Job market questions
The major question you must answer before start searching a job in Canada is “What kind of job exactly you are looking for?”
If you choose one of the first two options, you will have to spear some time for studying. If you were a physician, a teacher or an engineer, do not think that you will start working immediately after your arrival. Do not waste your time in sending CVs for such positions. Even if they call you for an interview, the probability that you will be hired without a Canadian Equivalent or a License is the same as to win a Jackpot from the lottery. It is better to get familiar with the tests which you will have to pass in order to be issued an equivalent of your diploma in Canada, to see where you must make this exams and how much time it will be needed for the whole procedure.
If you decide to try a new profession, the perfect options for you are the professional courses organized by The Ministry of education. The list of these courses may be found in your local employment center. At these centers you will receive directions for the available course programs, and if your language proficiency in English or French is not at high level, you will have the possibilities to attend language courses free of charge. All this takes around a year, but usually after that you have training in a firm where you can be hired with a contract if your performance is at a good level.
If you want to start working right away and if you are unpretentious, it will be better to go to the factories where for an hour wage of 8 to 12 dollars you will work something without required qualification. Such positions are also Pizza and food delivery, telephone sales etc. If you do not like your job, you can change it any time with another.
But for all of you who can not bear any more to spend Sunday hating the coming Monday, and to live for the two-week holidays per year, we say: Do not wait for the day when someone will offer you a better job as a free gift. Canada is enormous country with enormous possibilities, but miracles do not happen here.
Of course, you will ask: To endure or to control my carrier? The plans concerning the carrier must not be limited within “to have a good job and to receive sufficient amount of money in order to have whatever you want”. When somebody really wants to control his/her carrier, the person must be more precise, stricter and in most of the cases more patient.
