Based on my experience of being a front-line worker and seeing people who have come into my centre requiring help, yes, there is definitely a feeling of being disheartened. Many of them come here as skilled workers, so they really do have the expectation that they're going to be able to put their skills to use. They come and realize that the foreign credential process is very lengthy or that the fees associated with doing that are very high, and it becomes very depressing and very debilitating. And if you cannot maintain a certain emotional stability, there is no way you can progress further.
Based on my clientele, I would say yes.
