how to get a job while you are out of the canada

[useless79]

Hi,

I from India and working as a software engineer. I consulted with this
site for knowing how to get PR. But they told me that if you have
any job offer from canada it would be easy to get PR there.Hence I
uploaded my resume on www.monster.ca one month back. But could
not get a single call so far.Could any one tell me what to do in this
situation and how to get a job offer from canada being in India. Is there
any employer who will take interest in my CV if I don't have any visa?

Thanks.

If you want a job offer, you need to do a lot more than just upload your resume on monster.ca and wait for people to call you.  You need to look for job ads and contact people by email or by phone before you send them your CV.  This is important because personal contact may help them remember you and actually look at your CV.  You may send a lot of CV's without getting a response or you may get lucky and get an offer fast.

There was a member on this board who said they send literally thousands of CV's and there was one employer they were in email contact with discussing the possibility of getting a job there for a year before the employer finally said ok and applied for an LMO for them.  Getting a job offer will depend on how wanted your skills are and how lucky you get and how persistant you are with your search.

Here are some job websites:

Thanks for your reply. I will try to follow as you advised.
But could you tell me which state will be better for me I can
bear moderate cold and love beaches.Which is your state
regarded as IT hub where I can get a lot of opportunity to
explore my self in this field. And one last but important
question. I checked the annual slary of a software enginner
through salary calculator of this site and came to know that
average slary of an software enginner in canada is around
50 - 60 thousnds CAD per annum and the annual rent of
2BHK room is around 2 thousand CAD per month which
comes around 18 thousand per annum. Apart from this you
have to pay taxes around 30 to 50 % of your salary.
And at last your daily spending. At the year end you will
have savings of around 20 thousand.With this little amount
is it possible to leave in a city like Toronto and Montreal ?
How a person can servive with this earnings in costly
country like canada ? Please help in this matter and suggest
some idea.Tell me if I am wrong somewhere with data.

I don't know how much a software engineer makes but I don't think your rent is going to be 2000 a month unless you live in some luxury apartment building with pool and gym and guy who holds the door open for you.

Your taxes off 50-60 grand should not be more than 30%, probably less.

Hi Leon

Googled and came across this site.
I believe you can maybe gimme suggestions on how to proceed .

I already hold a PR card and lived in canada for 7 years.Moved bck to india for my son(canadian citizen) for his studies and im working in india with a huge organisation.Now i wanna move bck to canada my and found my PR card expired and hence have applied for a travel document.

Im job hunting too.Is is possible for me to find a job before landing in canada so i can board on to canada with certainity.

Yes, you can look a few posts above where I posted links to some job search websites.  You can look on there.  Just make sure you tell them you are already a PR so you are free to take the job, no work permit needed.
