Canadian Experience

Canadian experience: Al Sabery was faced with the classic immigrant dilemma. He needed Canadian experience to upgrade his qualifications, but no one would hire him without Canadian experience, according to The Star. Simply requiring Canadian experience is an excuse for not taking the time to evaluate international credentials and expertise and Al Sabery has an engineering degree from the University of Baghdad and wanted to become licensed in Ontario. However, to meet the requirements he had to work for a full year in Canada under the supervision of a licensed engineer. We come with very rich experience, says Al Sabery, who is president of the Canadian Network of Iraqi Engineers and Architects . (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
