As we prepare, this article below could be useful -


There has been a lot of talk in the news lately and several in-depth reports released discussing the mismatch between employers and candidates on the Canadian labour market. Workopolis conducted our own research for a report called 'Mind the Gap,' detailing how the differing perspectives of employers and job seekers are preventing them from connecting. You can see the infographic here.

On a more basic level, I decided to take a look at Workopolis' own data based on site usage, to see how the behaviour of the two groups stack up. So, I took a look at some recent statistics from Workopolis comparing the numbers of job postings in given areas and industries to the numbers of corresponding job searches being conducted by candidates across Canada.

Based on looking at where there are the biggest differences between job searches by candidates and jobs posted by employers, we can see trends in where certain workers are most in demand and where the competition for specific jobs is the highest.

In Calgary, there are amongst the most jobs posted with the fewest associated job searches in the engineering fields. This is actually the highest discrepancy of any region or industry nationally. Edmonton is also a hot job market for engineers. Accountants are also in demand in both cities.

On the other hand, there seems to be a surplus of people looking for Sales and Manufacturing jobs in the west given the fewer number of job positions available on Workopolis.

In Montreal there appears to be a shortage of software developers, office staff and sales people. That city is actually showing a surplus of engineers and financial professionals.

In Toronto bankers and finance professionals are in short supply as the number of jobs posted on Workopolis far outstretches the corresponding job searches. Software developers and skilled trades people are similarly in demand in Canada's biggest city. Toronto job searches are showing a surplus of IT, insurance and digital media professionals.

Vancouver, Ottawa and Winnipeg look fairly well balanced with no particular industry standing out as a noteworthy surplus or shortage.

This Workopolis data is readily available to us here, so please let me know if you find reading these numbers useful or interesting. If so I can make a regular feature of reporting on how job postings and searches are adding up.

Dear All,
I have been forgetting to give this counsel. Please, anytime you are landing, u may think off coming with at least 2 courses of anti-malarial for each member of ur family o.Malaria is not here hence very difficult to see anti-malaria.It also takes some time b4 the malaria parasite in ur Nija blood clears off. U should also note that they may confine u so that u don't infect others if u r diagnosed of malaria. Pls note that this is just an information and I am not saying u should not go to hospital for malaria in Canada if necessary. Regards to u all.

Another thing I remembered, don't bother to buy phone from Nija.The network providers are ripp off. Most of them will package u on contract deal with their own phone.Their sims will not be compatible with ur phones most time and where compatible they may tell u the sim card alone is $20 or so.
U may also need adaptor for ur appliances bcs the type of ac socket here is different.It is the tiny flat type they use here.

Hello All,

This is a bad news to those waiting to submit application in January as Canada has shifted goal poles yet again.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2012/2012-12-19.asp?utm_source=media-centre-email&utm_medium=email-eng&utm_campaign=generic

May 4, 2013...............Canada is a conservative country please always note this o.

I wish you all merry xmas and a happy and prosperous new year 2013!

Pa Right, Well, l don't know whether this is bad news in it's entirety. I believe the CIC/VOs really want to have enough time to clear off many Applications still pending since Feb 2008 in some Visa Offices. For example AVO, still have some left over in Ml and M2 & M3 have not been touched at all. So AVO need the allotted Jan to May 2013 to cope with remaining PPRs and start issuing MRs.
To me l think it is not good to collect new Applications and keep the Applicants waiting perpetually as they are currently doing to us.
My view anyway.
Wishing all our Forum members and households Merry Christmas & Prosperous New Year 2013 IJN Amen.

 

[gabrilla]

I learnt that cic will shut down from December 12th and resume first week of January 2013. How true is that, does it mean no PPR and MR till January 2013?. Na wao

richierichie, Dmaks congratulations.

U may also need adaptor for ur appliances bcs the type of ac socket here is different.It is the tiny flat type they use here.

@1win,

Can the adaptor for appliances be bought in Canada or you advise we come along with it from Naija?

 

[Iwin2]

@ 1win,

Can the adaptor for appliances be bought in Canada or you advise we come along with it from Naija?

Can be bought here but it is better if u can get from Nija.Things are expensive here particularly if u have not started making dollar; even if u go to Wallmart or superstore where things are believed to be cheap in Alberta.

 

[EMO]

Is it that optimism is on the downward trend or what? Where is everyone in the house? There are still others with MR that are awaiting PPR and those awaiting MR and the vigil must continue till we all get what we are looking for.

Keep the fireworks up and let all the believers in the house say " Our joy shall not be delayed more than necessary..."

Happy day

Cheers
