THIS IS WORTH REMEMBERING. The law in Canada I did not know this, but I will now do it. Good to know, especially since rumour has it that Canada Post Customer service is headed to India before the New Year. A lot of us do not realize this option is open to us. Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit card, banking, charter communications, health and other insurance, computer help desk, etc. ) and you find that youre talking to a foreign customer service representative (with an accent difficult to understand perhaps in India , Philippines , etc), please consider doing the following: After you connect and you realize that the Customer Service Representative is not working in Canada (you can always ask, if you are not sure about the accent), please, very politely as this is not about trashing other cultures, say, Id like to speak to a Customer Service Representative in Canada . The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but again politely, say, “Thank you, but Id like to speak to a Customer Service Representative in Canada .. YOU SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO A REP IN CANADA, IMMEDIATELY. Thats the rule and the LAW. It takes less than one minute to have your call re-directed to Canada. Tonight when I got redirected to a Canadian Rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was from Calgary .. Imagine what would happen if every Canadian Citizen insisted on talking to only Canadian phone reps, from this day on. Imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of Canadian jobs that would need to be created ASAP. Lets slow down and possibly reverse some of our unemployment problems. If I tell 10 people to consider this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this - see what I mean...it becomes an exercise in viral marketing 101. Remember - the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. You will get correct answers, good advice, and solutions in real English.
