Hi all.

I am currently looking for work in Canada as a cook. I live in the UK and I am looking for an employer to sponsor me or point me in the right direction. I am currently going through the process of applying as a skilled worker as a cook, but my application could take years to process and I am looking for work now. I have included details of myself if you think you can help me.

Here is my work experience -
• 3 years as a kitchen assistant –
o Duties: Cold and hot food preparation, stock control, meal distribution, kitchen clean downs, and assisting cooks.
• 1.5 years as a line cook –
o Duties: Cooking hot and cold meals from a set menu, stock control, adding specials, handle food orders, work in a fast paced environment, and manage my area (garnish area with some experience on mains and grill).

I also have years of educational knowledge in IT and Business. Here is my education –
• Wigan and Leigh College (2006-2011) –
o ICT First Diploma: Distinction
o IT and Business National Certificate: Double Distinction
o Key Skills Application of Number level 2: Pass
o Key Skills Communication Level 3: Pass
o Computing Higher National Diploma: 11 Distinction & 5 Merits
• Open University (2010 – June-October) –
o Starting with Psychology: Pass
• Northumbria University (2011-2012) –
o BSc Applied Computing: Pass (Results will be available in July)

A little bit of information about myself –
I am from the UK, I am 22, I have a full UK driving licence, and I have recently finished my studies at University. I have had various types of jobs working in kitchens which I enjoyed and I am now looking for full-time work as a cook. My hobbies include swimming, jogging, watching movies at the cinema, and I am currently learning how to play the keyboard. I am English and have a full grasp on the English language whilst I am attempting to learn French on and off.

If anyone has any information that could help me immigrate to Canada, preferably to Saskatoon or an English speaking city, then could you please help me out please?


Cheers,

Jamie Ashbrook
