Canadian Work Excuses

"You don't have any Canadian work experience." As immigrants, we apply for jobs, get the interview and then we're slammed with this comment. Our education, our global work experience and even our skills somehow can't match up to these "high" work expectations in Canada. And we continue to be denied a job.

Join Andrea and Hostion as they explore (through ranting) the harm denying a person a job can do - not just for a person but for Canada as a whole. Free labour, unpaid internships and even achieving a Canadian higher education shouldn't be the cost to be employed. There are ways to do better and these two immigrant friends have solutions. It's time for Canadian employers and Canada to listen.
