So now the truth comes out, it isn't the school that has the issue but the government representative and only because it is considered a public service. This poor woman getting the shaft by very intolerant people.

I am also thinking that she is already a qualified pharmacist, which believe it or not there is a demand in Canada.

I have received a bit of a hard time for defending this lady's right to wear her religious accoutrement, but we are mot only a multi-cultural society, but we are a country that has had a positive record for acceptance of others. Maybe I am just stupid but I really dont see why so many are getting all negative about her and her choices. She isnt hurting anyone so what exactly is the problem?

Go back to Egypt if you can't accept our cultures.. end of story

OH please! you go over there and see how much tolerance you get.. headscarfs are one thing.. this type of garb is crap and there is no place in our society for it.

BTW, Brenda, in LaPresse of Montreal, we heard more about his immigration process.
She doesn't speak french NOR english but her husband is a Canadian (engineer) and she is a pharmacist (she has the diplomas).

How can she be a Canadian registered pharmacist if she does not speak the language? I read they have PR status, and the spouse does not have to speak English or French to become one(although it works better for points).

He might be an engineer, but is he a Canadian one? Because you have to at least work a year in your field of enginering before you can call yourself an engineer again, and you have to register. At least, that is how in works in BC.

But what of those who go to Canada and refuse to accept Canadian values and impose their beliefs on other Canadians. What would have happened if a male student had chosen, or needed, to sit in the front row, or if the only teacher available at the time had been male? Sorry, Canada has done its part by allowing you to become a PR, the rest is up to you.

I have been over there as you call it, and let me tell you they are more accepting of us than we are of them. For the record he is a list of Arab countries and cities that I have been to:

Kuwait City, Kuwait
Manama, Bahrain
Doha, Qatar
Muscat, Oman
Dubai, UAE
Abu Dabbi, UAE
Fallujah, UAE

The cause of the differences between them and us is ignorance.

[ShepherdsDog]

I thought Fallujah was in Iraq?

Listen I am in the Navy and when we pull into a port it usually isnt a military base and there are plenty of female crew members and none of them had problems walking through the markets or malls are wherever else they went, they certainly werent wearing burkhas or head scarves or any of that BS. I can only speak to my experience and I have had a fair bit it isnt always as it seems. The only reason why ex-pats live in compounds is so they can do things that they wouldnt normally be allowed such as alcohol and such.

This BS is out of hand and I expect more of my fellow Canadians, as we are losing our multi-cultural identity in favour of the AMERICAN melting pot

PS: I meant Fujairah not Fallujah

She's a pharmacist but she doesn't have the license to practice here. That's why she is (was learning french.

Yesterday she played the "victim" card, saying we are destroying her dreams.... How sad !
She also said she is a "moderate muslim". I'm scared to see what a "radical muslim" is....

[Brenda]

She doesnt??? WTF??? Pharmacists make $45/hr. An automechanic makes $20/25/hr and DOES have to go back to school (well, not in BC, but they do in Ontario and AB...). RN's have to go back to school, but pharmacists don't?

[kenmore]

Exactly Brenda..and that card is played daily in Québec. push push push for their cause. And stokes, how is standing our ground against those that wish to change us losing our multi-cultural identity? These people are not visiting! they are infiltrating and demanding we change.. I say screw them. they change or get back on the boat.
