My Canadian Experience
I am a structural designer for a mid size company, about 15 people. I have been to Canada for 3 years.
When I came here, I worked for a large company (200 people) for free for 4 month. I just wanted to get some Canadian experience. The did not pay me anything. My company hired me 2 years ago, and my salary was about $15/Hr + medical plan + vacation. My salary was increased three times within these two years plus bouns before Christmas. I averaged it, and I am making more than $25/hr now. I am happy.
My advices to all new comers are:
1. do not give up your job as a structural engineer,
2. try to improve your English as soon as possible,
3. get a job first, if the pay is too low, with your Canadian experience jump to another company,
4. never expect the company to pay you as you are in China, because the company knows you have no Canadian design expericnce, any they will train you. Improve your design experience while you are working, and ask questions.
5. If you work hard,the company will know, and you will get more money than anybody else.
Very good writing! I hope this will help our Chinese new immigrants, thanks for sharing.
