How to choose an English name for immigrants to Canada is very important.

The data in the paper also show that having an English name without changing your surname has little effect on job hunting. Even people with white surnames and first names, such as robert smith, are useful and have much better interview opportunities. If you just add an English name, Robert Zhang is not much different. So, for those friends who are struggling to choose an English name in order to find a better job, just use your real name.

The times are changing, * * * lives in the same community, and the local people's acceptance and familiarity with immigrants are increasing day by day, which is irreversible. The more you know each other, the more you understand, the more tolerant you are, and the more confident you are. Although this "subconscious" discrimination cannot disappear in a few years, it is always changing slowly. At least in the job search of the second generation of immigrants, I can't see the obvious difference between non-white names and white names. Of course, this is inseparable from the super academic performance of Chinese Indian children.

With their strength and qualifications, immigrants can be competent for many local jobs. What we can do is that migrant workers do a good job in every position, let employers know that immigrants are definitely the most capable employees who can work without causing trouble, and recommend their compatriots when there are vacancies. If children are interested, I encourage them to work in HR or headhunting when they grow up. Growing up in immigrant families, they know that a non-white name does not mean unknown and terrible, on the contrary, it represents diligence and progress, because this is their parents' personal experience.
