Hi CVIF123, have you applied to any related jobs? was there any particular reason why they rejected your application? Do you have any affiliation with local bodies? Or any certifications?

Firstly, some kind of recession here in Canada, oil price low, too much competition at this moment.

Second, it's difficult to get a job without local experience , international experience not considered

Thirdly, Still suffering from jobs those who already had local education and certification

yes, might be possible with local network but there should be a open position.

the interns are mostly for people who are proceeding their degree. If they allow people who don't have jobs to go with interns, that would be prefect, but most cases we need to go with 'contracted' jobs.

CVIF123 did you try to get a provisional P.Eng. or Engineer in Training License from any of the engineering regulatory bodies (PEO, APEGA. APEGBC)? Were you able to land any interviews?
