#018| FOREIGN PROFESSIONALS CANNOT ENGINEERING IN CANADA
On the 18th episode of 18TH AVENUE PODCAST.COM, my guest this week is Aftab Ali Rahimoon from Pakistan.
Raced by a supportive grandfather (a scientist), a practical father (an engineer), and a loving mother (a school teacher). She taught young Aftab to read & write English in Grade one. Traditionally in Pakistan, children learn to read & write English in grade six. This head start will prove to be advantageous later on.
Aftab is an electrical engineer, following in his father’s footsteps. He came to Canada on a Provincial Nominee Program in 2016 to find employment in his field. However, finding jobs in Canada has proven to be challenging.
Today, Aftab is a model, actor, and vlogger. He documents his life in short vlog episodes and shares it with the world.
Here somethings we discuss in this episode:
The culture reference of Pakistan
Vlogging/filmmaking
The challenges foreign professionals face finding employment in the Western World.
The flip side is that Western workers in other countries cannot find employment in their chosen field but are usually heavily compensated.
I am curious if such double standardness will ever become a thing of the past.
