Don't believe the hogwash. There is demand for skilled immigrants, it just depends on your field. Tech, healthcare, skilled trades, you'll land a job in no time. Regulated industries like engineering, etc, you'll need North American credentials. In business, also NA degree and native english fluency matters. Most other things, low demand (Talking Noc A,B occupations)

Seen plenty of people come from US and other countries and get into the Deloittes and Nestles in Canada. If you're actually qualified, can communicate well and aren't a weirdo, then anything is possible. Of course, your english accent matters as would any local accent anywhere. @ImpatientKangaroo likes to paint a far too grim picture

Thanks for the input from both of you Truth is probably in the middle haha.
It always amazes me why governments are surprised that nobody wants to work in the service industry anymore, working for low wage, hardly making ends meet. (same in my home country) It is not a labor shortage, it is definitely a wage problem! I can not imagine how some people can survive in Vancouver earning 40K or so... (retail associate salary: 35-40 K source: glassdoor)

I've had this debate way too many times so I'm not up for another round. I'm sure our friends will remember your unrealistic depiction of the Canadian job market when they've been looking for a decent job for 6-12 months.

I rather remind some actual data:

https://careers.workopolis.com/advice/how-long-does-it-take-canadians-to-get-a-new-job/#:~:text=Job searches can last anywhere,it is roughly four months.

How long does it take Canadians to get a new job?

Job searches can last anywhere from two days to over a year, but for most people it is roughly four months.

Be advised that it says Canadians so the numbers probably include both the citizens and the immigrants. Do that study again with just the immigrants and it's obviously above 4 months, probably sits somewhere between 6-12 months. It's also funny how software fellas like to come talk as if all jobs were software jobs.

Another one;

Why does it take so long to find a job?

To wit, a job that paid an annual salary of $50,000 would take, on average, 5 months to find.

So yeah, immigrants definitely find good jobs in Canada in n0 TyMe.

And another one;

How Long it Takes to Get a Job in Canada

Generally, it takes about 15 – 23 weeks to find a job in Canada if you have Canadian experience. New immigrants to Canada experience timelines anywhere from a few weeks to over 6 months!

Truth is probably in the middle haha

Is it?

I'm giving my anecdotal view, not statistics. I can take a step back and assess that the circles that I hang out around may not (most likely) represent the majority of newcomers, however, I just wanted to provide an alternative viewpoint to the doom and gloom and that the possibility of reaching the highest regarded jobs are possible.

Guys, my AOR is quite recent (dec/21), the only way to know my VO is ordering the GCMS notes, right?

you don't need to order any gcms before the 13th month. It won't benefit you in any way.

Saw a few more posts where people have received ADR/re-meds today, is IRCC really working today?

Canada extends medical exam exemption for some immigrants

It increases likelihood of CEC draws and TR to PR pathway in first half of 2022.

Bad news... All the official word so far has already been hinting that 2022 would be similar to 2021 but seeing it actually happen is still very upsetting.

Better to see Jan and Feb first but we can see what's coming. They first removed the job experience requirements (TR2PR) then they remove medicals just to keep the unskilled immigrants. What's next? Remove language requirements? Those people aren't very good at English anyway; and they don't need to be to do what they're doing. Is this really what "skilled immigration" has become? Unbelievable...

That doesn’t make much sense since most were being processed in under 6 months. The ones benefiting from this are inland spouses and FSW-I PNP-I

 

[PRANIT01]

I don't know their plans on processing the applications whether they're planning to fuck us in 2022 also.hearing all this it doesn't seem bright.
