Egyptian Citizens inland and outland, let's Connect here

[messiry]

Guys , I know this might not be relevant to the topic. Egyptians already in Canada would probably give a stronger feedback concerning this subject. How difficult it was to land a job in Canada with Egyptian work experience ? Is it true a lot of Canadian employers don't recognise non-canadiana credentials and work experience ? Are there any tips which might help going forward inshallah ?

It depends clearly on your NOC. Personally, I know lots of Egyptian mechanical/software/electrical engineers who settled here and going well with their life. Here is the trick: you should dedicate few months for the hunt. Good plan: your family lands then travels to Egypt until you land a job, decreasing your living costs to a minimum. They can then move to Canada with you.
Better plan: get married after you are already working well.

One very important note: feedback you will hear from people will depend on where they have been before Canada

Egyptians moving from Egypt:
- We got better life, stable future, affordable life expenses.
- We see moderate child education.
-We suffer from Bad weather.
- We have huge cultural shock.
- (they stay on the religious defensive for few months, whatever their religion is, until they realize no Canadian is even paying attention to that part in one's life).
-Reaching the conclusion of "We want to settle here and continue our lives" takes 6 months.

Egyptians moving from Gulf:
- Worse economy (specially if their families are in Egypt, so their expenses were not costly)
- ill payments
- slight Cultural shock for who that were in Dubai or generally worked with internationals
- Better weather
- Better education (specially if their children were in gulf)
- Usually better adaptation for the ones who lived abroad.
Conclusion differs between (I cannot cope - moving back) to (I will stay until I get the passport and move back again).


Egyptians that were in Canada already:
- everything is really ok
- best transition
- i'm livin it already.
conclusion is already drawn before application is even started.

Walid , I appreciate your feedback. I like the break down of Egyptian perspectives

My concern is mainly the gap and the time frame it would take from landing to find a job. I heard that a lot of stories about the Canadian work experience requirements and that foreign credentials would constitute a set back in landing a job.

Hey guys from alexandria wanted to ask,from where can i have english birth certificates and marriage certificates in alexandria or should i just translste and notarize them,also where are some translation offices in alexandria that are recognized by the canadian embassy? Thanks

I translated the birth certificates in the Ministry of Health & the marriage certificate in Ministry of Justice, both of them were recommended by the Canadian Embassy and they're extremely cheap (about 30LE per certificate!)

Nope , Just have them translated with the affidavit. You should also follow the criteria by insuring employer writes job specification and tasks and title and starting period , salary , Company's header and footer (logo) , address , contact details , Officer signature & name

Hello all .. mnawaren wallahi ..very glad to find this forum.. i'm mohammad and i'm a pharmacist currently working in riyadh , i'm quite at the begining entering the next month ielts , but i made an estimation of my expected CRS and it was 440 , looking at the lowest score who got an ITA through the entire past year i found this it was 450 , so i think mine is pretty low ..my quistion is about the PNP (provincial nominee programme) ..i think its my only way to score higher ,so does any one knows which territory can give nomination for pharmacists without having a pre-arranged valid job offer? Also if there are any pharmacists here at any stage of their immigration process i will appreciate to communicate with

it's ok, only difference is that private translators are a bit pricier and you need to attach the translator affidavit with the translation, be sure to ask them if they have a valid (not expired) affidavit, it's your right to see it before paying anything.
