confused am I eligible or not

[scylla]

I really am confused by posible Canadian titles of my job...
For the past 9 years I am a Project manager (in a Municipality) and when I started to look on JobBank, Indeed, Monster.. everything that would came up after typing those words was related to construction jobs...
When I was searching for my NOC I was able to find NOC 0412 that I believe is suitable for my job description, more concrete "economic development co-ordinator"
The real trouble is, and that worries me these days, is that I'm not being able to find, guess, assume.. what kind of jobs am I qualified in Canada? Because there is no demand for "economoc development co-ordinator" in job market.
I'm aware that I won't be able to find something in public sector and that it will be challenging to find a job in Ca.. but I feel a bit lost in terms of what am I really qualified to do, how could be called those jobs and what kind of jobs will I apply to in Ca.
I'm panicking with all different job titles. I know I need to start from scratch, I'm not afraid of that.. I'm afraid of not being able to recognize oportunities and possible jobs.
I was manager on projects in tourism, culture, construction, infrastructure, sport, youth and so on, apart from that I was youth coordinator, investment coordinator, member of many boards- for scholarship, hiring etc.. there are many different things and I'm not able to figure out what could be titles suitable for me in Ca. It seem to me that I'm "all over the place" and simply lost

These are difficult questions for any of us to answer. Ultimately each individual has their own journey / path when they arrive in Canada in terms of finding employment. Some remain find jobs in their existing fields - others willingly change or are forced to change if they are unable to get employment in their area. In the end, a lot of it will depend on how you are able to market yourself and your past experiences / capabilities. Your job searches can certainly be all over the place (i.e. in many different fields / areas) - however you'll need to present yourself as focused to potential employers. Again, really hard for any of us to give you direction. You may be best off hiring a career consultant to help you find a focus. Maybe this is something you can considering doing now - ahead of applying to immigrate or coming to Canada?

Is there a driving reason you want to come to Canada now? If you have all of these concerns - the best option could very well be to remain where you are - especially given you have a family to support.

Good luck.

I agree.
I will certainly search everything I can find online prior actually making an EE profile. I need to be sure I have a good chance.

I live in a country full of coruption, nepotism, our educational system went down etc.. I want better for my kids.
One problem is when I need to swallow many things but much worse is watching my kids be forced to do the same.
I'll be optimistic where ever I end up living but I want to try better. My career is not something I consider the most important and I'm ready to make sacrifices if I have to in order to give my children better place to grow up... at least they won't be hearing negativity all day long because people are unsatisfied with life here (they have valid reasons)

And thank you
