Question About "Canadian Experience"

[hell911]

i have few questions about canadian experience, pls answer all of them..

1. are cash jobs without OCWP considered canadian experience? so can u list them in the resume/CV?
2. jobs in gas stations, factory, etc. , do these consider canadian experience? so if employer asks you "do you have canadian experience", can you tell him about these jobs?
3. what is the difference of working with OCWP with SIN and without SIN?
4. do "online work" consider canadian experience, lets say you earn per hour.

1. are cash jobs without OCWP considered canadian experience? so can u list them in the resume/CV?
haha if ur paying taxes for cash jobs and if u have legal work permit then yes they r experience.however they may not count towards ur PR. I am not sure about all PNPs but atleat under CHC u cannot use experience which is not a skilled worker(NOC O,A,B). Another thing it should be a fulltime workexperience and part time does not qualify for CHC
2. jobs in gas stations, factory, etc. , do these consider canadian experience? so if employer asks you "do you have canadian experience", can you tell him about these jobs?
it is experience but not relevant experience so even if u say i have gas station experience and ur applying for a electricians job that wont count. Getting the point? what use it ur canadian experience for the employer if it is not in ur field. Ur gas station experience will count if ur applying for a gas station job
3. what is the difference of working with OCWP with SIN and without SIN?
i dont think u can work without SIN unless its illegal ...u need SIN to pay taxes. That means ur avoiding taxes . even though ur legal in immigration view point ur breaking tax law which could be risky.
4. do "online work" consider canadian experience, lets say you earn per hour.
again will u be paying taxes? will they issues tax docuemnts to u at the end of year? also will it be relevant to the job u will be applying to(ur field)? ......for PR purpose will that job description fall in NOC O,A,B? will it be full time work?

so basically, we need to apply for SIN and OCWP to work legally.

im actually asking for "JOBS" purposes, the questions listed above. not for PR purposes. if these "part time" jobs will help me get a job in my field (after graduation)?

- after my graduation, of course i will get a job in my field.

most likely part time job at a gas station wont help u find a job in ur field ...but it will help u if u want to find a gas station job. SO relevance of the job matters. when an employer looks at your resume he will look for relevant jobs .

ok..

- so we can do part time jobs (not relevant to field) during our studies to gain money only.
will not affect our resume when we apply after graduation.
will gain experience (but not relevant to field, useless)

- co-op will be useful since we can get a relevant job during our studies, and after graduation, we already have experience.

all correct???

1. Cash jobs are illegal. You can't put them on your resume.
2. If you are applying for a job at a Canadian bank and all you have in terms of Canadian work experience is experience at a gas station, there is really not point mentioning this experience. They are looking for experience that is related to the job you're applying for.
3. Work without a SIN is illegal. You can't put this work on your resume.
4. It depends what you're doing online. Often this work is not really considered by employers because you're working online and not with coworkers in a real business environment. But again, it depends what you're doing online.

yes but coop doesnt guarantee u a job u still have to find a job for coop ( i am not sure about ur college but i dont think any colleges guarantees a job). you r the one who has to find a coop job too. its a catch 22 no job without experience and no experience without job.......one way out is u volunteer for a job that is relevant to ur field this is rare but could work. So even though it wont pay u it may help u later to find a job in ur field.

Hahahaha missing ur home
Wanna deport...
Cash jobs r only for earning smthing during study
If u dont have sin nd not paying tax every work is illegal
If u r working in an indusry as a mechanical worker
Nd doing any course in engg field
industry giving u cash nd ur not paying tax
Even u cant use tht experience it doestnt mttr tht is relative to ur course
Only thing which consider tht s legal or illegal...

 

[hell911]

i found a job online, which pays $13 per hour.. it is not related to my field. (not illegal)

do you think i should go for this job instead of working at gas stations/factories/etc... ?
