Kahit 20 years ago pa, mahirap narin daw talaga magumpisa sa Canada | Pinoy in Canada | LMIA

Neil Onoya is a licensed civil, sanitary, and geodetic engineer in the Philippines.
But in Canada, he knew he had to start from bottom. He studied, and worked his way up until he started his own construction company in Vancouver.
Now, he is even looking to sponsor Filipino engineers and surveyors who might want to move to Canada.

I admire Neil. There is an important lesson here. He had the educational background and experience in the philippines. His style is perfect for canada. Low profile but very capable in his line of work. He allowed the canadians to notice his capabilities and then upon seeing his skill set in the field, the canadians ,at that point knew they had a good man. In the past, I myself went through all the struggles of filipino immigrants in canada. It was just as bad if not worse in the 70s. Just like Neil, i was low key . Thats why i believe it is the correct strategy. Remenber, your ultimate target is to get your foot in the door, and when you get in, then you Can show them your skills. The panel interview members who hired me , ended up working under me after a few years. Mabuhay ang filipino.

[@inanutshellvlog]

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

[@mitch6912]

We migrated 20 years ago. My husband and my 5 yr old son. We landed here in Toronto. Canada has been good to us. We both got our masters degree and my son is now an Engineer. Our passion for education has opened so many opportunities for us.. Keep Learning. Goodluck to everyone trying to build their livea wherever u may be.

[@inanutshellvlog]

So nice to hear! Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻

[@kabayanmontreal6993]

Kanya kanya talaga ng swerte, tiis, sipag at tiyaga at lahat ay nag uumpisa sa mababa. At ang maganda pa ngayon lahat at bar coded na ang aplication. Sa amin noon sulat kamay pa, caregiver ang pasok ko at tumagal ng 7yrs bago ako nagka PR at saka nakuha ang asawa. At saka ngaun, dami ng paraan para makarating dito.

[@tadeofamilyph2ca]

Very true po lahat sinabi ni Kuya. We arrived here last Sept 2023 and it took 3 mos before my husband landed a job. I was lucky enough to be hired within 2 weeks after arrival. And so true na napaisip na umuwi nalang dahil sa stress. Ang dami pong pinagdaanan at pagdadaanan pa.

[@hawking4500]

I love your channel and I can relate to it. Yes, how I wish I can share my experience too, to new comers. It's one way of giving back. Tumpak na tumpak yung sinasabi ni Mr. Neil. Napagdaanan ko din yung sinasabi niya....I came here in Canada 2002 with a water engineering background and I was blessed that I was able to penetrate as City of Toronto employee- one of the 2 Pinoys who works in Toronto Water as Drinking Water Operator.

[@bmacavanza193]

Awesome Ina, and Neil…….Finally, meron ka din na interview na real professional engineer with the proper mindset, attitude, and character. Si Engineer Neil Onoya of UST ang dapat idol ng lahat. I am successful UST Mechanical Engineer myself.

[@inanutshellvlog]

Yes, he will have more episodes on this channel! Thank you too!

[@eliahjin123]

Proud of you Kuya Neil! ❤❤❤ I'm his cousin..

[@inanutshellvlog]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Sakalam888]

Totoo naman same struggle maski noon pa. Pero depende pa din sa province yan. 10-20years ago magkaiba ang sitwasyon ng BC,ON sa tulad ng AB,SK. Mga naunang lugar kasi yan na dumami ang tao. Totoo yung sabi ng nauna nyo na interview na taga SK, 10yrs ago sa tulad ng fastfood, usually on the spot hired ka na.

[@alf5155]

This is the kind of immigrant Canada needs. Good attitude and highly skilled. Philippines’ loss is Canada’s gain.

[@Scud_604]

Aww, thanks for you kind words. I truly believe most Filipino newcomers here will succeed, we are resilient and hard working people.

[@inanutshellvlog]

Yes!

[@tadeofamilyph2ca]

Hello po Miss Ina. Been watching you po kahit ns Pinas plang. Landed PR in MB po kaming pamilya thru EE. We are learning a lot from you. So true na mahirap po mag umpisa sa wala at sa bagong bansa. Me and my husband were both public sch teachers s Pinas now working as ECE po. Keep inspiring po♥️

[@inanutshellvlog]

Yay happy to hear this!! Push lang!! Salamat din po sa inyo. 😊

[@mercilynalosbanos1462]

Salamat sa episode mo na ito Ma’am Ina. Dito na kami sa Canada. International student ako. Pwede ask sa email address ni Engr Neil, kasi civil engr yong asawa ko at sa kasalukuyan nagwork sa factory ng aluminum glass dito sa Toronto. Gusto ko na makawork siya ng sa civil engr field niya in preparation for PR application namin.

[@inanutshellvlog]

Ito po: mailto:[e-mail] Good luck po sa inyo. 🙏🏻

[@rebeccadelarosa9801]

mas mahirap talaga ngayon compared nung 20 years ago, kasi ang cost of living ngayon is much higher. pareho lang ang challenges sa paghanap ng trabaho gaya ng sinasabi nya but simply put, mas marami kang mabibili sa sweldo noon. and the worst sa situation ngayon ay ang housing costs. yun ang pinaka sobrang pahirap sa bagong dating...

[@marssarmiento4953]

Ganyan di ako dati nangangapa ako kong san ako maguumpisa at kong sino kakausapin ko dahil tradesperson ako mrs ko naman sa acounting wala za idea about sa feild ko, nagumpisa malaman ko kong saan pupuntahan ko ng pumasok ako sa school doon na marami akong nakilalang mga skilled person na napapagtanungan ko hanggang makakuha ng lesensya at ngayon meron na rin maliit na electrical contracting business maliit lang na negosyo

[@EvendimataE]

ANG HINAHANAP NYA DAW YUNG OK SA STRUGGLE DAW SA UMPISA....ANO PA ANG MAGIGING STRUGGLE KUNG MA BIBIGYAN NA AGAD NYA NG WORK?

[@pinoybasicliving8090]

sabi po ng iba..mahirap daw mglakad sa makapal na snow..mejo bago lang po ako dito sa ca..and i can say,mas mahirap maglakad sa mataas na baha..😅

[@inanutshellvlog]

Hehe!

[@pedromax6878]

Don’t generalize hindi naman lahat ng lugar sa pinas ay binabaha you’ll never know na maging maunlad ang pinas at mağaya ang japan na me flood control Always remember life is like roller coaster

[@bing1950]

Minsan kasi iyung nag apply ang resume nila ay threat sa position ng manager kaya hindi sila tinatanggap 😊 sabi nga nila lahat na raw CHIEFS wala ng INDIANS, puro na managers at supervisors wala ng workers😂

[@pedromax6878]

Kanya kanya lang po swerte yan gaya ng Tito ko na mas mayaman at millionaire sa pinas kesa sa mga tita ko na nagmigrate sa America in summary kahit saang bansa pwede kang maging mayaman depende sa abilidad mo pero you can’t exclude na me mga swerte na tao sa work at business kung saan lupalop man ng mundo

[@nesstumanda6583]

Pwede kaya mag apply husband ko? Dito pa po kami Philippines. Nasa engineering sector din sya

[@inanutshellvlog]

Check niyo po ang Onoyo Construction Surveys sa Canada Job Bank online. Baka po may opening na applicable po sa kanya. Good luck po!

[@shengshimmertv6672]

Anung email id po niya..

[@EvendimataE]

MAS MADALI NUNG ARAW PAG DATING IMMIGRANT AGAD....MAG HANAP NA LANG NG WORK ANG PROBLEMA. MERON NAMAN MGA AVAILABLE NA JOBS PERO DI NGA LANG MAGANDA

[@EvendimataE]

[@macdonaldwee9636]

Tama ka Neal ganun din ako mas maaga lang ako 2003 talagang ganyan lang ditow

[@putomendozaincanada2780]

Great episode po ! Tama po Sabi ni Kuya 100%. I've lived here pretty much my whole life and the struggle is similar just a different time

[@inanutshellvlog]

Thank you as always, Puto!

[@bornfree1888]

totoo yan way back pa raw in the 80s

[@inanutshellvlog]

@@bornfree1888 thanks as always! 🙏🏻

[@alf5155]

Very true. Lumaki na ako dito, it is much much improved now. Ang napansin ko lang most new immigrants have a sense of entitlement these days. I’m talking about all nationalities (especially non Filipinos), they’re angry because life is hard here and they expect Canada to give them everything. 🤷‍♀️

[@alf5155]

Ang pagkakaiba lang, immigrants need to bring more funds now to start here because of the high cost of living.
