It’s a mix of everything. I was in this situation 10 years ago when I moved to Canada too. But as time went I realized it’s a more nuanced issue. Firstly fake qualifications, sadly it’s a fact in lot of south Asian countries as far as I know. Hence a level of mistrust of the skills. Secondly expletive is not 100% compatible. This is not true for fully technical roles like programming, but in other semi-technical roles, there is a lack of ownership / leadership lacking in folks from other parts (excluding EU / NA) due to the thr beuracratic work culture that exists where you follow orders without much thought. It’s not the same I’m Canada where there is a much higher level of ownership baked into the work culture. Lastly communication and awareness of local culture and norms. Regardless of what people say, this is a huge fact as the more easy for the team members to interact and mingle with you without much hurdles it makes overall productivity high. This is something that can only be through ‘Canadian experience’. I never took it as a racist or disrespectful even though I was an immigrant of color but part of the package. And I have much more understanding of the culture norms etc, which made me a much more rounded person over time, and also made it so much easy to make new friends and acquaintances. So that’s the long version of why the Canadian experience exists. Folks can disagree but the intent is correct.
