What is Canadian experience, eh? A financial industry perspective

Koltermann, Iren Hessami 17 September 2013 (has links)
This research identifies the dimensions of Canadian experience from the perspective of recruiters in the financial industry. Lack of Canadian experience is a systemic barrier to successful economic adaptation of new immigrants to Canada. Using modified grounded theory, semistructured interviews were conducted with thirteen front line recruiters in the Canadian financialsector. Analysis reveals that employers seek communication and leadership skills that are expressed in a uniquely Canadian style. As well, they wish to minimize the risk of a bad hiring fit, and the costs of training and acclimatization, so they use prior experience as proof of competence. Due to the style requirements, this prior experience should be in a Canadian environment. These results are then analyzed through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's cultural capital theory as applied to the social concept of Canadian experience.

A experiência canadense : uma barreira à integração dos imigrantes qualificados brasileiros no Canadá

Matthiesen, Mariana Silva Rangel January 2017 (has links)
Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Marilda Aparecida de Menezes / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, 2017. / O requerimento da experiência canadense é uma barreira que dificulta o acesso do imigrante qualificado a empregos com nível de qualificação equivalente. Inicialmente tomada como uma experiência de trabalho no Canadá ela demonstra ser um termo polissêmico diante dos diversos âmbitos em que se insere. Tomamos como objetivo desta pesquisa compreender de que forma a experiência canadense influencia na inserção dos imigrantes qualificados brasileiros no Canadá. Estabelecemos como objetivos específicos: contextualizar o campo em que se dá a experiência canadense; investigar o que é a experiência canadense para os imigrantes qualificados brasileiros no Canadá; e compreender a dinâmica em que o fenômeno da experiência canadense ocorre. A metodologia desta pesquisa se concentrou na pesquisa bibliográfica e na pesquisa de campo, sendo esta constituída da aplicação de questionário e entrevistas. Para a análise de dados dos resultados do questionário utilizamos estatística descritiva simples e para as entrevistas fizemos uso da grounded theory. Partimos da hipótese que a experiência canadense mobiliza primordialmente o capital cultural do imigrante qualificado brasileiro no Canadá. Para elucidar o problema de pesquisa utilizamos os conceitos de capital, habitus e campo de Bourdieu. Como resultados obtivemos que a experiência canadense atua como um processo de desvalorização e diferenciação dos imigrantes em diversos parâmetros, de maneira implícita e sutil. Caracterizando-a como o requerimento de um capital cultural que acaba por impor seu próprio tempo, não respeitando assim o processo de aquisição individual e gerando um habitus. Desta forma a experiência canadense acaba ferindo a proposta de multiculturalismo e integração canadense construída pelo país, apresentando um campo que vai além do mercado de trabalho no Canadá. / The Canadian experience requirement is a barrier that hinders skilled immigrants access to comparable qualifying jobs. Initially taken as a work experience in Canada, it proves to be a polysemyc term in front of the various values in which it is inserted. Based on that, this research aims to understand how the Canadian experience influences the insertion of qualified Brazilian immigrants in Canada. We set specific objectives: contextualize the field in which the Canadian experience takes place; investigate what is the Canadian experience for qualified Brazilian immigrants; and understand the dynamics in which this phenomenon occurs. The methodology used in this research was bibliography and field research, which consists of applying a questionnaire on the internet and interviews. To analyze the data gathered through the questionnaires we used simple descriptive statistics and to analyze the interviews we used grounded theory. The main hypothesis is that Canadian experience main function is to primarily mobilize the cultural capital of qualified Brazilian immigrants. To elucidate the research problem, it is used Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of capital, habitus and field. As a result, we concluded that Canadian experience acts as a process of devaluation and differentiation of immigrants in several parameters, implicitly and subtly. It is characterized as a requirement of a cultural capital that imposes its time and does not respect the process of individual acquisition, generating a habitus. We have found that the Canadian experience hurts the multiculturalism and integration proposal built by Canada, presenting a field that goes beyond the Canadian labor market.
