剛剛在準備HRM的報告的時候, 看到的幾個數據....

BC省人口: 4,573,300 (July 2011);
勞動力人口:2,466,000 (Sep 2011);
受僱人口: 2,299,700;
失業人口:166,300 (真懷疑有這麼少嗎??)
另根據2010小型企業的研究:
BC省工作機會2,259,382,
其中公家機關工作占19%有429,282,
自僱:439,223,
小型企業<50人: 603,933,
大型私人企業: 786,943就業機會....
所以.....本人結論是: 本地人本來就已經很難找工作了, 哪會喜歡移民來跟他們搶啊!!
我必須說: 政府移民局官員和企業老闆和老百姓想的當然不一樣....

最近在寫的HRM報告中, 想要探討加拿大移民就業市場的現況, 包含移民的教育水準, 就業率和失業率以及所得水準, 另外就是有哪些企業已經有一些良好的招募和任用移民的機制, 再接下就是探討究竟企業主所猶豫不任用新移民的原因有哪些....因為這是一個分組作業, 其實我僅負責第一部分, 但是在蒐集資料的過程中, 看到一份已經寫得很完整的"移民求職障礙"各種原因, 先貼出來跟大家分享一下.

http://www.vircs.bc.ca/barriers.php
Statistics Canada says that new immigrants continue to have more difficulty in finding a job than Canadian-born residents.
Accreditation of Skills: 國外教育學位和訓練證照的認可
It is difficult and expensive for clients with professional backgrounds to have their education and experience evaluated and recognized. Majority of the program’s skilled trade workers and professionals face special challenges in their search for meaningful employment in their former field. For example, many of them encounter the dilemma of requiring licensing before being considered for employment in their profession, but they are unable to apply for any form of license until they obtain experience within Canada. It is especially true for refugees who were forced to leave their homelands without documentation, and therefore their educational accomplishments are not verifiable.

Job applicants with foreign names have lesser chance for interviews: UBC study
VANCOUVER — If your name is Alison Johnson or Matthew Wilson, an inventive national study suggests you could do better in the job market than if you go by Min Liu, Samir Sharma or Lukas Minsopoulos.
A comprehensive survey of employers in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto has discovered that job applicants with English-sounding names have a much better chance of receiving a callback than if they have Chinese, Indian or Greek names.
Released Friday, the report, titled "Why do some employers prefer to interview Matthew, but not Samir?" is based on employers' response rate to thousands of online job applications.
The study, supported by Metropolis B.C., a federally funded diversity-research agency, was conducted to find out why recent immigrants are struggling much more in the Canadian job market than immigrants in the 1970s did.

我想從溫哥華人力資源從業人員的角度來寫這個題目, 而不光光只是從找工作的技術移民角度來看這件事情. 其實新移民舉家搬遷來到溫哥華/加拿大, 需要含辛茹苦忍辱負重才能找得到一份工作, 甚至得彎下腰低下頭才能"保住"一份工作. 這些有工作的移民, 在大家的眼光裡是幸運的是特別的, 因為還有更多的人汲汲營營仍然很難找到一份餬口的工作....所以, 我就想試一試寫這個題目.
大綱架構大概會是這樣的:

返鄉旅行初印象(2)
分享落腳：
台灣趣與記憶
到台灣的第二天, 汐止的小叔就載著小嬸來桃園接我們回南部啦...也是揪感心的說, 因為小叔其實剛換新工作, 為了我們排了三天連休...(結果後來回去上班就很難再休假, 每天都粉累的說..); 本來想說搭高鐵就好, 可是小叔小嬸這麼熱情, 我們也就樂得搭順風車南下囉!
搭車走高速公路有一個好處, 就是可以到休息站買名產, 也可以隨時下高速公路就近去吃各鄉鎮的特產小吃. 所以, 必吃的就是清水的"阿財米糕", 這一頓算是返台第一頓台灣小吃, 所以, 雖然像置身在烤箱的氣溫下揮汗如雨的吃著米糕和四神湯, 但是真的很滿足很滿足....只是開始用起很多的免洗碗和竹筷, 心裡開始龜毛起來, 就覺得要趕快自備環保鐵筷, 這樣才能安心的北南吃透透..呵呵. 路過休息站當然開始搜刮起各地名產, 我覺得有休息站真方便, 不用到宜蘭/台中/三義就可以買到當地的名產比如說牛舌餅或是太陽餅或是黑糖棒棒糖......

話說剛過去的這個冬天, 本來應該是和大衛先生高高興興帶著兩兄弟回台灣過聖誕和新年假期的快樂時光, 誰知道我們更換的楓葉卡就是那樣一直遲遲沒有發下來.....所以, 眼睜睜的看著寒假過去, 心情悶悶的等著不知道是甚麼的等待; 然後楓葉卡在延宕八九個月之後終於拿在手上的時候, 又發愁著夏天回台灣會不會太熱, 當大衛先生很爽快的幫我們付了夏天回台灣機票的卡費之後, 心裡已經開始籌畫回台灣的旅行景點, 落落長的一串, 朋友都說這可能得好幾個月才造訪的完....
就在我癡癡的做著返鄉旅行白日夢的時候, 就在心情焦慮興奮著只剩兩個星期就要飛回台灣的時候,

Immigration Drives BC’s Labour Force Growth
PeopleTalk | August 3, 2011 | no comments
By Jock Finlayson
Canada has a well-deserved reputation as an “immigrant-friendly” country. Each year, new immigrants amount to almost one per cent of the population, putting Canada near the top among advanced economies in the ratio of newcomers to population. In 2009, Canada welcomed 250,000 permanent immigrants and refugees. Last year, the figure rose to 280,000, despite a weak economy.
Since 2002, Canadian immigration policy has been based on the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IPRA). The Act delineates three categories of permanent immigration:
The family class is composed of foreign nationals sponsored by close relatives already in Canada.
Economic immigrants are selected for their skills and/or ability to contribute to the economy. Included in this category are skilled workers, business and investor immigrants, and provincial “nominees” who arrive via the provisions of provincial government programs geared to fast-tracking immigration for specific workers. In 2009, 12,000 immigrants (plus a larger number of accompanying spouses/dependents) came to Canada through provincial nominee programs (including one run by the BC government), which have become an important component of the overall immigration system.

Newcomers Face Under-Employment Challenges: Poll
轉載一下溫哥華人力資源雜誌的一篇文章
Newcomers Face Under-Employment Challenges: Poll HRVoice.org | July 29, 2011 | no comments
Almost half (49 per cent) of newcomers who have been in Canada for one year or less feel under-employed, according to a recent poll by RBC. Even after six-to-ten years in Canada, a third (32 per cent) of newcomers continue to feel that their current job is at a lower skill level than they had, or would have had, in their country of origin. 根據RBC銀行做的一份調查, 在來加拿大一年以內的新移民中, 接近一半的移民覺得自己處在低就業的狀態; 就算是已經住了6-10年的人, 也有32%覺得目前的工作技術層次低, 或是說比待在原來國家的發展不好...
According to the poll, a majority of newcomers (52 per cent), measure success based on their career, which includes having a good paying job in their field of expertise. Additionally, men (43 per cent) are much more likely than women (28 per cent) to believe that their current job is a step down from what they had, or would have had, in their home country. 根據這份調查, 52%的新移民還是以有沒有待在原來專業領域並擁有一份薪酬好的工作來定義"成功"....
“Once newcomers get past some of the career challenges they face when they move to Canada, they make a tremendous contribution to the country’s productivity and diversity,” said Camon Mak, director, multicultural markets, RBC. “Canada is built on immigration – new skills and resources continue to be key drivers of our country’s global success. It’s important that we help newcomers get settled quickly both into their new home and their new careers. ” 然而一旦新移民突破搬來加拿到後遇到的種種求職挑戰或障礙, 他們對加拿大在生產力和多元多樣豐富度上創造出極大的貢獻.

Whistler露營記

七月的第三個周末, 和朋友又呼朋引伴露營去. 因為要上班, 所以星期五下班才出發
Barnett Marine Park 抓螃蟹
分享落腳：
到處逍遙遊
溫哥華的夏天啊, 只要是陽光普照的日子, 就會讓人想往外跑....這個連續假日, 因為沒有預訂露營營地, 所以, 就近在大溫地區趴趴走....恩, 今天的行程是抓螃蟹....車程只要20-30分鐘, 約了三戶人家, 各自準備一些吃食, 就這樣出發抓螃蟹去囉! 不過, 事前要先去WalMart或是網路上買釣魚證, 一個人一張, 一張可以帶四隻公的而且腰圍夠大的回家. 對, 母的或是太小隻的都得放回去....公園旁都有告示牌會說明, 所以, 要記得釣魚證和量尺...
