You will be able to get some junior position with that. But you need to get your PR (or other long term working visa) first.

For your profession it does not really matter. It is more about the type of industry you worked in the past.

We are in the process of getting the PR, got ITA already and preparing documents right now..

A bit skeptical about how readily the Canadian recruiters would accept an immigrant for good roles. Any idea about the salary I may expect in kind of role you mentioned and which city would have better opportunities as I have been working in mobile handsets industry..

Salaries depend a bit on area and region. For the junior positions, it would be somewhere 40-55k per year. (somewhere around 3K per month after taxes).

Once you land in Canada.. it is best advisable to take supply chain certification which will make your job search very easier than finishing without having certification.

If you time it’s best things is start studying while you are in process of getting the visa.

Hello,
My CRS score is 448 and I have applied for PR through express entry. In a meanwhile, I am planning to do supply chain certification which would be helpful in getting the job in procurement/strategic sourcing in Canada. Can you suggest which is the best certification for supply chain ? I have 4 years of experience in procurement in power & gas industries. What is the chance of getting the job in supply chain ?

If you go for certification, forget Canadian certifications. Go fo Apics - it is faster and cheaper (less exams and better organized). Most companies are ok with that.
APICS has test centers in Canada and you can then take it and get with it the local ones.
And work his is not different from all around the world (same routine, so there is really not much to it).

Thank you for your reply.
What would be the chances of getting job in supply chain in Canada? Is there sufficient supply chain jobs in Toronto?

And what about CPP ( certified purchasing professional) from IIPMR ?
