    How I found my first job in Canada

    Hi, I used mainly LinkedIn to search for jobs. I would read through the description to see if there is something like "reporting to the director of XYZ". If there was not, I would assume it was one level up with a similar title - say I was seeing the position of Sr Manager of ABC, then I would...

    The problem is that if it is YOUR mistake, they are unlikely to reopen your case. in my case they were requesting a PCC that I did not need. So you should go ahead and ALSO create a new EE profile.
