"Canadian work experience" is a generic reason often given to people who the company doesn't want to hire. It has happened to people I know. There can be many reasons: - Racial bias - Sexual bias - Age bias - Candidate's English / French ability. - Candidate's actual experience isn't relevant enough. - Candidate's personality. - Candidate's appearance. - Candidate's communication skills. Why would I give you the real reason when I can provide a generic reason and stay out of trouble? Some people I know went to college to get local credentials. Luckily community college is affordable and respected. Others changed fields. Others started their first business. A few left the country.
