Hey guys, I need some advice.
I’m currently doing my last year degree on Bachelor of commerce(Major in Accounting and Finance) in Australia. Hopefully I will graduate in this coming December.

I am wondering whether it’s easy to get a job in Canada as a fresh graduate.
I can speak English, 3 different Chinese languages (Mandarin, Cantonese and Taiwanese), and Malaysian Language. I only had 2 months of job experience from internship as a business advisor.
Also I’m taking CFA level 1 exam soon, not sure whether that helps since I am no way close to Chartered.

Is it possible that I get a job offer before I landed on Canada? Because I don’t feel comfortable going to Canada without job offer.
Please advise me on this matter

Are you a Canadian citizen / Canadian permanent resident?

It's typically quite difficult for foreign workers to obtain jobs in Canada. Even more difficult for new graduates. In order to be approved to hire you, a Canadian employer must prove they have advertised the role and were unable to find a Canadian to fill the role - and for this reason have to hire a foreign worker for the position. Unless your skills or experience are highly specialized, it's typically difficult to prove no Canadians could be found to fill the role.

Are you Australian (i.e. hold an Australian passport)? If so, then I would check out the working holiday program for Australians:

If you're accepted into the program, Canadian employers will be able to hire you without having to try to hire a Canadian first.
