Wow, that's discouraging :(..... although not hard to believe because Canadian employers are quite skeptical of degrees from any country. May I ask, where are you located? I see a Quebec flag in your profile -is that where you are? I can't speak much about Quebec because I've only lived in...

For immigrants, any teaching job is very difficult to get. It's difficult even for Canadians born in Canada . First you need to have a local degree; however this doesn't guarantee employment in the field. This thread may give you an idea...

Hello everyone, Here's another scam email I received last week. ----------------------------------------------------------- From: "Clara Shaw" <maggotdc1@yandex.ru> Subject: Explore career opportunities. Hi, I am Chief HR Officer of Starling Business Group. And I found your CV on HR...

You should contact the Human Resources Association of the province where you're going to land. For example, in Ontario there's the HRPA, in Alberta it's HRIA, in BC, HRMA... Check with them to see their requirements. I heard that a GPHR certification can get you a fast track to earn the CHRP...

No local license or experience? No visa?? Don't bother sending resumes, it's a waste of your time. Employers are only looking locally. They will not even consider someone in another Canadian province. The opportunities of outsiders are only for very very specialized people whose skills are not...

Yes to everything, it is not only necessary but also useful to have. A potential employer will appreciate the information. Once you get the evaluation done, in your resume you can put something like this: Education Bachelor of Civil Engineering, University of Pune (2003) Degree assessed by...

Hi, Here's another thread on the same topic: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/costs-of-living-in-toronto-t122754.0.html

I agree with emamabd. With no working permit or PR status it will be very difficult. But if you're in those specialized fields, you should probably try to contact oil/gas companies in Alberta. They seem like they're always looking for people.

Hi, I'm only a fellow immigrant (not an expert) but my understanding is that, if you're a resident in Canada, interest earned at banks abroad is taxable because it's part of "worldwide income". You'd better ask a tax pro.

Hi Amikety, FINALLY, someone who feels the same as me! :) I totally hear you! Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi again canadiara, I've been talking to recruiters here and they all confirmed that an employer would NOT sponsor someone unless the person has very specialized skills that cannot be provided by locals. This is especially true for professional/office jobs. For each open position there are...

...ehr... a "national" from where? You can come visit any time (this is a free country), but please check carefully whether you need a Visitor Visa: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

Here's a video I want to share about this topic. It's from the US but I think it applies here as well: Why Jobs Are Listed After They Are Filled...

Hi canadiara, Thank you for posting your questions. This is my perspective as a fellow job seeker. I'm living in Toronto -I've been here for about one year now and looking for a job for 6-7 months: 1. It's not only the banks that do not respond to job applicants. I find that NO ONE gives me a...

Hi, yesterday and today I received the same message below. The senders' names were Theresa Watson and Connie Wallace and the email address was the same, 000me2@163.com

Getting a degree or diploma or certificate, cheap or not cheap, does not guarantee employment or residency in Canada. Canadian graduates do volunteer work, part-time work and perhaps a couple of weird jobs before finding an entry-level job closer to their field. Then if they are lucky and make...

Hi Bahro, I don't want to discourage you but everything said by others in that thread is the reality, unfortunately. My husband is a Canadian citizen: born & raised in Canada, holding a Canadian university degree. He also has 5 years experience teaching English in Japan and a CELTA degree...

Hi scylla, Thank you very much for your reply. My view is that it takes too long for applicants to fill out online job applications for nothing. I've talked to many people (both immigrants and Canadians born & educated in Canada) and the general feeling is 'if you're lucky enough, they'll call...

Thank you for the info! Good to know!
