Security Jobs

[lagoon]

Hi Everyone,

how easy is it to get a job in the security field after landing in Canada ? thats without any experience in the above field, except for being a graduate and fluent in English, I have seen quite a number of ads in newspapers advertising for the same, some agencies provide training others want trained guards, my main aim for starting this thread is to scout for at least survival to start with. Apprecate all your replies

thanks

1. U need to partake a trg pgme & be 'licensed'.
2. Costs around $300-500, depending on the inst.
3. No previous exp is required, though preferred.
4. Many newcomers take that route, initially.
5. Security jobs r galore -- and pays well too.
6. There were many members here who took night shifts & pursued daytime studies in their field.
7. One of them 'owns' a security company today [he had owned one in his homeland as well].
8. One prominent org providing trg is: http://www.ontariosecuritytraining.com/
9. There r very large orgs handling security here, e.g. Group-4, Paragon, Brinks etc.
10. Many of them would train u internally as well, of course@an adnl cost.
