It's a bit of an exaggeration. But as a general rule of thumb, your first job will be a few levels lower than what you want, and just having a PhD doesn't guarantee getting a job you want. Again, that's true of any developed country.

exaggeration? I doubt if you re in Canada yet but ok. Whatever floats your boat. When you guys come in then you face the reality.

lol you're making his point for him. Yes, PNPs are by definition the most qualified because they address specific needs in the country.

There is a nuance. He means pnp gives one a 600 point boost(deserving or not is another question). In some provinces, even non skilled work can get you a pnp.

Hi all,

May I ask where to upload in the online application:
1) police clearance, and
2) document checklist

Thanks in anticipation.

I'd rather work on my skillsets and improve than whine about the system being unfair. But yeah, I don't get it. Keep crying about it, I'm sure it will eventually help you out.

Yes, I'm not making any statements about whether or not it's deserved, or whether it's justified. But just by the system that's in place right now, it's what the country deems worthy. It is what it is.

I'm not in Canada, but I've lived in different countries, and it's the same everywhere with immigrants having some initial trouble with job hunting. There are very few fields where thatsearch becomes more manageable. I've heard all these pathetic sob stories before, even experienced some of them. You either adapt to the situation and market yourself better, or you sit and cry about it and become bitter and jaded with everything. The reality you and coolgal need to face is that if you really are having so much trouble there, it's you who is the problem, not everyone else.

I was thinking about the exact same thing, if a person had a negative experience in a workplace once, it might be a miscommunication or an accident, if it happens in two different workplaces, that person may be extremely unlucky, but if it happens all the time and in every workplace, he/she is the real problem.
I am living in Canada for 3.5 years and have many friends (and members of community) who are working in different occupations, those kinds of experiences are extremely rare in skillful jobs but heard about it (nepotism or disrespect) a couple of times from friends who had general jobs (interestingly enough, some were immigrants too). However, I would agree that finding the very first job in any foreign country including Canada could be challenging for many.

I suppose people deal with uncertainty differently. If I remember correctly, you're still waiting for an ITA? Meaning you're on a work permit? Good for you for sticking it out. And good luck. I'm wondering why you're waiting for an FSW draw if you've been in Canada for 3.5 years already?

Yes still waiting for an ITA from FSW draw, but one more possibility, and yes, I'm on a study permit and last year Ph.D. student.

Hey! :)

You need to apply via your Express Entry profile, which you can log into here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html.

You then follow the steps to upload any required documents. The list can be found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents.html.

Hope that helps!
