[QUOTE="klein, post: 829804, member: 23950"] Islandfox, you think your family is the only one that immigrated to North America ? They all went into hardship, my mother and father included. But, I have to agree with you on 1 thing. When I moved back from Germany, being educated and as a skilled worker at the German government expenses, I had work here already waiting for me. (Because, I applied while I was on vacation here earlier that year). Anyways, a few employees at the dairy were actually landed immigrants from Polen and the Phillipines. When I heard they got a $20.000 interest free loan, with very minimal payments from the Canadian government just to get started, I wasn't very pleased about it. But, even more outrageous, that they didn't have to pay any income taxes whatsoever for 2 full years, as a government grant, too. . Well, needless to say, those 2 foreign workers bought homes, while I was still struggling to get a whole entire household started, after comming over with only 2 suitcases. And, that just didn't seem right to me.I'm Canadian born, and came finally home, and got the shaft, compared to these new immigrants. I would have been much better off, to hide my birth certificate, and just come as a German immigrant. Stupid me, didn't do that though ! And I know, I would have been hired as a foreigner, too, because the Plant Manager at the time, thought it would take atleast 3 months to get my papers in order and be able to work in Canada. I told him otherwise, that I have cdn citizenship. Like I said, should have kept it all secret ! ??? [/QUOTE]
