I just want to share my job hunting experience here in Canada.

We landed on July 2012 and luckily, I got a job offer 3 weeks after. I started searching for jobs when I was still in the Philippines. I applied online and sent in a multitude of applications to various companies. When I got here, I had been busy with interviews, both phone and in-person. I also had my share of rejections, of course. That is normal for any job applicant in any country at that. But the good thing is that I am able to land a job in the same industry I was on back home.

It was definitely nerve wrecking during the days I was looking for a job. But thank goodness, the days of waiting for an employer to offer me a job is finally over!

Hard to say...

In order to receive approval to hire you, an employer must prove that they advertised the job and were unable to find a Canadian for the role. The process of advertising the job and then requesting approval to hire you often takes several months - and there's no guarantee the request will be approved. For this reason you'll likely find that some/many employers aren't willing to consider foreign candidates for open roles.

All you can really do is keep sending resumes out (don't be discouraged if you hear nothing back from the majority) and hopefully things will turn out.

Good luck.

I'm kind of curious if Vitomanolo16 has a different start-up experience compared with most landed immigrants here in Canada. I can see in his profile that he's been here since April 17, 2012. I hope everything went well with him.

The reason for my concern is, I can still remember my excitement a couple of months before my family migrated here. I thought I was completely ready for all the challenges. Unlike Vitomanolo16, I was willing to listen to the feedback of others, whether good or bad. I knew then that any information is useful so that I would not be surprised.

When we boarded the plane, I left my ego in my native land, decided to forget that I was at the peak of my career, focused on my priority - to give my children better opportunities and a brighter future. I reminded myself that I prayed for this and that the Lord granted this desire of my heart. Surely He will take care of us and sustain us.

But even then, despite the spiritual and psychological preparation, the stark reality that it is really difficult to start a new life in another country will still hit you. You cannot dodge it, you cannot ignore it, you have to live it.

I don't know about the others but as for me, I felt like I was completely stripped off of my self-confidence after a number of rejections from applying for starting clerical positions. Although I promised to forget what I had back home, I was not able to stop myself. I was asking myself what I'm doing here. I was already managing a branch of a government bank back home. It might not be much compared to what others have, but for me, it was already an achievement. Here I am applying for a billing clerk position and I can't even get it. I decided to apply at Fortino's and Walmart for anything. Still, got nothing. It was beginning to scare me because I'm a solo parent with three kids, no family or relatives here in Canada but just a family friend from back home who were very helpful in finding us a basement apartment to rent.

In a way, something good came out of it. It was a humbling experience and character-building in itself. It made me rely more on God and helped me grow in my faith. I could have gone back home because I haven't completely burned my bridges. I just filed for a 6-month vacation from my work and the VP of my company was still expecting me to go back. But I know that I did this sacrifice for my children and stood firm.

After 6 weeks of continuous job-hunting, the Lord blessed my efforts and finally got a billing clerk position in a trucking and logistics company. After almost two years, a door opened for me in another company with a better position and compensation package.

It's been four years since my family came to Canada. I just wrote my citizenship test on May 1st and waiting for the notice for oath-taking. In a nutshell, yes, life can be difficult in Canada but if you will not forget why you came here in the first place, you can keep the course and stand firm. Life is a series of trade-offs. For me, just looking at how adjusted and happy my kids are here keeps me going.

And God is faithful. If you honor Him, He will surely let you bloom where you're planted. He made Canada my promised land.

So to everyone who's new here in Canada, wherever you are right now and whatever challenges you are facing, stand firm. Don't forget why you came here. Be encouraged and count your blessings everyday. Don't lose the excitement and expectancy. Canada is not perfect but I still believe it's a blessed country. Along the way, let's never allow disappointments and regrets to keep hold of us as this will all lead to bitterness and negativity.

Life is beautiful!!!

Nothing can be so encouraging like this......Thanks for boosting up our mind

What newtone & memikoglan is saying is cent percent correct, there is no dought about that. I have been here for @ 4 months, and experiencing every bit of the story. However, our purpose of migrating is not only the money, neither we are expecting much from Canada. I must agree that, before immigrating, I also had the same feeing what everyone has, that is " It will never happen to me, and I am something special" Here in Canada I met so many highly qualified professionals who are engaged in survival jobs for years and lost the hope of returning to their own field again and I think I am also standing in same the line (Having eng. degree from reputed university, MBA from USA, LEED AP, PMP etc., and worked in four diffent countries). Now I have realized that, immigrating is mostly not for us, but for our kids.

For those who are migrating from third world countries, and those who have nothing to lose, believe me Canada is heaven for them. For example, consider a well settled university professor working in a poor third world country and drawing a handsome salary say US$500-$1000 per month (it is way to much in their respective countries) where thousabds are dying daily due to warfare, no pure water to drink, no healthcare system, no or very less electricty, most of the population is dying due to starvation and desease, no hope for the future of their children, returning home after everyday work is like winning a race, there is no guaranty of life and security. When such pepole migrate to Canada can draw @ $2000 per month even by working as a security guard and gets @ $700-1000 an average per month as child benefit if he has 2-3 kids. Canada is really heaven for such people. If the next person in family is lucky to find a job, that money can be saved.

However, those who migrate from developing/ developed countries, they have much to loose and go mad/depressed when the things (mostly the job) never turned out their way. They must trade off between positive and negative aspects of migrating and be ready to do a lot of sacrifices if they need to do so. And remember, before boarding a plane to Canada, don't forget to leave your ego at your home country, and if you can't do it, don't immigrate. Nonetheless, if you are among those lucky people who land a job in their own field, you will never repent for comming to Canada.

yes, that's true. Canada is like heaven for us. Many Filipina desired to go there, and I am one of them! We are college graduates but really hard to find good job in our country. Can you help me find job there? i really wanted to go there to earn money. Being a nanny, a house helper or a baby sitter is ok.

Firstly thank you memikoglan, I dont think I would have able to say this in a better way

Secondly at Vitomanolo16 by saying things like others might have a better life in Canada you are assuming we have not so good life. Allow me to assume you are standing somewhere in a village with toothpick in your mouth scratching your ass looking at pretty girls pass by, using the common internet cafe shared by 10,000 people in your village and dreaming about coming to Canada someday. So assuming things is not a good idea.

We are not generalizing
We are THE people who have left our careers because people have just told us good things about Canada and kept other things to themselves.
We are THE people who left our business because people have just told us good things about Canada and kept other things to themselves.
We are THE people who thought about our kids because people have just told us good things about Canada and kept other things to themselves.
We are THE people who took a chance with our future because people have just told us good things about Canada and kept other things to themselves.

And you are going to tell us now if you don't have anything good to say keep it to yourself?
If you haven't understood by now we are in fact those people who have already experienced the discrimination, racism and sexism FIRST hand. We are merely telling people the not so good things, and there is nothing wrong with that. When you want to settle in a house you've decided to buy that was formerly occupied by someone else you obviously want to know the good thing and the bad things. People have the choice. Just like a coin a story has two sides because if we dont tell others the truth we would be doing injustice to millions of people including yourself. So please don't take it personally its just facts new immigrants need to know. They are entitled to this fact and facts can be good or bad or both.

.

SO YOU CAME TO CANADA THINKING YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM. I AM GOING TO CANADA AND I AM EXPECTING THE WORST IN TERMS OF DISCRIMINATIONAND RACISM. BUT I KNOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AND EMERGE A WINNER. I AM WELL EMPLOYED HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND KNOWS I WILL LAND A LOWLY JOB. BUT I AM THROUGH WITH MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE. I AM DEALING WITH MY CHILDREN'S FUTURE.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT LET'SNOT DREAM OF BEING EQUALS WITH CANADIANS WHEN WE GO TOTHAT COUNTRY
