In Canada, many Chinese do not have Canadian degree. All my Canadian friends with Canadian or US degrees, even with a undergraduate degree, all of them have Canadian's PR (green card). None of them had difficulties to find a good job.
In my view, Chinese with children in Canada had a slightly better life than their US conterparts.
My definition of good job and a good living is:
--- Can afford an average single house in where they live
--- Having two cars
--- Can easily afford two to three child in full-time daycare or a full time baby-sitter
--- Can have one domestic trip and one oversea trip every year
--- Can contribute to the maximum allowed amount to their retirement saving plan
--- Can save enough money for children's university education (need mouch more money in US)
--- Have good health insurance for everybody in the family (a non-issue in Canada)
