Hi. Based on my experience I got my employer thru Canada job bank. Just patiently send resume with cover letter directly to the employers. They will respond to your application. I have been sending resume three months before I found my employer. Just pray and God will guide you in every step of the way. Good luck

Hi there lemme share my experiences:

I have been applying since 2009. I have tried all the possible means. To be honest, i think i have sent about 5k plus applications to each and every provinces in Canada. Some of them would respond with " please reapply once ur status have changed and if u already have rights to work in Canada". This is what I usually get.

The best thing that really worked for me is by going through each and every company websites ( from smallest to biggest firms). It will really pay off if you dont lose patience and hope. And just last year i managed to find an employer out of thr 5k plus applications I have sent out.

Go to your google, try to do searches by keywords like "lmo jobs canada". This will lead you to all the sites that offers such. Meanwhile, u may want to try kijiji , job bank.gc.ca , monster.ca .

Good luck hopefuls.

May the Good Lord Bless You and Guide you all through out.

WOW. congrats. What position did you apply for and what company? That is the fastest application I ever heard. Some got hired after more than 1000 applications, some took it 6 months up. Can you share your techniques in applying please?
