When you come to Vancouver, you will always face some difficulties in employment: Chinese company vs. local company, what should I choose if my English is good?

This question actually exists in cities like Vancouver and Toronto where there are many Chinese immigrants, while in some small places, such as small towns where the Chinese population only accounts for 1%, what else is there to consider? Chinese companies don't even exist.

There are a variety of opinions around the topic of "Chinese company or Western company". When you're faced with offers from multiple categories in Vancouver, which one is the better choice? Below are some of the opinions, many of which are real-life examples.

Opinion: Vancouver Chinese companies have no problem

Rationale: Vancouver Chinese have a voice

Those who hold this view point out that the political circles of the Greater Vancouver cities are now active in the number of Chinese officials, councillors, and there are many outstanding representatives of immigrants from the mainland.

It is true that in many North American cities where the Chinese have no voice, Chinese companies and the Chinese job market are somewhat out of touch and non-mainstream. But that doesn't happen in Vancouver. Chinese people have a high status, then Chinese companies will naturally grow more smoothly.

Opinion: It's better to go to a Western company

Rationale: Higher ceiling, more potential

This group of people believes that there is no need to think about it at all, and that you must go to a Western company if you want to call the shots here someday. Chinese companies can at best be used as a springboard to gain experience.

Let's say you're an IT elite, would you want to keep growing with a Chinese IT startup instead of trying a big company like Microsoft or Amazon? In the long run, it must be better to go to a Western company.

Opinion: Chinese companies in Vancouver are definitely worth going to

Rationale: All small workshops? Don't forget this is Vancouver!

Chinese companies in foreign countries often have the prejudice that they are small-scale workshops with only a few employees. Is that right? Don't forget this is Vancouver. Let's talk about food and drink. Chinese chains of famous restaurants have come and gone. Shopping? High-end Chinese brands like Laofengxiang Jewelry have already opened stores in Vancouver.

No matter what field you're in, big Chinese companies have taken root in Vancouver, and there's one for you. All small workshops? Vancouver doesn't take the blame for that one.

Opinion: Western companies are better

Rationale: More formal, everything is in order

Those who hold this view point the finger at Chinese companies for their informality: some don't even pay half-monthly, some even pay cash, they don't offer insurance, and they are behind on wages?

And they argue that everything is formal in Western companies, regardless of size, and that rules and regulations are fully respected. At least it gives you peace of mind when you are working and don't think about anything more.

Opinion: Chinese companies are more suitable for Chinese people

Rationale: Fewer communication barriers, easier to reach agreement

This viewpoint holder believes that why not go to Vancouver, where there are already many Chinese companies? At least there are fewer communication barriers and fewer cultural divides, so it's easier to reach an agreement.

For example, if you are a designer, the aesthetic perspectives of Chinese and Westerners are very different, so if you work for a Western company, you might have a hard time getting your work done. Same goes for other professions~ why bother to go through the detour of integrating into the West? Chinese companies are definitely enough for you to choose from.

Opinion: Western companies are obviously better

Rationale: The purpose of going abroad can only be truly achieved

This group of people believe that: What is the purpose of going abroad? The purpose of going abroad is to integrate into the local community, to make friends with the locals, and to make a name for yourself in the local workplace, which is the only way to have a sense of fulfillment. Even if you earn more at a Chinese company, you're still dealing with hundreds of thousands of Chinese.

While working in a Western company, you may have bumps in the road at first, but once you get used to it and integrate, you will realize that you have so much energy, and you can be a "master" in other people's land. This kind of satisfaction can't be given by Chinese companies.

Opinion: Chinese companies are better

Rationale: You won't lose your job at the drop of a hat

There are a lot of people who have experienced this, and they think that Western companies have a high elimination rate, a long contract period, a long probation period, and a low retention rate. Moreover, many times you are eliminated not because of your ability, but because of your personality and integration problems, leaving you with no place to redress your grievances.

No way, as a Chinese, there will always be some unfairness in a Western company. So instead of that, why not go work for a Chinese company? There's very little elimination here, and it's a place where you're more reliant and have a sense of belonging.

Western vs. Chinese companies, the controversy over this issue will never die down, and the prejudice against each other will always be there. It's a tough choice when it comes to finding a job in Vancouver.
