Immigrate to Canada in time to learn language and skills.
What should I learn after immigrating to Canada? Almost all people can give clear answers and learn languages and skills. Indeed, language and skills can help us find a relatively satisfactory position and maintain a basic standard of living. However, this is only one of the most basic goals of immigration. What do you have to learn after that to adapt to Canada and then integrate into Canada? Learning languages and skills Mastering languages and skills is by no means the end of immigrants' study life, but just a good beginning and the beginning of a process. Language and skills are not the most important in our study process of adapting to Canada and integrating into Canada. Even if you master the language and skills well and maintain a certain standard of living well, it doesn't mean that your immigrant life will be successful. In our immigrant life, there are many things far more important than language and professional skills that we must pay attention to. Learn manners

Many new immigrants, in particular, are well educated. If you don't know manners, you still have to learn. Don't be unconvinced, what is politeness in Canadian culture? Judging from the various manifestations of our immigrants, some people really just don't understand. A friend's niece is an intern in the Federal Ministry of Health. When her local colleagues talk about China people, they all appreciate the diligence, hard work and frugality of China people, but they don't know some habits of China people. For example, they don't know how to give priority to women and the elderly when going in and out, and how to open the door for people who carry heavy objects and people who are inconvenient to walk. For another example, you don't know how to be modest when driving. In their view, these are all manifestations of lack of manners. Friends' nieces always patiently explain to them that most China people who come to Canada are highly educated and well-bred. They are not rude, but they don't understand some polite behaviors in Canada, or they may not change some of their original habits. Interpretation boils down to explanation. Since I choose to live here, the customs and habits of Canada are really worth learning. They seem insignificant, but they are related to a person's image, even to the image of our entire immigrant group. On the other hand, politeness and self-cultivation are virtues that all human beings admire, which we cannot ignore and must abide by.

Politeness and self-cultivation can also greatly promote a person's progress and career. A colleague who used to work in the company is engaged in hydropower generation in China. The position in the company is an equipment maintenance technician with an annual salary of about 40 thousand, which is very satisfactory for people who have just immigrated to Canada. But not long after, he resolutely decided to resign. His goal is to be a professional engineer and concentrate on breaking through the language and preparing materials. After about a year and a half, I finally got my wish and got a job as a professional engineer in a power plant in the United States. Talking about this experience, he said that it can only be expressed by the word "lucky". On the day of his interview in America, a very interesting episode happened. On the way from the parking lot to the office building, he found a chubby middle-aged lady with dark skin next to him. When approaching the entrance of the building, the hydropower king took a few steps, opened the door and waited for the lady to go first. The lady thanked him and looked at him again. During the interview, he was surprised to find that this dark-skinned lady turned out to be the examiner of this interview. She is the technical director of the company. Although I could only understand about 70% of the questions in the interview, I got the position as I wished. From his experience, we can see the influence and function of a small polite behavior on a person's success.

Learn to obey the rules.

China society has been in the primary stage of market economy for nearly 30 years since its opening to the outside world, and it has also been in the period of great expansion of desire, great confusion and great integration of resources inherent in this stage, so morality has declined and rules have been fragmented. However, if you immigrate to Canada, it is obviously incompatible with the actual Canadian social norms to bring this concept and behavior into the immigrant life. Because Canadian society has formed a perfect market system and a well-recognized professional ethics system. If you are suspected of professional ethics, I'm afraid your life in Canada will not be easy.

To solve this problem, I interviewed a boss in China. Mr. Wang is a bean product manufacturer. Because he took the lead, the bean products he produced were very suitable for China people, so he quickly entered the major Chinese supermarkets in Toronto. In less than two years, Mr. Wang paid more than 500 thousand in one lump sum and bought two new cars. This income level has certainly aroused the envy of some people. Among them, a migrant worker who worked in his own enterprise at the beginning of the factory secretly learned the technology and technology of bean products production, and went out to open his own shop in another area of Toronto three years later, which has formed a competitive situation with his former employer, Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang said angrily and helplessly, "It's all because we northerners are too practical to guard against him from the beginning." Mr. Wang is a kind man and doesn't want to go through legal procedures. In fact, Canadian society hates this kind of behavior very much. In the eyes of some legal persons, such a lawsuit is bound to win, and those who use the technology and information of their former employers for their own benefit are tantamount to theft, which is absolutely unacceptable to Canada's legal system and moral system.

Learn to be honest.

I'm afraid the credit system of Canadian society is the deepest feeling in our immigrant life. Whoever violates his credit will undoubtedly put himself on the opposite side of the whole Canadian society. In this state, it is still difficult to survive, so how can we talk about success? A few years ago, some small international students swiped their credit cards before returning to China, spending thousands or even tens of thousands, which led to the credit crisis of this group, so that some businesses refused the credit cards held by people with oriental faces. Little international students are gone forever, regardless of their backgrounds. If we immigrants do the same, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble. I often hear that someone has credit problems and can only go to the most bitter and tired place to be a cashier, which has almost no future.

Our immigrant group often unconsciously ignores honesty. I only think that paper promises are effective, but I don't know that even verbal promises are an important part of Canada's social credit system. It seems that the Chinese community is used to making promises but not keeping them. If it's a western community, you can't cope. Although there are language barriers and skills that are not recognized, it is difficult for Chinese to be accepted by other ethnic groups and to display their skills in Canadian society. I'm afraid we need to reflect on ourselves. Is there a problem with our integrity?
