Unfortunately most new immigrants believe media and politicians will make a difference. In fact, it is more helpful to learn the laws and the rules than going to the media.作者: yiii 时间: 2007-2-10 15:52 标题: NO labor job, must a professional job Did she get liquid license? I don't understand? Can someone tell me what possibility she will run the small business well enought to support her life? I think it is very hard for her to survive in canada without profit from her restaurant.
liquild license is very important for her to make money. but guess what happy it is bad to her to handle on some many over-drunk man, a single woman, very very hard. I know the first day she only have six guests, how can she make money?
why does she find a professional job, even a labor job, as the min. wage will reach $ 10 hourly. do you know how much my friend earn hourly in small business? Less than $ 6 hourly for a convienience store. How do you move to canada without any skills? Find a job please!作者: 文森特 时间: 2007-2-10 18:50

首先由衷的恭喜王女士 只可惜活动范围离饭店太远 不太有机会去光顾，如果有机会经过的话 还是会来帮衬下的。
嘉语, you may call me uncle. Calling someone 大嫂 is subtle aggression.
I have registered my small business a few years ago. The whole process was easy and took about 2 weeks, and could be done online.
It is the owner's responsibility to file for a business registration. We don't go to the media and twist the facts to solicit support from the Chinese community, unless the government is very unreasonable and their behaviour will cause us undue hardship.
Passport application is a good example. Because of the new border regulations with USA, there are thousands of passport applications now. We can't book our travel package and blame the government not issuing you a passport, though it takes much longer now.
I know the license is Fiona's survival. The license is part of her business plan, just like passport is part of our travel plan.
Don't go to the media, unless the media is your last resort. It is like "cry wolf". The community will care less next time a wolf is coming.作者: 玫瑰香水 时间: 2007-2-12 14:50 最初由[Sedona]发布
May I join the conversation?

谢谢您的支持。但我想您一样会被胡搅蛮缠的驳斥的
This is one of the best threads in 51 and the discussion has been very stimulating.
If Fiona didn't go to the media, it is none of everyone's business. Since she chose to go to the media, her case has become a public interest affecting everyone. I would like to ask a few questions.
1. Was the government wrong? The info was confusing. How long did Fiona spend on registrating her business. If it is unreasonably long, she has a case. Otherwise, she was abusing the media and the community support for her self-interest.
2. Do we have to abide by the laws, rules and regulations? Chinese community tends to use the media to by-pass the laws, rules and regulations. Every time one of us is in trouble with the laws, we go to the media to paste an image as a victim. The community reacts and blames the government. Fiona, like others who went to the media in the past year, has set very bad precedence that we don't have to abide by the law. We just go to the media.
3. Are you satisfied with the performance of CTTV? CTTV probably wants to claim the credit because of them Fiona received the registration. Did CTTV provide enough information for the community to judge? Did CTTV realize they provided a short cut to Fiona instead of playing their role watching and monitoring the government's wrong doing, iif any in this case?
This case is a very good case for community education. It explains some reasons why it is so difficult for new Chinese immigrants to integrate into the Canadian society.
