Dear humsafar, Derry and Captain74
Very many thanks for your contributions. Pleassure to know that Insurance Professionals are also part of this forum.
I completed my landing formalities just last month and came back. During my stay in Canada, I met one of my old friends who is living there for over 7 years. Before migrating to Canada, he had worked in Insurance industry for many years at senior level and once attained the position of CEO with one of the world's renowned insurance companies. He shared his experience with me which I hope would be of interest to you guys.
He holds ACII diploma, but this didn't work in Canada, as any qualifications acquired outside Canada is generally not recognised by Canadian employers. He then completed CIP diploma and again couldn't get a job even at entry level, as he was having no Canadian experience. Finally he started his own business in another field and living on that.
I think different people have different experience in securing job in their own profession, so one should not disappointed by failure of another, but before entering Canada, we have to keep some alternative in mind, in case we do not succeed in getting a job in our own profession.
Wish you all the best.
Thanks Can10,
the experience of you friend, which you shared, further emphasize on the point, than we sould expect and make our self prepared to do any low paid or passing Job, and in the mean time shall acquire experience and qualification,
If my case progresses, than definitely i will do some courses acceptable in canada insurance market before departing.
by the way, exactly in which field of insurance you are, and from which country you applied.
