回复: [评论]移民部长:移民即已经选择丢下父母
有人说优待英国人不优待中国人,这是非常片面的论断。我在卡城结交到一个朋友,她的老公是英国人。一说起移民这件事,她就非常生气,大叹加拿大政府歧视英国人。这个中国mm很早就申请移民了,她老公邂逅她的时候,追她被拒绝了,因为她已经拿到加拿大移民身份,准备长登。于是她来了加拿大,她老公为了追她,把英国的事业都放弃了,一直追到卡尔加里找到她。她住basement,他也跟着住,终于把她给打动了两个人结了婚。因为没几个英国人申请移民,所以他也不用排n年队,很快拿到移民身份了,但是也暂时找不到工作,因为加拿大不承认他的学历,堂堂大律师沦落成一个labour了,为此把她那个身在英国的婆婆气的跟儿子划清界限不再往来。
比较的话,需要compare apple with apple.
如果这位律师是个中国律师
1 他得申请签证才能来加拿大;
2 排队申请申请移民就得好几年,来了以后估计女朋友的小孩都会打酱油了。
3 据我所知,加拿大承认英国的法律学历,不过要拿律师资格,需要另外考试,如果和对加拿大律师比,应该算歧视,但和中国律师比,被歧视的其实是中国律师。
当英国人说被歧视的时候,其实人家说的是和加拿大人比,人家被歧视了,当我们说被歧视的时候,很多时候其实我们比的是来自其他国家的移民,这个太不一样了。
其实在加拿大的英国律师不少,很多人都重新取得了律师资格,并没要求在这里重新上学。 下面是一封在加拿大的英国律师给将要来加拿大的英国律师的回信,大体上可以反映这种情况。

Don't be too put off by this although I have to admit it gave me a heart attack when I first read it.
I know many UK Solicitors that have re-qualified in Canada - One of them has also been offered Articles with a Government Department (Criminal) in Calgary.
From speaking to them it would appear that firms don't really "recruit" until you are in country. They want to make sure you are committed before giving Articles to you. It's alot easier to sit over here and say "I will only come over if you offer me "X" position and agree to pay me "Y" salary because I'm earning "XY" over here and must be good, than it is to get yourself over there (in a permanent capacity) and actually show them that you are committed.
I'm not totally dismissing everything that "Discouraged" has said but you must accept you are very unlikely to walk straight into a position that is comparable to the one you may have over here. A certain amount of "taking a backward step before going forward again" has to be expected.
Good news is that, without exception, they have all stated that, with the appropriate application, the exams over there are not as difficult as the ones over here !!
I am 16 months from my AOR and am waiting for my medical requests before submitting my application to NCA.
Don't be put off by the experience of others (but of course take it into account) and stay positive.
If you check out the NCA site you will see how many ex-UK solicitors successfully requalified last year - if it was that difficult, they wouldn't have been able to do it.
Feel free to PM me if I can assist further
