Landed in July last year, two months later, knew about NOW programe which can gave professional new immigrants "canadian experience", so excited, called for more information, was told that I had to provide LINC assessment document to prove my English lever is above 6, hesitate but decided finally to obey this regulation(wait another two months to get LINC assessment result), then , returned to register meanwhile saw
other persons register this programe directly without LINC document.
Asked these persons curiously, was told that called the receptionist as many times as possible and probably you would get a chance when the staff was in a good mood, that's it!
The first canadian experience i got: if someone tells you there is a regulation here,don't trust him/her at all, persistent in breaking it, you will get what you want finally.
2)Another three months later, I got the interview to attend the NOW program, talked with interviewer very well,she said" you have good english and wonderful skills, we won't miss you in Canada, you can get
results after a couple of days." so,called after two days to follow up the status,knew although i was selected, i have to wait another four months
to take part in because too many people there, was angry but try my best to understand this matter, waited another four months honestly, attended the class in June, there was a lady to introduce her experience, said she landed in Toronto in March this year, registered without LINC assessment and attended the NOW program in May because there was a space at that time. I was stuned, there is a space for persons who registered later,there is no space for persons who have been waiting for several months?what's wrong with me?
Experience: Honest means nothing here but losing something. No fighting, No right!
3)Fortunately,I got volunteer placement after class, during interview, the
boss(chinese young guy) told me there are 5 employees in his company,one of them is a senior QA, excited again, because do want to
learn something from a experienced one. began my work from July,2nd, after two days, found nobody except the boss, asked him where the senior QA is? took another young guy for me, asked this guy to know that he was a part-time programmer here, confused but still continued to report bugs every day,after one module test(found almost 30
bugs one week), boss gave me oral promise that he can give me a contract job after this month, excited the third time. After two days,one night,he said my bug report was bad, at that time, it was over 9:00 pm, i was tired and i had to go home because this is the maintain phase,there is no deadline of this project, he preferred me to stay there untill midnight to help him to fix the bugs, i promised him to rewrite this tomorrow, i couldn't realize this would be the reason for him to stop my work. Tomorrow, my co-op teacher called me , said the boss called him to stop the work placement because my english is too bad, i wrote weird words which he couldn't understand. i asked the boss to tell me the truth instead of an excuse because i don't think my english is so bad, he answered" i am the boss, i have right to select the person i want to stay with", i said nothing but leaving.Before this, someone told me that you should try your best to let everybody love you during the co-op period, so, even if there is no chance, they would creat a chance for you, i laughed at this view, dreamed to get job by my abilities, what can i get? nothing! how stupid I am!
The third tip: open your eyes and use your brain during the interview and first day when you got there, don't go to a small company(less than 10 persons ) unless you have no choice
The fourth one: For a male, it is enough to be neither arrogant nor groveling, but for a female, it's not enough, pls,keep smiling, no matter how serious the circumstance is,please, show your soft skills First, work
ability? it is just for reference. trust me!
