Introduction
Born in Windhoek, Namibia, worked in JHB, Bloem, DBN & CT before being head hunted to go to Australia. Went back to SA for family reasons but didn't want to stay and ended up in Canada. Primary industry experience is Pharmaceuticals with B.Comm & PMP as educational basis, but then around here your education and experience accounts for - 0. Also stayed in London and Bangkok for a while. Traveled most of the East and enjoyed it tremendously. Synopsis of my experiences, other immigrants and 90+ articles: Stay away from Australia and Canada. I found Aussies extremely racist, stupid and lazy. The only difference between Aussies and Canadians is that Aussies will tell you in your face that you are not welcome where Canadians will be polite and friendly in front of you but do the same behind your back. Canada might be a country of immigrants but not a country for immigrants.
I joined expat.com on 30 March 2012.

Expat experience
Spent looking for a job 24/7.
Safe, clean, you feel at ease in very way.
Finding a job in Canada is impossible. Qualifications and experience cont for 0. Racism and discrimination with a smile. What a bunch of garbage. Networking is very difficult and they wont engage with you. Read this: http://reviewcanada.ca/essays/2011/02/01/taxi-driver-syndrome/
Pharmaceuticals
Modern, clean, upmarket, stunning city and country and loved the immigrants.
Eish: Aussies, they are back biting, back stabbing, lazy, not the sharpest tools in the shed, and love to discriminate. It was some of the best and worst times
Pharmaceuticals
Big city, Fast paced, people used to be very friendly. A Really beautiful country that everything going for it.
Crime, high risk, uncertainty, no value for human life, a complete deterioration of the country and moral decay. Some of my friends are still there and they would leave tomorrow if they could.
Birthplace, School & Military service
Stunning country, wide open spaces, beautiful coastline, a country of contrast
Went the same way as SA. Minorities from European decent not welcome
