多倫多比上海的生活更艱難！

Life is tough everywhere, but why I feel tougher in Canada than in China

(When you are reading this article, you will say: look, how funny the English writing is, this is the reason why you have no job here. But if you have opportunity to live in China, three years passed, you maybe can not write a short essay. Nevertheless when you can write down only several beautiful Chinese characters, peoples will praise you truly that: Oh, how great are you! Is this different?)

More than three years ago, our family-my wife, me with our 3 years old son landed Toronto with a great longing for a bright future in Canada. When we found it very hard for us to have a stable job and live here, we went back to China.

Three years past, we came back to Toronto. Our second lovely son was born here. But this time I must bring him back to China, and leave the old son here, the brothers will be separated .

WHY? This is a question we asked ourselves all the time!

Before coming to Canada, I had worked in  a national architecture & engineering institute with over 500 engineers for 8 years, and operated my own consultants firm successfully for 3 years in one of the
largest business cities-- Shanghai. Then I was invited to join a real estate company invested by American as Director and General Engineer, the company has more than 1000 acres Hi-tech AG-Bioscience Park to develop. Under my leadership, only one and half years, the overall design finished and an international conference center, a state-of-the-art headquarter, two 390,000 sq-ft ecology multi-used  buildings constructed. So I trist my own competence in  finding a job here.

Inspired by the growing economy of Canada, I and my wife,   who is a senior editor and graduated as a master from a famous foreign university in Shanghai, kept searching job here: post our resumes in the website, delivered to numerous companies, asked our relatives and friends  to introduce for us, dropped the varied intermediary offices…but finally we received respond most like this:」 After reviewing your resume we have determined that although your skills and experience are very impressive, however,  they do not match our current requirements. We thank you again for your continued interest in XXX and wish you much success in your future endeavors.」 We were told that, we must work as a labor first, to lift goods in the factory or anything but no professional job.

We know that we lack of north-America experience, have to improve English skill, and get more training, but the abilities we do have are over basis requirement, we have experience to cooperate with Canadians, Americans and Europeans. Even though it is not enough, but if we have no chance to enter in, how can they judge we cannot? We felt that, in fact, most of them really dislike to even give us a chance to take a try only. Does the society really want us just work as labors forever? I think the answer is: 「YES!」 in their mind, only for they are shame  to speak out.

We were not born natively, we sometimes offend your culture by mistake , we short your experience, and we are colorful…BUT
Maybe we have world wide experience, we are improving every day to practice as a good manner man, the professional experience will be more useful than only fluent English , and we can richen you multi-cultural…

If one ignores we possess and that we are exerting ourselves, then is he/her a hypocrite?

We are appreciated for the kind smile from your face, but we are also need your truly help when we are struggling for the life, can you? What the answer will be?

We immigrated here because we are professional men under your government』s evaluation; but landed, discovered we are nobody! Where has gv the 「kind」 and 「congratulation」 gone? Where is the hope gone? Where is the you honor generous gone？Where is the basis fair gone? Where is the conscience gone?

I had been worked hard to promote myself. I spent more than 40 hours with little sleep to prepared a full and accurate data economy analysis English speech of China for a local energy company who has business in China, but when I finished the lecture, no one gave me a cup of water, they looked like as it was what I should do for them, even no any pay; I dropped in a famous firm here once by once, because they want eagerly to make money from China, I can do help, the result is I should bear all the cost travel back and travel in China to explore the market for them, if they made money，I will have my commission, then maybe consider my job application; I gave lectures on the real estate market comparison research for the communities by free successfully, at the end, no one showed even a little solicitude for our unemployed situation, someone conversely to lobby me buying house, buying insurance and so on, I was confused that if a hen have no food to eat, can she lay eggs?
I have made great efforts, I have spent a lot of money and energy here for nearly half years, no any gain. What is the problem with me? What is the problem with Toronto? What is the problem with Canada? Only human right are free and no hungry here?

I am thinking if my immigration to Canada is the worst decision I have made?

I am deciding to go back my motherland.

I know that compare with losing dignity of human personality, everything is no meaning;

I know that I can devote all my energy there and be respected as a professional expert;

I know that I can achieve a lot when I do my best, honor be a senior managing director；

I know that a lot of people will be glad to make friends with me, not only just a smile;

I know that a real good country not only gives one free, but great chance to develop;

I know that a lot of immigrates are thinking the same thing like me.

It is time to go back.

I will tell the others the stories in Toronto; let them find the answers for themselves that: whether or not the life is really tougher here for an immigrant? What is the meaning to immigrate to Canada? [/COLOR]

at least the writer has the courage to write it. it is worth applauding, isn't it?

Life can be very trying. When we are down in the dumps it is hard to figure out where we are. To tell the truth, I didn』t have a job three years after I came to the States, I still spoke broken English then, I could not express myself in writing, I worked as a waiter to earn a monthly stipend five times less than I was supposed to, I didn』t expect to be respected as professional one day, and I had no clue what was a senior managing director for, and I didn』t know about the real meanings of being in North America, but during that period  I learnt how to communicate with my broken English, how to make friends and how to smile at people no matter that they liked me or not. I hope you can hear what I am saying, step outside the situation and think about your friends and loved one around you as well as their support and expectation. Don't let the temporary trouble mess up all your daily lives and career plans, put them behind you, regroup yourself and obtain counsel of others. Sooner or later, you will step out of the circumstances and get back on the track towards your goals.

我很仔細地看了樓主的文章和別人的貼子，我不能很好地用英語表達我的意思，所以我用中文來說吧。我沒有在國外找工作的經驗，但我對樓主的的境遇能夠理解。我從樓主的字裡行間感受到你的失望，也同時體會到樓主現在的心態很壞，但我認為樓主沒有從自身找原因，只是抱怨加拿大人應該怎樣怎樣，我認為這不是一個好的解決辦法的態度，你免費給別人提供了很多信息，是你自願的，別人沒有要求你，你也沒要求別人給你什麼，你只是期待別人主動地給你所要的。也許別人並不知道你的處境，他們建議你買房子也說明了這一點，有問題你不說別人怎麼會知道呢，人家也許認為你只是熱心地幫助他們而已，因為你沒有提任何要求。
樓主認為自己在國內原來是個人物，所以到國外去也想人家尊敬自己，起點很高，一旦沒有實現自己的預期，心態便變壞了，以樓主這樣的心態去找工作，找到好工作也難。

說的不一定對，僅供參考。

不知道作者能不能讀到這些信息, 我也是心有餘而力不足, 因為我只是借用而已!

"this is a land easiest to live!" said an american friend. her grand mother walked from maryland to wisconsin to montana and half a century later she graduated from a liberal college in Pennsylvania.

we take it as granted that when we came here, we would start over again no matter who and what we had been before. it is granted because we know there is no exception and everybody did it-- start from scratch. the moment when you accept this unworthiness of yourself, you are getting ready for a thing you will think to be most worthwhile: to live on this free land.

very good points. as long as our attitude is good and accept whatever we  have now, what's more, try our  best to improve our current  unsatisfied situation-for example, develop ourselves  with good knowledge and shape ourselves in a sutiable position.

if we keep on doing that, I bet our  life will be better and better!

remember, please don't complain, because complaining just adds our burden, which only worsen our moods, so try our best to solve problems, don't let the problems  bother us. I mean we should take possitive steps to whatever happend to us...

Using our hearts to face all kinds of issues, then we will get over them!

good luck! friends!

If you don't believe, please give it a try!
