在Co-op Canex Program裡,有很多都是技術移民來的,其中有Biochemical,Biomedical, Accounting,IT 專業等等,有些同學都無法找到屬於自己專業領域的工作,一年,兩年還有四年以上的.

那他們這段時間都靠什麼過活呢? 有很多同學都半都是找Surviver Job, 例如店員(目前聽到的是如此,可能還有其他案例 ,待後續發掘).本來我想只有華人才會有這樣的待遇 ,卻驚奇的發現裡面有蘇俄,羅馬尼亞,哥倫比亞,印度, 巴基斯坦, 斯洛伐克等等國籍的新移民.甚至每年有超過20萬新移民來加拿大,卻也有一半的新移民灰心的回到祖國(從台灣來的應該也是一部分 ).

課堂中有一位墨西哥裔的Mr. Luis Flores新移民,前兩年曾經參加過這個Program ,他是從事電影製作的,也曾經花過三年才透過這個課程獲得Plac ement,請注意這課程只是提供給你Placement機會 (沒有薪水己付的工作),而不是真正的工作! 不過Placement成為你的工作那倒是有可能的~

他來課程裡招演員願意將自己的經驗(面談,生活等等) ,透過紀錄片的拍攝分享給其他人,這個需要一年時間 ,也許就可能會出現在電視頻道裡~ 我沒有勇氣去參加,因為畢竟比較低調,僅希望透過加拿大隨筆來跟人 家分享,卻不願意亮相於鏡頭下!

我期待這個紀錄片的早日完成拍攝,好讓我們這些新移民, 能夠吐吐一些心理的話,讓政府及社會知道,加拿大還有這麼多的專業人士無法進入之專業就業市場,來協助加拿大的經濟.千萬不讓他們抱著滿心希望來加拿大,卻沮喪失望的回到故鄉!

附上一些同學的背景,但是省掉他們的姓名,這些都是透過網站上自我介紹:
