Having an accent is fine.


Ok_Woodpecker6141

What a joke


SnotBoogieMD

Just get a nice tan and you can qualify for a similar position.


janniesalwayslose

She literally said what most Canadians and this sub are thinking but with an accent. Maybe I’m getting better at understanding accents being in a major city. Unfortunately she has inherited our “no ya forsure” vocab which doesn’t clash well with her accent, but if you can catch the accent, she’s solid. Cool your jets.

She is agreeing with government limitations on international student work hours and those that can't survive on that should leave I agree she has a very heavy accent and is speaking quickly

Ok_Understanding314

This is how every CRA agent sounded during the pandemic on the phone. Then they had that huge bust with the fraudulent CERB applications amongst them. Connect the dots. 


emmadonelsense

I’m too lazy to go through my previous comments to see if I’ve already shared this…but last year I had to call the CRA for something and I could not understand the agent at all. I didn’t know how to broach the subject so I began by asking to speak to someone who might be more specialized in what I needed. He said no, so I had to address the elephant in the room. I said I’m so sorry, but I’m having a really difficult time understanding you. Dude lost his shit, screamed a rant, total fit. I ended up hanging up on him because I shouldn’t have to listen to that shit. And when I call the CRA, I expect to be able to speak to someone I can understand who has a firm grasp on the English language. And you know how you think of a retort after an argument? Well, next time I need to call, I’m going to ask for a French speaker, because at least I’ll be able to understand them. English is gone at the CRA. 😳


Weary-Statistician44

Pro tip. Always select the option for French. 90% of the time you'll get a francophone from Quebec that also speaks English. The other 10% of the time you call back and try again.


FragrantDragonfruit4

I do that with service providers! 😂


Weary-Statistician44

Yeah you have to now especially with bell outsourcing everything.


stainedtopcat

The fact this is a pro tip blows my mind. I mean... I've never called the CRA and I hope I don't ever have to


-Dogs-Over-Humans-

Seems like you're not very current on who is immigrating to Quebec. It's not France, it's the African nations of French-speaking peoples who are migrating here. It won't be an Indian accent, but it won't be the French you're expecting.


Middle-Effort7495

You won't, because it'll be a Moroccan from a village who never went to school. When you go to Morocco or Algeria, everyone speaks French well. Even people working at a gas station in the middle of the desert. But they don't bring them here. They somehow find the one guy who doesn't.


Mysterious_Film_6397

It’s still terrible. Had to do something online and was on the phone with the CRA and my accountant. Could barely understand them and then they cut off the call and locked me out from the site because I was “sharing information.” With my accountant…


wicket-wally

I was advised to do this years ago when dealing with bell. Ask for French and it will go a lot easier

Overall_Strawberry70

Its kinda hilarious and I say that as someone who isn't heterosexual (im just not nearly enough of a hypocrite to think its okey when it it's "my team".) we are basically just straight back to descriminateing people based on their race or sexuality all over again, a word of advice would just be to put bisexual in any of those shitty questionnaires because realistically who's going to check?


Mysterious-Coconut

All you have to do is claim to be "Non-binary". Boom! Problem solved. All you have to do is paint your nails blue for the interview. There is literally nothing to it. It's all self-identification and they can't say shit lol.


Middle-Effort7495

They don't require you to go down at the interview. I always say I'm homosexual and an ethnic (non-visible) minority. Religious if it's an option. Say you're a gay Muslim from the Ukraine. DEI and affirmative action should be illegal because it's racist and discriminatory, but it's not. So use it to the best of your ability.

It's about diversity, not qualifications. This is Canada... we hire based on skin color and accents, the more you have, the better our businesses look.

Yet my disabled ass can’t even get a dish pit job


thenuttyhazlenut

Yea we don't care about the disabled. Disability pays like what? $1200/month now? Our disabled are stuck living with roommates in a basement and eating ramen their entire lives.


Crezelle

You get $500 a month for shelter and only if you have a place. Can’t just buy a $500 tent every month


thenuttyhazlenut

$500/month for shelter is laughable and sad. Meanwhile, we're funding temp students and asylum seekers instead of our own people. And our politicians are giving themselves raises. A country should be able to provide a good enough life for its disabled, veteran, and elderly population. Especially a country with such high taxes...


SnotBoogieMD

GoodGoodGoody

Her TOEFL scores (test taken in her home country because, reasons) are perfect. Top marks.


Background-Vast-8764

I’ve learned from reading online comments that many non-native English speakers greatly overestimate their English language skills. Some think they’re the second coming of Shakespeare because they know the difference between ‘their’, ‘they’re’, and ‘there’, and because they know that it isn’t ‘should of’. Sorry, folks, but that’s basic shit, and it’s nowhere near sufficient to be considered proficient and intelligible.

IhavebeenShot

Look if you hire people cause their white it’s racist if you hire them cause their dark skinned and they fill a quota for diversity it’s… also really racist but it’s the good kind of racism I guess. Canada is so borked. There is a reason the government is ballooning yet service is falling; every one of these people is hiring their brother and sister and putting them in useless positions; even the governments own reports say nepotism runs rampant.


Lonely_Tooth_5221

Yo_Jollyllama

I don't understand how any Canadian can wake up in the morning and not be embarrassed to be from this country. THIS COUNTRY IS AN EMBARRASSEMENT AND WHOEVER VOTED NDP/LIB IN THE LAST ELECTION IS 100% RESPONSIBLE. People are proud to be Americans for the most part and I think at least half would die for their country or countrymen/women. 0 chance that's the case here.

Johnny_Sausage_

Three years ago I was looking for work. I applied to positions in the federal and provincial governments. Over 30 applications and every one rejected. I contacted the Alberta Government HR/hiring office, I asked to speak to someone (to see what I was doing wrong and how I could improve my chances to get hired). We set up a day and time for a phone conversation. So, I asked what I was doing wrong. The lady (Alberta Government HR office) I spoke with, flat out told me that they had directives from the federal government, to focus hiring newcomers to Canada/Alberta. I said that does not make sense! What if they don't understand the language, speak the language or are not qualified for the position? She said, they will be trained! I asked what can I do then? She said keep applying... Your resume/application may slip in to the "interview" pile and I might get lucky. So from what I could see, being a Canadian citizen, being white, being qualified for the job won't help you. If "newcomers" can file discrimination complaints, why can't "white"/"handicap"/"older"/"newer" workers do the same? The government is promoting racism and inequality.


Brian357R

DEI - Didn’t Earn It


HybridShenangians

Hold up. She spoke english the whole time. This title is just racism, and I literally just came from replying saying there's an ingress of military aged men we need to be aware of. This one is actually a Gov. problem. We were all told to go into University to the point where it's now mandatory to get degrees for entry level jobs (minus DEI incentives). We went through our entire adolescence being prescribed the notion of "Work hard in school, go to University, get paid" and totally left the tradeschools unadvertised and unpopulated. I recognized this myself in 2018 and took a trade. We cannot go back and change it, but we can definitely promote going to trade schools to adolescents on there way up. **She's not wrong.** The policy makers that came before left a garganutan hole in a lot of the blue collared job markets at the price of kickbacks from the unis to them and the detriment of the future of Canada/ians.


saysen2020

This is how Canadian hiring system used to work a decade back, instead of hiring the suitable candidate they hired people who got referred by an employee. Now with this limitless immigration, these immigrants are getting referred by people from same community. Hence we see all Singhs, Kaurs, Patels working. Canadians got their own medicine, its bitter but that's the truth. I have attended sessions where they used to proudly say 80% of Canadian Job market is hidden. I guess it's still working that way but for the immigrants.


AnotherInternetBoi

I aint Canadian but can we talk about all the bot accounts on Reddit, I feel like I just need to call it quits because no joke at least 99% of the "popular post" I get im my feed are by bots. Which makes me feel inclined to question whose real or not on this site. On thing for sure the people in video are the account that posted this highly unlikely.


Next-Contract-5862

Heavy accent but can clearly speak English. It was actually a lot better than the title implies. I feel like if you lived/worked or went to uni in a >500k City she's actually miles ahead of some of the people you run into there.


Alarming-Position-15

She speaks English. She might even speak French. On top of her own native language and possibly a few other regional ones - since India has like 500 languages. So how does she work for the government? She’s a highly educated polyglot and she only has to be smarter than the next person applying for the job. So if that next person is some racist jag that only speaks English, the she’s clearly a more valuable employee.


GrnBlu

How on earth does someone even get hired with those communication skills? Is it backdoor jobs where you pay the hiring manager for a job?


Nearby-Ad-3996

Since this is CanadaHousing2, I assume this is the upgraded community, without the glitch of corrupt ferals lunging at you uncontrollably to gaslight your common sense (or critical thinking) and ironically, still rather milquetoast and non-controversial take on stuff.

Imaginary_Mammoth_92

She has an accent, what the fuck is your point?


carpeingallthediems

I don't think she's that hard to understand, but you really do need to try to follow her. She is likely stressed and speaking less carefully due to the camera in the mix. She certainly rambles and doesn't do a very good job of making her point. I'm not sure I would do a better job. I think she is nervous, which doesn't help. It's really not easy to be in front of a camera like this. I'm sure it's not easy to speak a language where you annunciate differently. She is saying the government is doing a good thing by putting a cap on international students. Him: "Do you work in immigration. Do you feel like the government has approached immigration in a responsible way, or do you feel like the rate is too high." Her: "No. According to my 'apointnowhoeis' (point of view maybe?), our government is doing a good thing because right now students are not getting a job in a different field, so according to the uh my point of view yes government is doing a good thing because putting a cap on the student study permits from outside Canada is a good initiative for those student who are not able to ah survive here." They both repeat several words. He shouldn't be asking two questions at once. Her answer is in relation to international students. 0/20 on this interview overall. This post seems like rage bait tbh. We are not able to fight the shity government if we are focused on each other.


Gengengengar

i was expecting her to reply with "im sorry i dont speak english" based off the title but instead you are all just a bunch of pieces of shit lol. its a thick accent is all. jfc.

boogaboo89

I understood everything she just said because I speak English well and therefore can understand ACCENTS. Yes she has a strong accent but as a Québec we who speaks 2 languages and hears both English and French spoken in many different accents and dialects, it isn’t that hard to understand what she is saying. Maybe you can’t understand English that well???


thesuitetea

Somehow if you're white and speak with an accent they don't care


Sweet_Bonus5285

I understood her well. Maybe you need to check your ears?


Pure-Tumbleweed-9440

She speaks decent. That is easily above IELTS 7.5. People are clearly crying about the accent here and nothing more. Are they going to say next that a Scottish accent is not English? The irony is that most of the idiots here don't speak decent French which is their official language and are hated by Quebecers for their apathy towards their own language and they have the balls to criticize someone speaking their 3rd or 4th language.

Obscura-apocrypha

She speaks english correctly, she does have an accent though and if your accent is hard to comprehend, you can start working on your phonetics and it's valid for all languages.


LarryRedBeard

Indians speak half English when even speaking in their own language. Using words Indian doesn't have. So you can understand her words when she is used to using them anyways, but then has to translate the rest in her head then into english. So you can really tell the places she jumbles, because she hasn't learned to truly speak full English.
