How's the job market in Canada?

[blivori]

I will be applying to move to Canada (BC/ON/AB) in the coming months and I would like to know how the job market is in Canada?

I have read conflicting reports, saying it is hard to find a job as an immigrant if you don't have canadian work experience.

Is it really that hard to find a job? I am willing to do any kind of job (not related to my field of expertise/studies) but is it also difficult to find a "quick job" until I find a proper job in my field?

I fear that I would use up all my saved money until I find a job and would need to go back to my home country. I don't mind doing any kind of job as long as it pays enough to allow me to stay in Canada. :'(

Quick jobs? No. They are available everywhere, especially retail. Working in retail will surely open many doors for you. Get your foot in the door, and do network! Good luck.

In general, yes.

Is this relative to all job sectors or specific?

So do you think I will end up not finding a job?

Depends how much saved money you have. Does the saved money grow in time to sustain your life in Canada? Probably not.

As I've mentioned above, quick jobs/survival jobs aren't that hard to get into. You gotta be tough though. It is called a 'survival job' for a reason.

In general, yes.

By 'in general' what do you mean? More say than another EU country?

I will have enough for a single person and maybe a little more, as is the amount required for the express entry.

Most of my friends left Canada since unable to find jobs for a long time.

Blivori.you are standing on the pool side so makeup your mind and get yourself to swim across. Every person has their own way of persueing their goals. Dont put yourself in desperate situation.otherwise no one will be living in canada if their were no jobs. Give a try .its worth trying than not doing at all.this kind of questions will pull you down.good luck with your new life.its not the end of the world for you.canada is a good country .otherwise you wouldnt have struggled all this time to likely move their.

Again depends on your lifestyle. Even so, the money required for the express entry won't last forever and sooner it will drain to nothing if you move to expensive metropolis such as Toronto and Vancouver.

Bring $40000/= we can survive in Canada for one year without jobs. Monthly expenses around $3000/= including house rent. After one year we can decide whether to stay or go back to home country.
