Greetings,
For some of you interested in coming to Saskatchewan or recently landed in Saskatchewan, i will like to encourage you to register in the mentorship programme with the Saskatchewan intercultural organization.
http://www.saskintercultural.org/programs/employment/mentorship-project
Apart from the fact that it is completely free of charge, you also get the following;
1) Excellent mentorship training such as how to act in Canadian workplace, understanding Canadian accents, Free First aid & CPR trainings etc.
2) A regular Personal Training allowance (PTA) from the Government of Saskatchewan till you get a job (between $600 - $1300 monthly depending on your family size)
3) An internship job placement in your occupation line after your training to give you relevant Canadian experience (80% of placement employers actually retain the interns).
4) Life insurance during your internship
5) A $200 cheque to buy any book or take any exams of your choice to enhance your job search.
I must add that it isn't an all comers affair... they take between 10-12 people every quarter. you can get more details from their website.
I actually attended this last year before i got my current job.
All the best guys !
PS: Pls give me a +1 if you find this post useful ;D
