Immigration woes
(TrackBack)Going back to the immigration situation, which was meant to change for the better this week. My job sponsor heard back from the Canadian Human Resources Department saying that he hadn't advertised in enough places for a Canadian to fill the position. So now he's forced to place ads in the city press, local press and on the web, which is fair enough, but surely if he's gone to the time and effort to try and employ and immigrant, any applications are going to be looked on less favourably, it just seems a little pointless.
It amazes me why they make it so hard for a skilled worker to get into the country for a legitimate reason and job when every day the press is reporting on the status of a) illegal immigrants b) diminishing population c) lack of skilled workers within the current employment pool?
Edit: Joy - $300 paid to place an Ad that is effectively useless.
