Originally posted by Jayx1 Ive posted the solution many times... We need to allow the skills and qualifications that immigrants come with to be accepted in Canada. I would not be against the government funding programs that ensure that foreign trained doctors and other professionals credentials match or exceed canadian standards. I would not support special education programs for immigrants only however. Their qualifications should be determined as acceptable to Canadian standards BEFORE they arrive. This would be a much better and more significant way to solve the problem of under-employed immigrants. Then from that point everything would be completely equal. I would outlaw qouta based hiring practices and implement that system.

I completely agree with you on that point. I am appalled at the state of our immigration. So many qualified people come here every year and have no chance of competing for jobs even though they might actually be more qualified than Canadian standards require. It's these bullshit policies that need to be changed or something put in place to valuate these peoples’ qualifications so they can compete for jobs on a level playing field.

bwwwahahahahahahaa...

thanks...I've been having a rough week...I needed a good laugh.

that is the most naive and ignorant statement I've heard in a while.

(don't confuse this with supporting that hiring policy...but if you think that all workplaces will "naturally" become diverse, you're just flat out wrong).

i think that diversity has been pounded into the 30 and under crowd that our generation is much more tolerant than even our parents.... its working itself out in spite of government racism

management in companies is still largely white males..."under 30-somethings" don't generally set hiring policies for big companies, for example.

yes, that is changing...but not quickly enough for the current generation...try telling someone that "in the near future" this will sort itself out. They want a job NOW (rightly so, no?).

that's the flipside of the arguement, anyway.

you know what? i completely agree. 100%. only problem is ..thats NOT happening. so take off the rose coloured glasses. i agree that quota systems are not the best way of solving the problem. i want to know what you think would be (or would have been) the most effective way of evening out the workforce. feel free to go into as much detail as possible. for once i'd like to hear a solution rather then a complaint
