I actually thought of going to Alberta, but outside their niche market, it’s really difficult to start there. I don’t understand why they invited so many engineers if there are no jobs. Do they expect those engineers to arrive and start a company, where it will take years to get your professional engineering license? That coupled with the fact Canada HR treats everyone without Canadian experience with eww.

You’ll get a PR due to French. Francophone immigration outside of Quebec is up there with NOC draws in terms of priorities. They will probably do something to accommodate those who know French.

Agreed. For a difficult start, AB isn't different than any other province except ON and QC for engineers (and literally every other STEM that's not compsci/software/IT). In fact, if you're in energy, chem, mining, petroleum, there are actually many jobs but it's still a joke because of the "eww" you mentioned. It didn't surprise me though, after seeing my Canadian born friends all terrified of the job hunt. So yeah it's just shit overall.
I mean sure I can go to ON or QC but QC ain't Canada and ON is an immigrant hell and literally a downgrade from my home country so yeah nah.
I gotta tell you though, housing in AB is a fucking dream man I'm loving it after Van.
That’s good to know. Still the traumatized part of me will go for citizenship as soon as I could just to make sure of never needing a 3rd immigration process. Life is too short for that
Your home country must be pretty nice
My mom is a US PR and she frequently goes to Brazil, due to have housing in Brazil as her retirement plan. One year she had to go twice because of an emergency and the second time she returned, the border officer started questioning her a lot, making her have to prove she actually lives in the US. You are not safe until you become a citizen, but she’s been waiting for over a year for her citizenship. US for immigrants is hell. Immigration instead of being helpful are actually there just to test you your whole life.That’s good to know. Still the traumatized part of me will go for citizenship as soon as I could just to make sure of never needing a 3rd immigration process. Life is too short for that
Yo. Sorry to interrupt your hate filled rant again. But I remember you! I actually used to have good conversations with you and Dankboi a few months back. What happened? Listen buddy! Things will get better. I know it's hard, it's hard for everyone. Eventually you'll find a career in Canada. That's all I want to say. Bye!
Thanks for your response. But that's just a guessing game to be honest. Whether or not they will open something up specially for Francophones. But I do hope that my accounting experience will help me somehow. Last time I checked, they were still in-demand. But in all honesty, I wouldn't mind at all if NOC specific draws were delayed until 2023 haha.
Thanks for liking my post. Just know that I'm hoping the best for you and we can have conversations like we used to have before. When things are dark, they're really dark, and then they get better. I know, I've been there! Just stay hopeful, and doors will open eventually.

Semi-trolling as usual mate. I try to mix some truth in it too though. I'm not at all surprised by what I faced here because I'd lived it before and now I'm living it again. Partly sharing my view here so that folk might be aware. And I meant it when I implied you should not at all be worried about NOC-based draws. Take my word on this; every peep we have here will get their PR eventually, including yourself. Not a single fella will be left without it by mid 2023. Thing is, the ride until you get your PR is not the real thing. The real journey begins after you've got your PR and it's not an easy ride at all. Not even for Canadians themselves.
But that's a part of life my mate. Let me tell you my story without making it too long. I almost came close to immigrating to Canada before EE in the early 2010s. I even had a very decent job lined-up. Then the Canadian government overhauled its entire system and then I had to go back home. It was a very dark period of my life. I could've given up, I just had a two year Canadian diploma, nothing else. But I did my Bachelors and Masters in Europe, and learned French from scratch. I faced a lot of shit, conflict and problems in Europe, much more than in Canada. And now I think I'll be eligible for my Canadian PR.
After that, I am sure that I'll go through many problems again, but eventually I am sure I will find something in Canada that I like doing and can make a decent living in the process. You may not get a job at TD, but you can learn trades, etc which can really bump your salary up in Canada. I knew a Canadian guy working for BMO. He was sick of the politics, and then he left his job to drive a cargo van from Windsor to up state New York. He has a very nice house in Waterloo right now. I guess life is all about struggles with brief moments of relief and happiness. Sorry to be a wise-ass and pontificating, but I really do think that things will get better for you and despite the issues, you will be looking back at this period with a massive "umph" once you're all settled in.

Sorry to jump in. But as someone who is also concerned about potential NOC draws, what was the pre-EE system? Which NOCs were eligible? Is there a document or a link to read abut it?
Bro, the mods left after you disappeared, so I guess they are hunting you.
If the mods come back in here, I'll be so mad at you
