This one is fake for sure. I have worked in a team responsible for recruitment for various oil and gas companies, and we keep getting such scam notifications every other day. All the official correspondence by an organization is done by a registered email address (for eg. <contact...

Thank you for the response. So his writing skills are okay - can get basic financial, admin work done in English, but definitely not a writer, or anyone whose job depends upon framing sentences in English. He's to make his career in heavy machinery only. But it is his wife for whom they've taken...

Hi. I ask this for a friend who is immigrating to Canada - understands English well, speaks moderately, but has no writing experience. Was an expert JCB (heavy machinery) handler in India and Dubai. His NOC is 7521. How are job opportunities for such a skill set in Nova Scotia? Especially...

I have lived in 3 of them, and worked in two of them. So I'll cover Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal: Calgary: Landed there in the winter of 2017. Beautiful city, very affordable to live and very easy to find work in. Had the best of my time in the past one year in Calgary. But professionally...

Hi @imagine Your credentials look solid for a corporate role. Toronto should be the place for you. Vancouver never mushroomed beyond the traditional sales mindset, and I've lived in Calgary - it's beautiful, but professionally dead. Get in touch with employers/recruiters already. Connect with...

URGENT: Any graphic designer here, who is in Toronto? Previous experience in a publishing house an asset. Immediate opportunity. Only genuine candidates need reply.

Not needed. What they might, and in fact in most of the cases do, check for is references from your previous employer. It is part of background check which is must for every employer under provincial government labour acts in Canada. Expect your Canadian employer to call up a reference listed in...

Hi Anam Azhar. I would suggest you get in touch with recruitment agencies that offer specialized recruitment services connected to the job sector you have the skill set for. A friend of mine got into IT (he was a coder back in Bangalore) through inteqna.com - they offer IT recruitment services...

Management Consulting is big in Toronto - so consider that area on top priority unless you really have some solid reason to look into any other city/province to settle in. Calgary was once the highest paying sector for such professionals due to a number of O&G corporate headquarters, but the...

Hi. Look for statistics on Stats Canada, it is Canada government's statistical website with updated data on how well a sector is performing and in which province. I moved last year, and I was diligent to check on the stats one month prior to my flight. Additionally, you can download a salary...

Hi @parttimebasement . I am not really sure about which particular question, but I'll be happy to tell you an answer that worked for me not once, but thrice. My background is into Martech, so a lot of strategic and management work. A number of times I have been asked how did you handle...

Exactly, @russ6970 . It has to be in the primary language of the nation you are finding work in, unless it is for a position that specifically looks for a skill set in another language (I have found job postings in Canada which exclusively demanded knowledge of French, or Mandarin - English was...

Hi. Congrats on receiving your PR. I landed in Canada last year as PR (from India), and have written some posts in various threads on how to find jobs in Canada once here. The biggest glitch in getting a job offer before being here is your phone number! No one really says this, but unless you...

I don't really find ethnicity of the interviewer as a causative factor in the outcome of an interview. But my experience talks about Canadian employers and their expectations from a candidate in an interview. Hope it helps.

Hi everyone. I moved to Canada from India last year in October. Coming from a tropical zone to the winters of Canada was tough, but the people here are warm enough to make your stay pleasant. I have written about my experiences in finding a job during winters in Canada in another thread. Here I...

Hi. Came to Canada last year, and it was the onset of winter. Landed in Calgary and did not know how intense winters were in Canada and how big of an impact they had on job opportunities. I have replied to certain threads regarding this, but thought since it was an important enough topic, have...

Hi. Many congrats on you landing in Canada. Since you have a place to move in to, London is good. But I would suggest move to Toronto as soon as you get a job. London's unemployment rate is among the highest in Canada right now - when employment rate is the best in Canada it has ever been! Rent...

Personal living costs are pretty subjective to the kind of living standards you want to maintain. That said, Mississauga, and other suburbs near Toronto are a great place to be courtesy the amazing connectivity they offer. Rent, grocery and transit (if you don't own a car yet) should be the...

Hi. I landed as PR exactly one year ago. I was told the job market was bad due to an oil recession that had hit Canada badly. For two months, I had no job and winter hits you especially if you are moving from the tropics or the sub-tropics. Got a part time gig in a cafe by late November, and...
