Canadians report in, how do we make a living in this country? The economy has completely collapsed, there's very little employment opportunities, taxes are high as fuck, government regulations make entrepreneurship near impossible. Our economy has been reduced to scamming foreigners for tuition money and selling overpriced shit quality houses, the only stable employment is working for the government. Is the only option escaping to America or the UK?
>>972594
Pretty much breh.
Trying my best to get my tight lil ass into Queen's so I can get a degree that is actually valued in the rest of the world and moving away.
Fuck Canada, this country is shit and so is its government, taxes, people and everything in it.

I work in Alberta in a field that resells US made products. my line of work relies on easy credit and a strong CAD. So I don't know either dude.

I'm in law school at UBC and wondering what the fuck is going on in Canada. The regulations strangling entrepreneurship are really unfortunate. This country has potential but we're getting wrecked.

This country is a shithole. FUCK Canada
I want out but no where else looks very appealing, either.
I'm thinking online business is safest well the CAD is low for max conversion profit. However, shipping from Canada costs out the ass so even that feels less viable.

Why do you fags live in such shit places? How did you even get there in the first place
Yup I'm here for Petroleum masters, probably gonna leave again asap. I like Canadians but your govt seems to just take the worst decisions
>>973177
Born here, family lives here. My entire father's side of the family is big into agricultural business and they make some hard cash from it. I don't really see any of that money, though, so it's not like I'm sitting on a fat inheritance or trust fund.
Though everyone in my family seems to 'wish they hadn't settled down in Saskatchewan' it's not worth moving for them, not just for business reasons but for being so close to family.
>tfw you just want out to become successful elsewhere
I'll visit, but this province in and of itself is hopeless. We even have a shortage of doctors because we have so little to offer compared to other provinces.
>>973226
What do you people even do in Saskatchewan? Do you have reliable internet? Is there many stores? Is it pretty much a desolate wasteland?
>>973228
Most people drink or do drugs. I live in one of the bigger cities but that isn't saying much. Everyone I've met who comes from Regina is a degenerate, no exceptions so far. Fair warning to any Canadians here.
There is reliable internet, stores, etc. It's not so different, though lots of small towns scattered around. There is very little to do in terms of entertainment/big stores opening up, though, because
1) our economy sucks so we're stingy with dollerydoos
2) not a high enough population in any given place to have adequate amount of customers, for the most part
Everyone who does something with themselves leaves. Cabelas (sports/hunting store) is pretty popular.
People here are kind of like hicks in my honest opinion. Not super progressive
>>973240
Sounds terrible.
And I thought Ontario was a shithole.
>>973269
Don't get me wrong, Ontario is shit (though I've only stayed there for a year before). But compared to Saskatchewan, it's mostly golden. You guys have a lot of weirdos though, I'd think the crack was in the water supply or some shit.

Like Canada is absolute garbage in terms of entertainment, sports(olympics i don't even want to touch on, W E S U C K), technology sector, every sector really.
It just seems like a place you stay at to get an education and maybe some experience then leave with no looking back.

Thats pretty much it. Next couple of years here are going to be filled with a LOT of foreclosures. Homes in Ft. Mac have already dropped 100k in a year.

Foreclosures in Ontario? I don't believe it pham.
House prices are fucking exuberant, anything in Toronto is minimum $1million. Everywhere slightly less.
I want to move to Canada but the choice of profession i have gone with (Government Funded Public Tard Wranger Aka police officer) is not a legitimate for immigration there.
What kind of other avenues do i have for immigration? I live in the UK currently.
>>973467
>What kind of other avenues do i have for immigration? I live in the UK currently
You don't want to come to Canada.
The UK is infinitely better than our shithole. Tons of people who came from the UK said you don't make jack fucking shit here, salaries are higher in the UK.
ITT: Poorfags who live in buttfuck nowhere looking for someone else to blame for their lack of success.
>>973472
Not blaming anyone, phamily.
Just tired of our feminists, SJWs, fuck-high taxes, shit healthcare, terrible infrastructure, low salaries, lack of jobs because no one wants to start companies here and every industry is more or less dead, shit everything really.
I can't think of anything good about Canada besides (a few) somewhat decent universities, overall pretty safe and ... Well that's it.
>>973471
Well im a police officer here and i looked at the basic salaries of a Ottwa officer and they are almost 45k British pound convertedcompared to my basic which is like 31k with London allowance included pre-tax

With the unrest in Ukraine im thinking about pretending im a refugee from the region, seems to be easier then any of the other bullshit that i'd need to fufil.
>>973485
>With the unrest in Ukraine im thinking about pretending im a refugee from the region
Yeah fucking right.
We haven't taken a single refugee from Ukraine into Canada. In fact I heard 0 talk about it whatsoever. I was actually thinking about this earlier.
But now refugees from Syria? SIGN US UP BRO. Such a fucking joke our retarded government was dead-set on taking into 25k syrian refugees in a little over a month but now decided to just take 10k and take the rest later. Even though there's been huge commotion over how it's hard to screen them in such little time.
Maybe if you pretended to be a Syrian refugee... Who was gay. Yeah our government only wishes to take Syrian women and child now... And gay men. Now sure how they'll check if you're gay though, I think the officials might bent over to let the refugees fuck them in the ass for proof of homosexuality.
Fuck this shit country i fucking hate Canada
>>973466
Uh, no, Alberta and sask, the provinces that have been giving the country positive figures for years.
You better believe BC and Ontario are going to tank eventually though.
>>973490
>Alberta and sask, the provinces that have been giving the country positive figures for years.
Only because of the jobs and population size tho.
Saskatchewan has less than 1/13th of Ontario's population.

Where else would you rather live you kek?

>>973607
>-US has a shittier economy, shittier health care overall
What? All the good companies are in the US, they have MUCH higher salaries as well as plenty more jobs.
Their healthcare actually treats you more or less immediately rather than in Canada where you wait for 8 hours in the emergency room or 5+ months for an MRI or a specialist.
>-Most of Europe is taking in more refugees
True
>-Scandinavian countries are the kind of socialist shit you're against
Wasn't talking about them
>-Middle East/Asia are shit central
Yes agreed
>You're probably just a useless unemployable NEET DESU, please leave this country, we don't want you
You're the one that's probably a NEET. If you think our economy isn't completely fucked.
Tell me one industry in Canada that isn't completely fucked. Everything is crumbling, there's no jobs because no one wants to start a company here and WE PRODUCE NOTHING. Nothing at all, all the good jobs are overseas, which is where most of our student head for co-op, and grads head for fulltime employment.
DID YOU KNOW how many Canadians leave Canada?
Here's something for ya.
>As of a 2010 report by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, there were 2.8 million Canadian citizens abroad (plus an unknown number of former citizens and descendents of citizens). For comparison, that is a larger population than six of the ten Canadian provinces. More than 9% of all Canadian citizens live outside of Canada. That compares to 1.7% of Americans, 2.6% of Chinese citizens, 3.3% of French citizens, 4.3% of Australians, 9% of British citizens, and 21.9% of New Zealanders.[1]
More than 4x as many Canadian citizens live outside of Canada. Gee I wonder why. It can't be... BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING SHITHOLE FAGGOT COUNTRY

Damn bruh was going to do this tbqh
Toronto fag here
I was making 18.25/hr operating forklift/reachtruck at a big distribution centre. Worked up to 60 hours a week so I got a fuck ton of overtime.
I've gone back to school to learn machining/ tool & die. My buddy makes 80k a year just operating a CnC machine in the Toronto area.
My tool & die professor came back from Mexico. He says Canadian aerospace, and auto companies are sending Canadian machinists, mill wrights, tool and die guys down to Mexico, and they're all just banking money.
My professor was doing some sort of laser lining with a Canadian aerospace manufacturer in Mexico, and he was getting over $80 bucks an hour, and was allowed to work up to 80 hours a week.
It's the new oil sands for Canadians.
You've got to complete your apprenticeship first, and get your "journeyman" ticket. Otherwise companies won't consider you for these jobs.
Honestly, if you live in the Greater Toronto area, just get a forklift job right after highschool, and do that until you figure out what you want to do with your life.

>>973750
Ok then tell me how is he life here good?
Healthcare is shit. Taxes are beyond ridiculous, half of the population of the relevant cities(Vancouver and Toronto) is Chinese or Indian. Economy sucks, no jobs. We elected a weed smoking man.
What positives are there to this Godawful country?
>>973753
Please shut up.
You smoke weed, and jack off to kek porn in your mom's basement.
What the fuck are you doing to improve your situation?
>>973753
You exaggerate everyhing. Sure the oil sands have slowed down but I dont see people in the burbs sucking dicks to surive. Wah wah you cant get ANOTHER 60 inch flatscreen for Christmas this year.
I live in Vancouver, live 2 blocks from English bay with a kickass view of the mountains and ocean and have a kickass euro girlfriend who cooks me breakfast on our days off.
and really "HALF" of the pop is Chinese or Indian? Fuck off. THere are a lot of ching chongs here but its still mostly white. Surrey and the outlying areas do have loads of brown people though.
>>973753
>also healthcare is shit
I'm not a fucking fatass and the only time I've ever been in a hospital when I was born. Any time I need to see a doctor I can get in within a few days and I'm on my way.
>>973760
>and really "HALF" of the pop is Chinese or Indian?
It certainly feels like it at least in Ontario.
Pretty high in Vancouver tho, and it's not slowing down any time soon. Pic related.
Also Chinese investors keep buying up homes which doesn't allow ACTUAL Canadians living in this country to afford to buy a home.
>>973757
>You smoke weed, and jack off to kek porn in your mom's basement.
But I don't do either of those.
>What the fuck are you doing to improve your situation?
What am I suppose to be doing? Lynching shitskins?
I can't change our retarded prime minister, our sky-high taxes or our terrible economy which our government put all our chips into oil for a decade.
>>973763
>I'm not a fucking fatass and the only time I've ever been in a hospital when I was born. Any time I need to see a doctor I can get in within a few days and I'm on my way
So if I get injured I'm just suppose to bleed to death in the emergency room of a supposedly first world country?
And appointments for specialists are usually AT LEAST 3 months, there has been reputable studies done showing that the wait times in Canada to see a specialist has often times either put the patient at significant risk of worsening their condition, or actually worsening it and requiring further treatment.
WHAT THE FUCK am I paying such high taxes for when I don't even get to use the healthcare?
>>973767
So you're doing nothing. That's what I thought.
>>973770
>So you're doing nothing. That's what I thought.
Give me a suggestion.
What can I do to change our shitty government, our retarded policies and fix the economy? I'll do it right now if you tell me how. There is nothing to do.
People will vote for a fucking curly haired faggot because "he's cute" and he promised to legalize marijuana.
But wait we're getting refugees by 2016, this should really help us when we need to sustain a couple 10 thousand of people

youre paying taxes to help more pakis and chinks bring their elderly parents to Canada so they can become citizens and start getting those sweet sweet benefits while commiting insurance fraud and lounging all day. not to mention they breed like rabbits = more child care cheques = more money to bring their friends intot he country too.

Tv is ain't better, stupid infotainment and try-hard tv show that try to copy american productions. No wonder why i don't own a Tv.

Ya, and some specialized school who live off subventions by spreading this kind of messages, like trucking school crying about trucker shortage but when you look at job offers there is very few and ask 5-10 years experience and low wage. A friend of mine told me he asked his company (trucking) to do a bit less hours (they pushed him beyond the regular 70h/week) and they told him that if he don't want to work there is 10 guys behind the fence waiting to take his place.
And even specialized job are getting lower wages now, they pushed so much for people to go to school that now there is a too high ratio of graduates compared to the available jobs. So instead of having 2 bachelors for one spot now there is 20.

Any tips for trying to get a job in the US after graduating?
>tfw prolly gonna go to UofC cus my grades are shit tier and I can't afford to live without my parents

Try to get a US co-op or something at least, that'd be your best bet probably to solidify your chances
>>975845
Prolly gonna apply for Commerce(I'll go finance) or engineering. I'll try for a co-op senpai thx.
My Canadian buddy was just talking about this last night. He lives in America now (got married to a Dr.). He's been buying Canadian cars, flying up there and then driving them back. He said he gets them for about 75% of what they go for in the states because Canada's economy is so fucked right now.
>>975847
Yeah senpai. Do everything you can to get into co-op, make sure your GPA is high enough(don't just go for the minimum it's usually a bit higher than that), network as much as you can and maybe get some EC's or at least join a few clubs, preferably relevant to finance.

You go to the USZ. That's all you deserve. We don't want sell-outs in Canada. Canada, in a decade, is gonna put the world to shame. Move your asses Americans. Hurry up and do something. F**k you for wanting to keep USZ on the top. Viva the giant topplers (Canucks).
Work part time at GO Transit/Metrolinx for 29$ an hour while studying to be an electro-mechanical engineering at school.
Got lucky with the job I guess, but I hate the program I'm taking. Not sure if I'm going to drop out but I have about a semester left and a half left (until may) to graduate.

Canada's credit rating got downgraded in 1995. Our key lending rate was 10 times higher than, what it is today. And our currency was much lower than what it is even today. But after 3 calls that I made to CFRB (News Talk 1010) AM radio, people got a big kick in the ass and started to move. Now the whole world is coming at me to stop my love for my country's economic health. Till just a year ago our currency was worth more than that of the USZ's. I challenge the world to attack Canada. It's too late. The key move has been made. And you are gonna be left in the dust soon.

I did not imply that you absolute idiot.
I said that we shouldn't hire people, ESPECIALLY TO GOVERNMENT POSITIONS just to make it gender balanced. Women should be hired because they're the best for the job, not because we have too many men somewhere.
Enforcing a gender balanced cabinet only hurts both men and women, because now when a woman is chosen people have to question whether she earned it by her own merit, or just to fulfill a gender quota.
bump, faggots getting btfo left and right ITT
I've never been more proud of this country. We are dedicated to showing the world that we are a welcoming, inclusive nation of open minded, loving people, who are committed to climate change. The truth is these refugees are a net benefit to our society -- literally every expert had been saying this on CBC. Syrian refugees are less likely to commit terrorism than our own home grown Muslims. That goes to show, even in 2015, we have a long way to go to make this group feel more welcome.
Canada is choosing to make a bold statement as our neighbors to the south bicker over a measly 10k refugees. Please America, let us take them for you since you're obviously too bigoted to show any compassion. They will become Canadians. And they will be treated like Canadians. After all, in the words of the newly christened prime minister Justin Trudeau "a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. Sunny ways friends, sunny ways".

85'd get you into Lolrier... it's actually good for biz even though the campus looks like dystopian Russia. You might be able to do rotman too
>>976840
Idk senpai... When I think about it, in theory Laurier BBA should be like top-tier only second maybe to Queen's or something.
For several reasons:
1) More scholorships, lots of free dough(cheaper tuition by a lot than Ivey or Queen's Commerce)
2) Has much better co-op than any other biz school, let alone ivey, schulich or Queens which don't have it at all. Much better for money(graduate with little to no debt) AND like a year of experience which makes up for any prestige loss compared to other schools
3) Is actually not that bad, at least by linkedin stats for IB it's tied with McGill and above Ivey/Schulich, pic in my post here: >>976337
It really seems p good tbqh. Just the co-op reason seems sufficient since getting actual exp before graduating should help tons...
>>976840
>>976847
So basically...
Queens:
>graduate at least like $60k in debt(need line of credit + osap i think)
>minimal work experience(summer or if I get into internship)
>One of most reputable school
Memeier:
>Graduate with positive dosh thanks to all the free dosh, cheaper tuition and co-op

Should I come from Ontario to study in BC?
Is it hella expensive?
>>977005
if you do, you will probably have to live in Vancouver or Victoria, both of which are incredibly expensive cities.
I personally would not, I went all the way to Toronto to study so I could go to UFT.
however, living here is really nice, and if you live in the countryside or a smaller city you don't have to put up with astronomical housing prices.
>>977010
>I personally would not, I went all the way to Toronto to study so I could go to UFT.
UofT is shit... Why would you? What are you studying?
Don't you guys have a bit cheaper tuition over there? Unless I have reading problems or didn't notice something in BC tuition is at least a few thousand cheaper.
>>977019
went to UFT for polisci and law, degrees from uft look much better and are a lot more well known, the school was alright but most employers seem to think it's the highest standard of academia.
Our tuition prices are indeed lower; but you are probably going to end up paying more in the end because of the fucking insane cost of living in Vancouver
>>977026
>because of the fucking insane cost of living in Vancouver
How much is it?
Ontario isn't much lower in most places I'd imagine. Also is SFU a meme? Should I only go to UBC
>>977033
SFU is decent for science and technology, but a degree from it is definitely not as good looking as one from UBC.
The cost of living is pretty crazy in Vancouver, be prepared to pay 1.4K a month for a glorified closet if you can land a good deal. if you live in or near down-town Vancouver, it's pretty realistic to pay anywhere between 4-7K a month just on living expenses.
If you really want to study here, then find a room-mate, and ideally go to UBC
>>977044
I just want somewhere cozy ;-;
I looked on memejiji and there is a nice 3 bedroom shared by 3 people(including you) for $550
>One room in a 3-bedroom renovated suite is available DECEMBER 1st.
Convenient location - East 29th w/o Fraser - 15 min to Downtown on bus #8,
20 min to UBC on bus #25, walking distance to Main St. attractions.
New laminate floors, large living room with w/b fireplace.
Spacious kitchen with eating area, new tile floors, paint, dishwasher.
The room is fully furnished but you can bring your own furniture.
Washer and dryer is shared with upper floor suite.
>You will share the suite with 2 men.
>Rent is $550 INCL. ALL utilities, cable TV and wireless extreme speed internet.
That's not expensive at all... $550 plus tv, internet and utilities is great
>>977072
>Also, yeah UBC has a pretty strong leftie bias, but it seems almost all the prestigious universities in Canada do.
Kinda sucks dude, why is it always like that?
UofT is practically India and the feminists run a muck.
I think it was last year or a few years ago where feminists wouldn't let people into a lecture by a professor who supposedly said "misogynist things" and they were just yelling like harpies at people trying to hear what he had to say.
>>977077
My guess for Universities being far-left is just due to them being government institutions. And the Gender studies and African American studies professors probably have a lot more time to butter up the administration than more important departments.
Luckily I took law at UFT, and law professors won't put up with shit like that
>>977085
I always wonder though, do gender studies and african studies majors even ever get hired?
Outside of becoming a professor I can't really think of a single job for them, why isn't that major just removed because all graduates realize they will never be employed?
>>977085
Also is there any redpilled universities?
Where all the professors are skinheads who lynch niggers?
>>977090
For gender studies, I guess they could possibly get a job at a shelter for abused women or something of the sort, but it still seems like a pretty much worthless degree,
I'm guessing they don't want to remove it because they are afraid of the backlash from those students, as most of them barely have to do any work as a result of being in a fucking pointless course.
Universities can push around the Sciences,Legal, Financial and engineering students around all they want because they normally have to actually do work, so there is no fear of retaliation.
I doubt there really is any redpilled universities,however, I have known a few red-pilled professors IRL though, usually it's Econ, Science or law teachers that are most red-pilled in my experience
>>977106
sucks senpai.
I guess if you can't beat them you gotta join them. Or at least feign your agreement

Just got a decent paying job (60k CAD) with full benefits and pension. I'm 21 and still live at home paying no rental expenses other than my car insurance and phone bill.
However, the drive to work is an hour each way. Should I just suck it up and save my income until I could afford a condo or house? I feel like owning a house or condo would be expensive especially because of the maintenance fees. I also read somewhere that the cost of living ratio is too high for Canadians. Would it make more sense just to get an apartment?
>>977814
>Would it make more sense just to get an apartment?
Yes.
Houses are like $1million at the very least in Toronto, a bit less in other places in Ontario though. The amount of opportunity cost you would lose out on with your down-payment, interest on mortgage, property tax and maintenance costs would be incredibly unworth it.
Much better off buying meme funds and renting an apartment.

>Canada does have an underwhelming population so that decision isn't bad
We are overpopulated. 15% youth underemployment, middle of a recession. Plus it's not like they're putting them in the underpopulated provinces, they're going into the ones where we have enough people.
Also refugees will likely never contribute and will pretty much indefinitely remain on social services. If our own Canadians can't find jobs how are a bunch of people from a war-torn part of the world where they can't speak good, if any English going to get jobs?
>>977920
Oddly enough I am one of those refugees and myself and my family had no trouble quickly learning English and getting good jobs. I regularly volunteer for the community and work for a charity organization. Mom's a nurse. Taking immigrants is good

>>977820
This is exactly what I was thinking too. At what point/price would you see it worth buying a house/condo for?
>>979472
>At what point/price would you see it worth buying a house/condo for?
Definitely not anywhere near the current market prices.
I am a NEET faggot but I've done some reading on Canadian housing and all that and there is a pretty strong consensus that homes are overvalued at the highest, or close to the highest rate in the world. No other countries has homes as overvalued as Southern Ontario/Vancouver area.
>>973677
Get out of IS or get ready into it now. If you haven't done a coop or internship yet, consider either getting one ASAP or suicide.

Lol none of the bulge brackets or decent boutiques do OCR outside of top schools in US NE or Ivyleague/top10.
>>981092
To add; if anything all the OCR your gonna get will be in Baystreet. Firms aren't gonna go through the hastle of getting you an EB card just so you can do a 3 month summer internship or do a 1 year co-op term lol. Most Queens/Ivey/Rotman/Uninearbaystreet alumni work in RBC/TD/CIBC.

>>981106
ik im talking about the morons who insist it's bad in both threads and I BTTFO all of them by analytically comparing it to other schools.
They probably think that Queens/Ivey will get them into Wallstreet when the best you can hope for from a Canadian Uni is the Toronto office of the banks on Bay street.
They hire like 5 people for memaystreet from Canada and if you're shitposting on 4chan most likely you're not going to be the top of your school.

Holy fuck pham. Really? Where did you work at...
And I wish i could get into UW for compsci man. Do they accept transfer students? I didn't bother applying because i got some retakes and shit and I didn't do the euclid or anything so it looks utter shit. I would suck at least 5 admissions cocks if I could go there though.
>>981119
In SF. I lived at an online friend's (minecraft ayy lmao) house who's from there and his parents are established in tech. Most people I know rent a place in downtown core for like 2k for a shitty room split with 3 people so I got lucky.
My transfer was internal so it's probably easier, though still kinda hard (most others I know that tried the switch ended up just dropping out). It's near impossible to switch to CS here with co-op if you're already in second year or beyond.
>>981126
smdh.
Well my plan is to keep learning programming memes as a hobby and to keep studying Finance as a "day job". Seems pretty smart since I could earn dosh and potentially even get a job as a software developer in enough time, if i get bored with memeance.
I'm practicing my C++ pham but it's kinda hard
>>981115
This nigga knows whats up, Waterloo CompSci is great for US jobs. I did a four month co-op at IBM in Canada (basically as prestigious as you can get), and was getting $23 kekbucks/h. Had a drink with a new grad and he told me they started him off $30 kekbucks/h.
Did my next co-op at NVIDIA in CA, was getting 8k/month, green benjamins, not kekbucks. Feelsgoodman.jpg

I didn't do the Euclid. It honestly doesn't matter. You don't have to be a math genius to get into undergrad CS here, though it helps and there are definitely a good number of autists here that wreck everyone else in academia.
Where ever you are now though, it's probably fine. Get your portfolio up, make shitloads of stuff, contribute to open source projects, and make more stuff. Show your passion and people will notice.
>>981130
Ye, I honestly feel like IBM is the filter for all the SF jobs. Everyone I know that's in SF has been through IBM. What year/program are you?
>>981132
Not really man, if I had to do it again I'd do my co-op at LoyaltyOne or similar... pretty certain its more glamorous than grunt tooling work. I graduated last year.
>>981132
>Where ever you are now though, it's probably fine. Get your portfolio up, make shitloads of stuff, contribute to open source projects, and make more stuff. Show your passion and people will notice
I'm not studying CS though. Just doing it for fun and as a potential way of earning dosh in the future.
In theory it should be possible to earn both dosh from Finance job and programming some memay right? And I figure I could probably even switch careers later on if I got a nice portfolio of work done, opensource projects, paid work, etc.
>>981137
Any big corp would probably do. Now that I reread my post, it did sound like I exaggerated about IBM a bit.
