The Editor,
Re: "Immigrants should prepare for career setbacks," Opinion, April 24.
This was refreshing to read an article that tells it like it is and doesn't beat around the bush on this matter of immigration.
My parents were both immigrants to Canada many years ago and had to make many adjustments (learn a new language, find a job, etc).
The expectation was that they (as immigrants) would make adjustments to fit into their new country. It certainly was not easy, but they worked hard to make a new life in this country.
There are still immigrants that come to Canada with that mindset, but there seem to be many now who are coming to Canada with a strong sense of entitlement. They seem to feel that Canada and Canadians are obligated to accommodate them in every way. It seems to me that in some ways "the tail is wagging the dog" instead of the other way around.
