Thanks a lot vicky4frendz and Preferred, I actually got an interview call today. Surprise!!! :o for the first time since March my CV was not sent to the rubbish bin! it was from an NGO that needs arab speaker for community activities. However, my McDonnel Douglas is waiting to collect my...

Interesting video. It is very much possible to find a sales job for bilinguals paying 1800$ in Montreal, but you have to live in constant stress that you will be kicked out if you do not sell a given number of products everyday. And you have to be ready when customers send you to hell as they...

Rifiel, thanks for your encouragement but credential evaluation does not have importance. I do not need it as my profession is not regulated/licensed. I just submitted it as I had nothing to do when I arrived anyway ;D All employees in my call centre had this evaluation yet were working outside...

I would be delighted to take post doc but postdoc is not common for social sciences, it is more relevant to sciences. In the past 2 years, I have not seen even one post doc post in economics in Canada. Believe me I have already applied to everything I could. There is no college, bank or...

I believe it was 3 months from landing when I checked it last time. That help will barely cover your rent. The only way to survive on benefits is to make a couple of babies, but I am not sure such method attracts you :D

No I am not blond with blue eyes, you think it would have helped to be like that? ;D I never believed in land if opportunities, I only regard Canada as a safe place to live because it is the closest ally to the US therefore cannot be easily aggressed. I never expected a brilliant career here ;)

Dear It is already my 5th month here ;D I never lose confidence in myself, I only lose confidence in the so called western democracy and free market :D

Ievgen, Academic job in my field does not need liecense. However, there are no vacancies now. In december recruitment will start for September 2014, but there are only 6 universities in Montreal. My specialty is intrtnational finance. The probability that there will be a lectureship in intl...

Well it is a standard situation. If you check the section "finding job in canada" on this forum you will see that there are many of us. Even IT specialists who worked in large multinationals are suffering. I am in Montreal and I have not tried outside, because I cannot live in a rural place. I...

Hi Stylove, My profession is not regulated, it is economist and university teacher. No need for evaluation. However, I submitted for evaluation comparative of my degrees and it will take about a year to get results given current processing time :o

Hi Geochaddy, It is easy to find housing - just watch kijiji.com and phone the numbers to view the flat. I was working 2 months in call centre but quit because you get almost a minimum wage pay, almost zero respect from clients and constant pressure to make sales. I am going home this sunday...

Exactly. BIQ doubted that I worked as auditor as I do not have accounting background. So they asked me during the interview questions on this.

Justin Bieber??? :o

No worries, it is none of anybody's business to call your employer. Quebec already checked your work history and CIC has to respect this. You should worry about your countries' security service. When CIC sends them request to confirm that you have no criminality record, pray that they do checks...

I have not applied to cashier in MacDonalds, but applied as cashier to banks and never got response to my applications. I get immediate interview invitations to my applications to call centres though, both outsource call centres and within-company centres :D or probably they call me out of...

It is for federal skilled workers - they call employers. Not for QSW, because they are not supposed to verify our professional qualifications. It has already been done by Quebec immigration bureau. CIC Only checks medicals and criminal record.

Call centre job is relatively easy to get but not that easy to survive. I got a call centre job 3 weeks after landing in montreal but could not stay there more than 2 months. I will explain why: The first reason is that you are forced to sell a certain quota per day. I was working in customer...

Good job! One comment - Quebec interviewers do not mention the word "Canada" and nowhere in the Quebec immigration site you will see it except in the section about how to apply for passport. My suggestion to everybody is not to mention "Canada" at interview at all, otherwise they may think that...
