In the more than 80 applications and several interviews I underwent to land my 1st job in Canada, I started to notice something: I was primarily being contacted by people who had migrated to Canada at some point in their lives. Although I saw this as an act of solidarity, it also made me question why I hadn’t been contacted by more Canadian-raised hiring managers and recruiters. Today, I think I may have at least a part of the answer.\nAfter a few months surrounded by co-workers who recently migrated to Canada, and interacting mainly with Canadian customers, the colliding of cultures has become evident to me. Letting a person finish their sentence before jumping to give a solution, asking “may I?” before taking an article off someone’s hands, and true active listening, all these things go a long a way in building relationships. Doing the opposite causes friction and even arguments where customers explicitly say: “Please don’t talk over me, listen to me first.”\nPutting myself in the shoes of a hiring manager who is culturally Canadian, knowing that Canadians are very risk averse and kept to themselves: Why would I stir the pot in the workplace by bringing in a foreign worker who may have internalized habits that are seen as rude and abrupt?\nIt’s not only about English skills, degrees, who does things faster, etc., but cultural awareness. If you don’t take the time to learn about the culture of the place you are migrating to and/or expect that locals welcome habits that could be perceived as rude and shocking to most Canadians, you are going to limit your network to only people in your cultural group - which will definitely hinder opportunities for growth. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that everybody thinks and acts the same as you do.

Don't come to Canada we don't need or wont you go back to India don't come here stay in India

Immigration to Canada and the USA is finished. Due to corrupt govts, illegal immigrants were allowed to enter these two nations. New govts are coming to power and all borders will be closed. Canada and the USA are badly damaged and must heal.

Time start deported all prople out of Canada in 12millions saving taxpayer trillions of dollars under liberal conversation NDP BQ green party country run wrong time vote every party need vote out now

Canada is probably on them for pooping on the beach. So I guess they want to poop on American beaches.

I left Canada, my home because it got expensive and Trudeau is in power

This is all on Trudeau’s and his gang of thieves how did these people get into Canada Build back better is a complete fking disaster

Canada & Mexico needs to diversify their portfolio and trade with other countries around the world.

This government care more about asylum seekers than Canadian who are homeless living in tents everywhere in Canada.

Nice, Canada short in generating babies (short 50,000 babies annually), so Canada BROUGHT 1.8 million Indians (from two ethnicity) in 2024 to replace the shortage!! WHAT IS GOING ON!

Suspend social benefits,they will leave Canada, they are trouble makers

canada was a great Country until the Liberals and NDP riped the heart out off it maybe PIERRE can put a new heart back in it with a lot off work .

Mexico needs to close their southern border or pay the price, same goes for Canada and our northern border. Shut it down or pay up!

China, India and Russia would love to trade with Mexico and Canada. Out of ties with the U.S they haven’t, Not Yet!!

Oh Canada is getting 25% tariffs and China 10% ??? Right Canada is so dangerous, give me a break.

Trump is about to get a lesson in how the real world work. He is going to isolation himself from the real world ? 25 per cent tariff on Canada ?? is he out of his mind. Idiot

The Central Bank of Canada should reduce US Treasury Bill purchases. Mexico should do the same. China already has significantly offloaded US debt. When a Country weaponizes its dollar, it’s time to part with it.

Free trade has never existed and if anything has only benefited the U.S. He's just posturing and throwing around his weight because he thinks he's high and mighty. He's got a few loose screws and will damage any relationship he has with Canada, Mexico, or any country dealing with the U.S. And the sad thing is, we're all going to pay for it.

So basically illegal drugs, and luxury agriculture foods will become more expensive for Americans? USA has the most, and most fertile farmland on the planet! Canada’s major import is natural gas, minerals, and Crude oil! I USA uses the policy of Drill, baby drill? USA does not need Canadian natural resources! China is machinery and appliances! Which other countries also make! So the price can be negotiated now with other countries! ?

Its very simple\n84% of Mexico exports go to the U.S.\n77% of Canada exports go to the U.S.\nTrump has more leverage and he knows it.\nCNN isn't being honest again ?

MEXICO CANADA MONEY TALKS, YOU WILL SOON HAVE TO ABIDE.

There are many city localities in Canada , where are too many chinese. But whole india has problem with Punjabis there , especially with Sikhs .

Canadian whites also have their homes in Europe. If they don't like Canada, they are free to go back. Indian or any other ethnicity has not invaded the country. It's their laziness and unproductive life styles that have forced their government to bring immigrants to the country to do some work and run the country. Instead of looking at the real problem and analyzing it, just make videos for personal gain. When Europeans invaded India, they too brought their culture in India, and that's the reason you see, Indians in India wearing trousers and shirts and not Dhoti. Whatever whites do is right, and if others do the same it's wrong. Please get out of this mentality, the world order is changing.

Those people have never been students. They went to Canada to work.

Canada is a dump

Tax payer's money squandered out on foreign aid instead if being invested back into this country is a disgrace for Canadians. It's come full circle since the great depression of the 1930's. Canada may be headed there again.

Send them all home, turn Canada back to what it was.. we are not Indian and we don't want them here.

Canada is finished. Full of fraude and aggressive indians, terrorist like khalistani and others. Its look like third world now. Bring all problema from other world. PR have no value as they given to everyone so easy. Its seems like canadian passport will be devlued and banned by other developed cpuntries soon too. Suggest to leave canada before other country make them black listed. ?

Because Canada is racist and too much corruption

Additional immigration problem of Canada rubbish.

Canada's corrupt Immigration office which systemically choose indian application visas over other nations is the reason why this is all happening !!

So basically, you(JT) bring migrants with giving them hope of PR because of demand and now throw them back because no demand. What do you think what will happen to their life? They left everything behind and moved to Canada because you gave them hope of PR and now they have to go back, their life is ruined. Don't give nonsense of bad actors or exploitation, fake colleges and you didn't know about it from first day! Sorry for those who migrated and now left on their own.

Canda is badly country don't go Indian ? Please think about your child future don't go for Canada study or business no good future it's struggle theme Open your eyes Indian

SO as a Texan, I can relate big spaces and safety; believe it still exists here, and I love it. BUT here's the thing. I'm not just sayin this to you but to let''s say California ..you can't. run from problems and as beautiful as Canada and California are, the solution is not to escape but FIGHT to get your land back . This destruction of democracy which in this case Canada is a socialist country, ..you cannot escape . It will eventually catch up . Don't leave it to others to do it YOU HAVE TO do it for your country . Believe me I love having a good time and travel, but there are times in which you have to be serious, work, and fight. Life is not a blog or a YouTube channel. Don't run fight for your country back.

Canada was taken hostage in 2015 when this evil and corrupt regime was voted in by the potheads. China ensured that they stayed in power ever since. Their insane taxes and woke agenda have destroyed the economy and the country. In under 10 years they destroyed a beautiful vibrant country and made it unaffordable to live in, destroyed health care, destroyed housing and flooded the country with too many criminals and leeches. They destroyed Alberta's oil and drove investment to other countries including China and Russia.

This is not that unusual in Canada and it is one of the most racist countries in the world!! They market themselves as the more tolerant and better version of the USA but that just hides the real ugliness of this country. I know, I lived there for 8 years before fleeing back to the USA. Even my children were not spared the hate — an elderly man tried to push down by 4 year old son in the ice crew line when he thought no one was looking. We often faced racial insults as we walked in the streets.

I think the only hope for canada is to split up and form smaller countries. Albertans are sick of sending transfer payment to Quebec and never seeing any of it again. BC is a lost cause, nobody wants them, they are socialist. Let quebec and toronto form their own country and speak french if they want to.

1 of 5 leave after 25 years on average. So this tells me canada is essentially a a permanent move for most immigrants.

Its only fair that internationals students and economic migrants leave when they comprise the majority of the people who were wrongfully brought to Canada and who are putting the most strain on infrastructure and services and housing.\n\nIt's not fair to the people who are multi-generational lineage to have their quality of life disrupted for people who should never have been brought to Canada and especially in such numbers.\n\nLeftists ruin nations, thankfully Canada is figuring this out before it's too late.

Canada is a Socialist shytehole and this regardless of what political party has been in power. But, the sheople just keep voting and playing the game.

Isn't this good news for Canada?! Why are we asking them to stay?!

Even immigrants are finding Canada to be not safe. It’s Expensive to live here, and also the liberal/NDP coalition keep jacking up taxes. I wanna leave Canada.

Canada is already in ruins because of inflation. and a dictator.

Many states in the US provide much better growth than Canada, Minnesota, texas maybe south Carolina and other states that have plenty of land and better paying jobs.

CANADA DOES NOT ANYMORE PEOPLE, THEY ARE FULL!!

Not welcome in Canada either.

Trump needs to put his border patrol at the northern border and catch them before they make it into Canada.

Canada is the super wild West of the rich. Only the truly rich people can live and survive in Ontario and BC. Sad truth is most immigrants come to Canada to get the citizenship because they cant go anywehere else, esp the US ???

If living in their homeland was so bad , why do they want to change Canada to the life style they left ? C A McLean

Mr.Poillievre should have just tossed both the speaker and Trudumb out of the country. Canada needs to be free from these two clowns.
