Immigrants get short shift when it comes to employment

I picked up the 24hrs newspaper today and came across an interesting article about new comers working in Canada and not getting equal pay to their Canadian born counterparts. A large source of the problem is getting foreign credentials recognized properly. We have all heard of qualified foreign doctors driving taxis - well it does happen.
TradesInfo.ca can be part of the solution by giving foreign trained trades persons a opportunity to measure and showcase their abilities.
Recent immigrants earn only 63 cents for every dollar earned by those born here.
This recent revelation by Statistics Canada was not a surprise to immigrants themselves.
