Is it hard to find construction job in Canada?

 Hi,

This is my two cents. What I have found in more then eight months of research is that like in the USA most of the hiring companies are just small contractors and they do no have or want to have the resources (LMO) to offer work to foreigners. I am a carpenter and cabinet maker, in some provinces it is listed at the top of "most wanted" list; unfortunately a list means nothing today due to actual economy situation.

So what is left? Persistence, lucky and tolerance eventually it will payoff.  Good luck to all of us.

No. From Spring to "almost" witner you can find many companies doing public works and construction out there.

During the "snow" season you may want to find a company doing indoors jobs like painting and some remodelling. Also snowplowing could help.

If you want, you can also make your way as a "handyman" announcing your services at kijiji.ca

The only caution is that some construction jobs/sites require you to be in a union to work for them.  To get into the union is not always simple and there is more then one union depending on what you specifically do.  So just keep this in mind.

Some reference resources for you as you immigrant:
