Laval University: Muslim Community and Job Market

laval university: Taxi drivers such as Karim, 53, who didn't want to use his last name, are thankful for the outpouring of warmth towards the Muslim community from people across the city since last weekend's shootings, according to CTV. But he and his colleagues at the airport taxi stand, many of whom hail from French-speaking North Africa, can't help but feel frustration at the society they feel hasn't fully accepted them, especially in the job market. Across the small, narrow trailer the television is broadcasting Thursday's funeral service in Montreal held for three of the six men murdered in a mosque across town. Karim, who came to Quebec from Morocco in 1991, completed a master's at Laval University in 1996 in management. I got two interviews. I sent hundreds of resumes, he said, about his job search after graduating. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
