I am currently skimming through job websites and understanding what are the requirements...have created a long lists of gaps..prioritised those and trying to fill it up before I start actively looking...e.g cbap certification for BA is something I have noticed in quite a few jobs.. It will however depend on your specific area..grajdev382 said:

You may need to create a new thread for that. On the same note though, CIC mentioned that Employers who cannot find a suitable Canadian candidate can reach out to potential candidates via Job Bank. I haven't heard of this occurring to date. So it would be interesting to really determine how effective or neccessary Job Bank really is.cyronn said:
As per my knowledge so far in Canada. It is waste of time to apply for jobs from Outside Canada. Even when you land in Canada, all that people ask is Canadian Experience and Canadian Reference (international reference might not work). Please be assured that you will get temporary jobs and Canada will one day absorb you. Only thing is it might take time, please be prepared for it.gregrdyer said:
I have not heard any one getting a job through job bank...it is one of the worst designed site I have ever seen..one more thing I believe needed to land a job is to start networking...I have started the process of identifying friends\ seniors who are in canada and in different it companies..it would be odd if I contact them immediately for a job so bit of hello and how now..and informing them to keep a lookout for opening s..gregrdyer said:
You will need network for sure, how much people/friends/relatives will help is another question for a later date. Please keep contacting your people/friends/family in Canada.deyka said:I have not heard any one getting a job through job bank...it is one of the worst designed site I have ever seen..one more thing I believe needed to land a job is to start networking...I have started the process of identifying friends\ seniors who are in canada and in different it companies..it would be odd if I contact them immediately for a job so bit of hello and how now..and informing them to keep a lookout for opening s..
Yup that is a point..but the positive thing is for it companies inter company transfer to Canada is difficult nowadys lot of rejections..I have also done a comparative study of the jobs which comes to market in UK and Canada..and it is much high in Canada..which indicates they are not able to bring people..in UK at least u get 1 yr short term...and about the contacting part you need to contact the right people..for eg..BRMs. Who need to fulfill the requirements, there is always short fall of good candidates..that I know from my own exp..I interview at least 10 person every day for BA openings here and I feel lucky if I get even 1....karunya.vemulapalli said:
Well it is completely different here (Canada) from UK. I worked for NHS Nottingham (QMC) for 2 years before I left to my home country. Atleast they didn't ask me for UK experience or UK reference.deyka said:

I am seeking IT job in Canada under NOC 2173. I have 15+ yrs of experience. Ihave been applying through monster and workopolis etc. but looks like it's all waste of efforts applying through outland. Wish Canadian employer were as smart as US employers. I seriously doubt if even a fraction of employers know what LMIA is. And a fraction of employers who know what LMIA is would dare to move forward with LMIA. It looks like dead end situation to me since I had been applying for job for last 5 months. Thoughts? Suggestions?
