However many new newcomers feel that they experience discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, and social acceptance.
Some claim that this discrimination is part of the system and therefore is part of the government institutions and social networks upon which newcomers depend. Many feel that the job market in particular is a closed network and inherently biased against newcomers

It could make a difference. Here is my story.
I landed in Canada (toronto) in July 2000. I stayed here 2 weeks. opened my bank acct, got SIN #. Tried to get a appartment. No luck. Without Job it was almost impossible. Got no Job offers. Applied to many places (at that time the Job market was much better). I took a cellular phone with a local toronto number and used to give that in my resume (trying to fool them that I was in Toronto). It seemed to make some difference. After going back I got 3 or 4 calls (All of them thinking I was in toronto and I used to tell them I can be there next day for an interview if needed). I attended 2 interviews but could not land any. I came to Toronto for a few days for those interview. After that I went back and luckily the US company I was working for had a project in toronto and I took the offer they gave and moved to canada permanently in November, 2000. I worked till the project got over in Jan, 2002 and since then I am laid off and looking for work and havent gotten any response.
You can try giving somebodys local number in toronto (or wherever you land).
