First of all, your article is very interesting, but I can’t agree with (you on) some comments. I (have) worked in Alberta (for) almost 10 years and I switched (over) my jobs (among different companies) 5 times in past ten years. As I know the Alberta industry needs much more professionals than (wherever) Canada can provide. Specially, in oil, petro-chemical industry, it is very difficult to find a (right) (eligible) people. Followings are my main points:# {' x3 N3 y+ [/ R1 M
3 j% c9 B3 z# G- r/ g(1) Canada has very (very) strict Safety, Health and Environment code(s) and control system(s) for industry. The standard procedures require the professional(s) or job finders posses(s) the basic concept of the system. Before I started my current job, I didn't understand (the reasons) why the local companies (are so so) concerned(s) local experiences (so much). Now I understand the reason. The training in industry is very expensive (in Canada), (from junor to senior position, the average training total cost is about 5,000$ - 30,000 $/year/person.) Any small or consulting companies can’t afford such cost, but they create 70% of the professional positions. 5 J, P- Q/ _" o9 e1 M8 k; e6 D9 z
' t2 }$ K9 s: P" x(2) How to get the (really) required job-related training in Canada ? The students in Canada's universities do understand these requirement(s) when they find the first job. So they generally plan it from 2nd year or 3rd year of the university. They can work as summer students, co-op students, or assisstant in companies or non-profot organizations. Not for money, just for geting really experiences. Once they gradute from the universities, they can almost start the job after quite short-term on-job training. This point is very very different in China. This is another reason why Canada's university give students 5 months vacation each year. This is very useful to students' future job-hunting.

$ o7 Z" M2 `2 `(3) How many professional Canada's industry? The answer is "Many". Yes, your comments mentioned that in Canada, a lot companies are US based, but it doesn't matter for position, they have to hire the people living Canada. For example, so far I have worked for a Japanese company, a German company and two US companies. I don't feel any different for my job. Please remember. the North American is a very open market. If US company can do better, why Canada has too build the same company too? The best way is to allow this best US company build a plant in Canada.

(4) The Canada's banking law requires local banks have to posses 60% share, this is why the biggest companies in Canada is Bank. In manufacturing, so such law, it is a free market.6 b7 }5 e: E; {/ s6 w3 K/ X/ u2 Z

(5) The Canada's universities can provide enough graduated students for industry? the asnswer is "NO". The structure of north American's companies is quite different from that in China. About 40-60% of employee are so-call "白领" or professionals in a English word. For my current companies, about 600 profssionals, but only 500 trades (i.e. workers). I don't think any manufacturing companies in China can afford this ratio number. Of course, the automation level is very high in Canada/US. In Alberta, how many new students can graduate from university? It just covers retired people !! For any new companies, to find the enough professional is really a bigest concerns. As I know, last year, at least two old plants shut down just because they don't have enouth support people.1 R8 L5 o. n8 B

(6) why the companies don't want to hire new comers? The main reason is they concern the safety, it is easier to make incidents for the people who cann't understand the code/law or less local experiences. Once some thing happen, the employer will need pay big big money to goverment and insurence firms. The people who make decision to hire you will have a big trouble too. 1 m/ k0 ^- q7 n' z, `/ y

(7) In job interview, only a few questions are about techniques/skills. But many many questions are about the management/safety/environment code/law/knowledge. You even cann't asnswer these questions in Chinese because you never meet such problems in China. So, the interviews will thing you don't understand what is the most important in a company, how you can complete your job. They don't want take any risk at all. (do you?).

(8) what happen after you stay longer? you need try to know as many as possible the people who work in industry, try to learn from them, try to understand and use "professional language" in your interview. You will get better and better, some day, you will get your first professional job. From your new jobm you will understand more and more, you can very very very easily to jump another job after 2-3 years. so, you can find a position as your life-long a\carrer.
