SURREY - An India-born scientist who was denied a job in the Northwest
Territories after he was deemed to be overqualified will go before the
Federal Court of Canada later this month in a hearing many in the
Indo-Canadian community believe will be precedent setting for highly
qualified immigrants who find it difficult to employ their skills in
Canada.
Surrey resident Gian Singh Sangha is asking the federal court to award
him back pay or employment in his field after he was turned down in 2001
for a job with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board because
officials decided he was overqualified for the position.
A hearing in the matter is scheduled for April 12 in downtown Vancouver.
Sangha, 58, earned a PhD in environmental science in Germany. With 15
years experience in the environmental field, he scored among the highest
of applicants for a job as a regulatory officer with the Mackenzie
board. However, he was not offered a position.
