It is not that we need training, we need positions, I have six years working
experience in Hitachi and Motorola,
no position for me in Canada, If I had known Canada was like this, I would
not emigrate here last year.

The reason of no job opportunities is that the government have need tax than
other country, so there aren't much investment in this country. And the tax
is wasted this way.
