Can we still find a good job in Canada for those above 35 yrs old?

[noeljobstreet]

By the time, I will receive my permanent resident visa, I will already be 36 years old. For those Federal Skilled Workers above 35 years old who landed in Canada, do you think in general we can still find a good job in Canada?

Age of 35 to 45 would not make an impediment for finding a job if there are available job vacancies of your profession, subject to your qualification and experience. Please note that a Canadian experience has always preference.

I think your greatest assets will be your English skills and experience.

Of course you can, I know somebody who is 65y/o and retired here in the philippines went there when he was petitioned by his daughter and now currently working.

May I ask if your profession is regulated, coz if it is then it may take sometime for you to do the kind of job that you have now, but if its not, then I dont think theres any problem with your job hunting.

I second Pippin on that.

And Yes jobs are there but you have to take the right approach...network know people join Coops and then once you have your foot in your journey starts

Carl 128,

My profession is not regulated. I am a BS Masscom graduate and a Master's Degree in Public Management. My work experiences include

1. Partime College Instructor
2. Partime IELTS Reviewer
3. Full time Communication, Advocacy, Public Relations Manager

I hope I can get the same position in Canada

Then that should not be a problem, but of course just like every migrant, most of the time you will start at the bottom and work your way up. Anyway, goodluck to you.

Well there is no visible age discrimination in Canada as its illegal, Education and Skill set is important factor.
