), it become harder and costs more. \n\nEven now when I now own business after struggling to get here over 10 years that generates income that I need to achieve financial freedom, tax becomes frightfully bad. Alberta (that imposes lowest tax rate compared to other Canadian provinces (not including territories for obvious reason) is comparable to California in USA that is among the highest in all US states. And let's be real; Alberta is nowhere close of being California. Imagine the taxes in BC/Ontario shiver. \n\nOnce my tax rate becomes high enough to justify moving, I will pull the trigger. Still window-shopping where I wanna go and I have some lists but it's gonna happen especially as Canada will have to deal with their struggling economy, further distancing from US and their government mismanagement that continues to cost the society. I will not have any part in it. I may come back once in a while for visit or potentially retire depending on what the future looks like but right now, I just don't see my longterm future here.

Im trying to find a job in canada from my home country. Administrative Assistants positions or customer service positions.. Could you pls help me how I go about it. Thank you

Am looking for any customer care or call centre job ,

Out of all the videos this is the most genuine one, a straight forward review of the reality that an immigrant has to face no sugar coating, like the agents do to get the customers\nVery well done guys keep up the good work you rock!!!. I was planning to move to Canada and you answered all my queries in one go ,in future I would love to consult your channel rather than wasting my time on some agents.\nThanks again stay blessed and continue the process .\nRegards

So if the NOC code comes under the C category, is it not valid for a Canadian PR? Customer solutions agent experience is that not valid?

We need more black owner businesses and document what customers he/she is more concerned/ suspicious about.

Sir ur a great man head the opportunity to work in ur supervision at the custom house Quetta as a sepoy in custom perventue (ghast) shaheed with Maqsood Durrani.\nNow living in england for the last 22 years

Ashir sb Let me remind you, Aap AC customs thay! You were a part of that system jis ka Aap wahan beth kar rona ro rahay hain. Aur Taxes tau phir theek hain mere bhai aur behnoi importers hain , karachi port par customs waalay kitni kitni rishwat maangtay hain. Aap ne bhi maangi hogi ya Nahi yeh tau ALLAH he jaanta hay ya Aap...? Anyways Bahir beth kar criticize karna BUHUT AASAN AUR ANDAR BETH KAR SYSTEM SE LARNA AUR ISKO THEEK KARNA ASAL HERO KA KAAM HAY JO HAMAARAY PRIME MINISTER IMRAN KHAN SAHIB aur Kayee deegar baray chotay Afsaraan kar rahay hain. Aap west k complex main he rehna.

I like your videos like your stile and attitude know you from Quetta Pakistan Karachi Customs and PTV as well keep doing this I am in Berlin CT USA

Watched a lot of your videos. One thing which have bothered me is that you always have some objection or problem with the Pakistani System which you experienced and yet you chose to RUN away from it, instead of fighting. There are a lot many people who are not as power holder as you were but they fight and take their life share from the same system in Pakistan.\n\nI do appreciate your videos where you are guiding people about different things in Canada, but please stop criticizing Pakistan in your each and every video for every tits and bits you have been through. There is always a positivity which is there in every sphere of life in Pakistan. Yes I do admit that, we have issues in Pakistan but you know it and all of us know it that all these looters and corrupt people are mostly settled in Canada, US & Europe. Why don't you identify them and send their info to the authorities you know in Pakistan.\n\nYour one trip to Pakistan after PM IK in power which didn't bore fruit as you desired made you critic of him is not justified totally as there are other priorities which he have for People of Pakistan. You can always send your suggestions to PM IK through his office.\n\nIn last, i would again like to remind you that it is Pakistan that gave you identity and fame, be it in Customs or Film making and there are a lot of people still in Pakistan who admired what you did but you disappointed all of them and chose to run away to your new home in Canada

sir, my job related to shipping industry and you are the one person who introduce online import manifestation with customs i salute you and miss you love you sir God give you long life ameen

Tery ko maine apni akhnoo se dekha rishwat letay hue custom house main ….\ntumy yad ho na yad ho hume yad hai zara zara

Very wise man . To loose a person like him for Pakistan custom is absolute disgrace.

I m from Lahore. Running my own business last year i made around 6 million pkr profit. And I started my business 3 years back. With lot of hard work and consistency i am able to make it and is hoping to increase it further. But after watching your videos i discussed my intention to try for Canadian Immigration with my wife.\nIs it worth trying for it?\nThe only reason is even after making good money you are ensalved to system. We work with different gov offices like fbr, customs and PRA. There attitude is pathetic that is why we have to work middle men and pay him commission. Moreover i m not able to adjust in this environment. The school system is pathetic. I don't like private schools and how they are looting middle class parents. Same is with Doctors. One of my friend who have well established textile business got their mother admitted to one very famous hospital in DHa lahore. Doctors almost killed her mother just to make more money. For very minor issue they paid around 2 million rs to different Private Doctors. And 3 to 4 operations without even doing ct scan. I luv my kids and would never like them to grow in this environment...

First of all, you have an open Best Buy, that’s scary in itself. \nSecond, every Best Buy that I’ve been to that sales people are so bored that it’s like when they see an actual customer they all get excited. I’ve been asked multiple times of i needed help, then they tried selling me stuff i didn’t want.\nBest Buy isn’t a good example, sorry.\nBut i get the trail of the story. It happens and continues because of stereotypes and people not willing let be people be people.

This is very brief and informative but I was hoping you will drop the links for recruitment agencies. I'm a customer network support with Administrative experience .I have applied for hundreds of post but gotten same amount of rejection\nCan you advise further on way forward or a recruiting agency\nThank you for your feedback

Hi Guys, thanks for making such amazing videos. \nI am 29 year old(Married) and working as a IT Project Manager in India. I am planning to move to Canada, but haven't started with any of the formalities, It's still a thought. I want to change my work domain from IT PM to Customer Success related roles in India, work for some time and then move to Canada. \nWould switching work domains affect my chances of getting a job in Canada ? do you recommend doing this ?

Customer service, or what?

As a former best buy associate management will tell a majority of us to contact a customer they think is likely to steal and keep asking until they leave. (Majority of these interactions are people of color). if they enter the apple shop management will call for all leadership present and some associates to surround the apple section.

Hi Jason, I work in customer service industry which doesnt come under category O, A or B. Can I still apply for PR? Also my spouse is in final year of their MBA, will that also count? Can I enter their details as a post grad.?

There's cases in this episode where they assumed racism without proof like the Best Buy for example. I used to work at Best Buy for a Co-Op placement in highschool and shoplifting was a big issue for them, it became best practice at one point to just approach customers of any race and ask them what they need. You also have to realize that it's an electronics store, you're there to buy something specific or look for something in particular.. It's very suspicious to be browsing around for 15 minutes unless you're in a game or movie section. Shoplifters usually stall before attempting a theft and usually do buy one or two things as to not arouse suspicion.

Employees ask customer a question to help. The customer then 'feels' he was profiled because he was asked for help. People are so soft. Babies everywhere. Pitty me please

I wish the US did a show like this. Thank you guys for what you do. I love your show! I feel so bad for the customers who get taken advantage of but I also love how you expose the real issues at hand.

I don't mind being asked if I need help..shoot most of the time I'm lost or can't remember what I need..I call it fine customer service and it makes me mad when I'm ignored..

Shoppers Drug Mart employees are the absolute worst in my experience for racial profiling. They opened a new store so had hardly any customers, I was shopping for painkillers where there are numerous drug types, brands, strengths (mg), styles (capsules, gel cap, tablets), amounts and prices - all in small writing which takes quite a bit of time to disseminate and decide upon especially when your eyesight is poor as mine is. After a while I looked up and noticed a security guard standing in the aisle watching me. I was shocked and confronted him, asking if he was watching me, to which he quickly denied and left. Was so disturbed I quickly left the store without buying anything and refused to return to that location. Another time I was shopping for an eyebrow pencil where the colour name was printed again in small letters so was spending time to find the one I wanted amongst all the different browns. After I had chosen and started to walk past their counter, their staff member stood with her arms folded shaking her head. This was very alarming as I had shopped in that store since it had opened! So after effectively being accused of shoplifting a $3 eyebrow pencil for no reason other than being black, at the cash line, a white guy sprints out the door carrying a $50 box of diapers! Whatever they are selling at Shoppers or anywhere else is not worth my freedom. They have no right to profile me when it is never going to be me stealing. There are many, many black people who just do not do those kinds of things. We are not all criminals. I have worked in lots of stores and the majority of people stealing are the majority of people in Canada - the white people. Stop living on stereotypes, Shoppers Drug Mart and don't pooh-pooh people's experiences when they call and complain!

This is a bias survey to push liberals far left agenda. Why shouldn't business owners not profile customers to protect their business? Media has a big role to play as to how we see people. Please, Show stats (from neutral sources) as to whom commits more crimes by race. You might then change your mind. When a police officer goes into a neighbourhood with high crime. Why shouldn't they want to protect themselves? Shame on you to try to influence people and not show the real truth!

The facts surrounding cannabis sales (demographic, buys) in Canada after it was legalized should be the most damning statistic there is. How does the RCMP justify their historical arrest rate of black and Indigenous people for cannabis possession when you see the actual demographic and customer base for cannabis.

I am from Canada abd what bothers me about some immigrants is that they bring their customs ,and beliefs to my country.. I find that hard to tolerate . Leave your customs behind . I can understand why there is racism

Regarding the profiling in the stores, I guess they are assessed mainly for their purchasing power; to check if they are real purchasers and that can happen in any country; where shop-owners are assessing their own neighbors buying power as potential customers to try to sell them anything!

As a former best buy employee for 3 years, I can confirm they enforce a 10 foot 10 second rule. If a customer is withing 10 feet of you, you have 10 seconds to greet and share your name with the customer. This is two fold- yes, to help reduce shoplifting, but also to encourage sales. This is something I share and reference with my sales team in a different setting now, however, I can confirm as an experienced sales person, the technique works to achieve both outcomes. It's super sad to see it being used for the wrong purpose in this clip. I think it shows a lot of racial bias. I'm curious what ethnicities the employees were that approached each shopper.

There’s a few very flawed tests here. They sent the black guy into best buy, but no one else for comparison. Best Buy now tries to compete with Amazon by focusing on customer service. Everytime I go in there I have 3 employees asking me if I need help, and im white. Also the test where someone looks at a face and has to choose good or bad, is silly. They’re forcing someone to choose between two arbitrary answers. Life is not black or white. I’m not doubting the discrimination minorities face though.

Maybe yes, maybe not. Sales clerk always come and ask if someone needs help. I like the idea when they come and ask and I hate when sales clerk ignore me. There's few stores that clerk ignores customers coming to the store. That's my experience.

I worked at a grocery store. Lost count of how many times I had customers 'warn' me about 'suspicious' customers that were almost always young native men. It's ridiculous.

Can I help you find something?\nThat is great customer service.\nIn England it's simply, buy something or leave!!

I've been 6 years here in Canada ... It's the first time I know that when I used to be asked if I need any help, they were actually checking if I am stealing ... I never took it that way .. I always took it positively and that people are being nice to customers ... I prefer to stay in my naivety ... it's easier ... in the other hand as a part time Uber/Lyft driver ... from the middle east ... white riders were generally the best and most polite (apart from very few drunk riders) ... they are miles better than all other races .. including people of my own country ...

The best way to deter shoplifting from any suspicious-looking individual is great customer service.

Some customers are simply slow or indecisive shoppers, but some store employees tend to misjudge that.

i mean ive worked alot of retail and we are generally trained to approach customers regularly... retailers like best buy if they are going from section to section will often have different staff approach them simply due to how employees are trained and the fact that generally they work off commission. i can see how this can be seen as being watched. if its the same staff member over and over thats a different story.

actually, having worked in real estate sales for a brief part of my life, im pretty sure the amount of racism isnt as exaggerated as portrayed. what is happening is the sales person has deemed the first customer very likely to rent the apartment, so to avoid having to reject/ conflict another customer, the later customer looking at the same apartment is quoted a slightly higher price to deter him from deciding on the apartment. also why the first customer is offered 2 apartments to look at while the 2nd customer looking for the same criteria is only offered one.

Tipping doesn’t mean good customer service. It means they fake it, and in the end, everything becomes more expensive. North America needs to get their act together. Don’t start me on taxes!

Wow! America and Canada tip. That means sh!t customer service.
