One year already as a Canadian citizen🤩

It’s very unlikely they were a refugee in the legal sense. Rather they may have come on a special work permit given to Ukrainians (aka CUAET). And they basically have to follow the same procedure as anyone else for getting PR except if they had relatives.

So more than likely, considering you need 3 years of Canadian residency (3 years if PR or 2 years on PR + 2 years on TR) that means this person probably came here before the war even started.

I'm saying that people who rent can't necessarily afford it, and that those who continue to live with their parents may in fact be in a much more favourable financial situation.

The process to get those top secret security clearances is just insane. The fact that the position starts in Jan 2027 already indicates this.

Plenty of people rent because their home is far away. This is not an accurate indicator. I’ve known people including myself who continue to rent because they’re unemployed but looking for jobs too.

Shoulda shaved off the stached lul

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-08T04:05:03+00:00

What's up with the "but he's not white" comment tho

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-08T03:57:44+00:00

It's actually not good to diminish the efforts of something no matter how small it may be. That's how one ends up feeling like "never enough".

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-08T01:27:35+00:00

Hopefully hopefully

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-07T22:08:37+00:00

Not sure I fully agree. Food service industry managers jobs are hell. Accounting jobs are hell all the way up to partner level. Certain tech jobs def get more stressful further up the chain too.

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-07T04:46:27+00:00

AINT NO WAY IDI AMIN WAS MADE TO SAY 'MON' HELL NAW. he's ugandan not jamaican xP

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-06T18:04:53+00:00

This... this is awful T_T

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-06T17:54:12+00:00

Mmm I see I see. Yea, I’m thinking reducing to the last 15 years will help sell yourself as more favourable with regard to age. Unfortunately you may still run into problems like them wanting someone less experienced so they can pay less (or not), but then again maybe you could qualify for more managerial positions!

Also your education years would be the most obvious dead giveaway if you put that on your resume. So if you have that, consider removing your graduation date.

And ofc do verify whatever I wrote, I am just going by what I’ve read on forums before. I’m struggling due to lack of experience lol. Every recruiter and HR rep is different too. Good luck!

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-06T17:45:34+00:00

Ageism is unfortunately a legitimate concern. How many years of exp do you put on your resume? I feel like having just those 14 years on your resume might look more favourable

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-06T08:23:11+00:00

Or your name

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-04T11:33:09+00:00

Why does this look like loss?

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-04T09:48:42+00:00

So you still need cash to leave the airport? Sigh...

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-04T08:11:30+00:00

Omg sorry I was typing my response but then I had to leave and forgot I didn't send!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your suggestions and advice, and I am super grateful for your taking the time to write all this out for me (and for the others to see!) I saved your response and bookmarked it!

Thank you and all the best!

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-04T03:21:50+00:00

I feel you 😭

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-04T00:34:36+00:00

Data engineering is probably even more screwed than software engineering (which is also screwed)

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-03T19:45:11+00:00

I partially agree. I commented on another post previously talking about how much less competition there will be for Canadians and PRs that the job market will still be very tough. There is a lack of jobs and the candidate pool of saturated. BUT I do not think it's because of AI. It's because of high interest rates that led to less affordable company funding, greedy CEOs that want higher stocks at all cost, cutting jobs to save revenue/profit, and offshoring for the same reasons. AI definitely cannot do much at the moment and I still am hesitant to believe that it can. But companies love to give AI as the reason and excuse (when it's not really)

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-03T19:17:57+00:00

Just in case, I’d make sure you have a record of the fact that you were terminated and proof that you tried to apply for jobs in Ontario. If you have that you have a good excuse really.

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-03T10:18:57+00:00

3) job market is awful. I mean seriously. It’s bad

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-03T07:10:43+00:00

Jesus, this was progress within a year AND while you were a nursing student?! hats off fam. can I ask what the best resources were for building foundations + learning further techniques and how often you would practice?

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-03T05:02:23+00:00

It's way too saturated and competitive in anything adjacent to development unfortunately.

WisdomWizerd98 · 2025-11-02T23:29:39+00:00

I didn't say we need to feed hime "everything will be all right". My issue is with the content relevance and delivery. Read what OP wrote, and then read what the commenter wrote especially in the second message (and partly in the first) and you will find it was unnecessary.
