Is it not possible to get a job offer without living in Canada ?

[alpinisttt]

Hi guys,

I am a materials engineer (Master's Deg.) , and also i have an international welding engineer certificate. I worked many years in a plant in different production departments.
1)Do you think that it is not possible to get a job offer without living in Canada?
2)if it seems "not possible", what do you suggest?
a)applying to express entry and waiting a job offer through job bank
b)learning french as 2nd foreign language, so i can increase my total points;
c)Being enrolled to a language school in Canada for 6 months. Therefore, i can look for the jobs there .
d)Being enrolled to an university for getting a M. Sc. Degree. Therefore i will have enough time to look for a job. Eventually , getting residence permit.
However i am 35 (already have a master degree in my country and worked many years) and i feel old to start a new master program.

What do you suggest to me for achieving to immigrate to Canada? In the end, i wanna work and live in Canada?

Thanks

Recruiters usually shy away from offering job to someone they have not met in person. However, it is possible to get a job from overseas if you know someone who can vouch for you and connect you with people who make hiring decisions. I personally dont see any other way to get a job without being in the place physically.

I have heard the same thing from many of my other friends. I am currently in the US and recently got Canada PR. I have been looking for a job since last three to four months, no luck so far.

Leaving the current job and moving to Canada without a job offer is also risky, but not sure how many people do it.

Immigration is a risk and not for the fainthearted.

You say this as if it mattered. It doesn't... or well at least not too much. Unless your years/education are Canadian (or at least in an English speaking country) then I would suggest not thinking this makes a difference in the marketplace.

1)Do you think that it is not possible to get a job offer without living in Canada?

Possible? Yes. Unlikely though.

2)if it seems "not possible", what do you suggest?
a)applying to express entry and waiting a job offer through job bank
b)learning french as 2nd foreign language, so i can increase my total points;
c)Being enrolled to a language school in Canada for 6 months. Therefore, i can look for the jobs there .
d)Being enrolled to an university for getting a M. Sc. Degree. Therefore i will have enough time to look for a job. Eventually , getting residence permit.
However i am 35 (already have a master degree in my country and worked many years) and i feel old to start a new master program.

a) Sure.
b) Sure.
c) This is basically illegal.
d) Most solid bet. Nonetheless also looking for a job is illegal.

What do you suggest to me for achieving to immigrate to Canada? In the end, i wanna work and live in Canada?

a) Study, finish your studies and then find a job.
b) Keep looking for jobs from abroad.
c) Keep yourslef in express entry.

And overall do not attempt on anything illegal.

I think you need to manage your expectations. Look for junior jobs that will give you Canadian experience. Then after a few years of building a name you will be able to get a better job.

Yes, I am doing the same thing - initially I got negative responses as I was overqualified and my salary expectations were high. I have lowered those and currently my most important goal is to get a job, even if it is temporary and salary enough for me to survive. Once in Canada, I can always build my way up.

Agree, but the risk has to be calculated and not everyone has the same situation.

There is absolutely nothing illegal about looking for a job while in Canada as a student or visitor.
