New Immigrants to Canada
Should new immigrants be allowed to work upon arrival in Canada? The present laws compels all new immigrants to go on what we call Social Services (another name for welfare) until they are granted status.
Yes, with no restrictions.
Only if they have papers certifying them in a particular field.
Yes, but for a specified time that would force them to quickly apply for status.
No. Canadians would lose job opportunities if new immigrants were allowed to work.
Yes - But only in a profession that would not cause work shortage for Canadian citizens.

    Quoting CaribeAzuLover:
    Every one in their own country have the first right for employment before the rest. Just think; if you, I refer to the immigrant that want to be granted the right to work in a foreign country, If you were in your own country, lets say Mexico, Cuba, etc and you find out that your own government is giving priorities to people from another countries, DO NOT tell me you will be okay with it. The fact is, I believe jobs shall not be denied to any one with a clean work record and the desire to help the society which has grant them the right and privilege to live in but that right most be granted to those who deserve it, not for the type of job or thier intellect, but for his/her human qualities.
CaribeAzul - You sound like a humanitarian at heart and this is good. But the way it works in Canada is one is forced to live on the pittance that is doled out for "welfare" until one is granted some kind of status...and I've known that to take years. Try supporting even just yourself on about $650 Cdn a month - when a bare 1 room alone will cost you $400/month, your bus transportation is $100/month...Now in the USA you are automatically given a Green card and put out to work; one should be allowed to do so in this country as well; where's the dignity in forcing a human being to sit and home and take a government handout? Most of the people I know - for any country - want to work to support themselves and their families.

 I don't see a reason for a country to support anybody , specially if that person is able to work and contribute to society .
I think we ( the US ) should sent all the welfare people to Canada , I'm sure they'll love it .
