Is this for real?

I got through three pages without anyone questioning this haha. But come on some of these are too ridiculous and stereotypical to be a real person. Right?

This is obviously a troll job, just from the way he uses english, right from the first page. He's not making the "right" errors (in particular plurals are too good), and uses "cuz" and "man" and "lmao", among other things.

Also look at his use of tenses.

It was entertaining though.

You're chinese and you're fully fluent in english.

And I haven't seen a movie use "lmao".

I've never met a chinese person who in some sentences has mastered the past, present and future tenses in English (which don't exist in Mandarin) but in others fakes the verb to use no tense. Its like you're slipping out of character.

Then workwise... Probably fast food, or cleaning services.

Your education is worthless here and you'll have lots of difficulty communicating with people. You'll have the same trouble getting a job as someone who only has high school and no practical work experience.

Have you been in touch with any organizations like this: http://www.immigrantservicescalgary.ca/language/chinese

I don't know this organization in Calgary, but similar organizations in other Canadian cities offer a lot to support new immigrants.

I don't know where you live or your nationality. You appear to be fluent in English and likely Mandarin. You either live in China or know how to use a proxy server.

But you're faking your lack of fluency in English.

It is/was funny though. But it was time to call it out as others were already starting to.

You're not Jim Shergil. You could be The President on another tour.

"Borat" is not a good movie to model your English on. Do not watch any more "Borat"!
