Find available Jobs in Canada

Hi, Please help whats the best way to apply for jobs in Canada....I am from India.

If you are in the process of applying for the visa, i would say hold on till you get through. Most employers prefer permanent residents/citizens. However if your current employer is ready to get you a work visa that would be the first step.

Hello seniors,

How is the job market for Mechanical engineers having masters from US university?
Personally speaking I have a Engineering degree from India and did Masters( M.S.Mechanical) from USA. Have 2+ years of working experience from USA in Design and Engineering Field. And 4+ Years in total in Design, Engineering, and Fabrication.

How is the market for Engineers like me?

Is getting a PE Licence the only way to land a job or are there options?

Thanks in advance.

Got PR visa recently, however at the current market trend, almost nil job opportunities in my field. (2133). Can anyone update about the current job situation in Calgary/Edmonton/Toronto in engineering.

Is there any announcement of new projects?

Oil price decline has taken the toll of job market in engineering field. Please post whatever update you have.

I believe most of jobs which require security clearance are only for citizens and not for permanent residents. Would ask others who has experience to comment on this.

Yes from what I have looked into, police, fire, or anything government related you need to be a Canadian citizen to apply for the post. All job postings for government related positions should tell you on the description exactly what criteria is required before you apply.

It doesn't seem to be only for citizens, see below:

(14.) Are newcomers to Canada eligible for a Security Screening and/or Security Clearance?

Newcomers to Canada are eligible for a security screening and/or security clearance. However, the individual must be a resident
of Canada for the past 5 years, and hold valid Permanent Resident status or Canadian Citizenship. Individuals who do not meet
these criteria may be granted a clearance, although limitation on access and certain types of information may occur.

This is good to know ! Thanks..

So for new-comers wouldn't be eligible. You need to be in Canada for 5 years !

Yes thats the general criteria, but the document still left some slight hope for newcomers: "Individuals who do not meet

In Your opinion; where would be easier for us to find jobs between these 3 cities:

A) Calgary
B) Vancouver
C) Toronto

Tnx; any help will be appreciated

Note that "the WES recognition" only qualifies you for "attending" bridging programs in your field, or in applying for higher education.

Employers have no idea what "WES" is and couldn't care less to know what its about. I would say leverage on your experience (make
sure you build a quality resume), any international certifications in your field would be of great value....and try your best!

I've only been to Toronto, and its really tough here...although the jobs are many, but the competition is very high. Even those who are
already employed are still competing in the job market (cause they are looking for better jobs or higher offers).
