How to find jobs in Canada

Monday, August 25, 2008

Depending on your circumstances and how much you are willing to help yourself, there are ways more than one that you may do to get a Permanent Resident Visa and or legally work in Canada.

1. Contact your friends or relatives who are now in Canada. Ask them to help you find a job offer by referring you to their respective employers and other contacts. They are in the best position to help you. Or if applicable, they may help you get a PR Visa through Provincial Nominee Program.

2. Maximize the use of internet and email. Look for job vacancies in Canada that match your profile. Send your resume with a good cover letter. (Here's a free Canada resume guide) There are many job posting sites where you can find job vacancies in Canada. But to avoid scammers like that in the case of OMNI Hotel Scam, I suggest you look for job vacancies from Canada Job Bank, which is a government owned website. You may also want to check these Canada Jobs Online Portals that I highly recommend.

3. Once you find an employer who is willing to hire you, that employer needs to apply for Labor Market Opinion (LMO) from Human Resource Social Development Canada. Your employer will then send you the LMO. There is also a chance that an employer may be willing to sponsor you through Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or process an Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO) for you. (LMO is for work permit application. AEO supports a permanent resident visa application)

4. If you already have the LMO/AEO, you may now file your application for Temporary Resident Visa - Work Permit or Permanent Resident Visa at the the Visa Office near you. To check which Visa Office may handle your application, click here


Filipino workers
who already have a Labor Market Opinion (LMO) and need assistance on filing an application for Temporary Resident Visa - Work Permit, may email me at aapuntar@go2canada.com. We will guide you throughout the process and will help you get a higher chance of approval.

Hi. If I'm in the US, do I have a better chance of landing a job in Canada? I'm a nurse by profession by the way.

Apol said...

Hi Jane! If you are a registered nurse and with at least 4 years of related work experience, have an IELTS Score of 7 in all areas and willing to get your credentials assessed by CARNA, you may have a great change of being selected by our partner employer in Alberta. Please email your resume if you are interested.

Apol said...

Hi Emil.

You have a chance, of course. But the thing is you will be competing with many others who already have experience. Employers normally prefer those with experience.

bedchina said...

As a caregiver, is it ok to have 1 year experience only. what is the chance of getting approved by the immigration officer if i already have a positive LMO? please advise.

Apol said...

Having an LMO is one thing. Getting a work permit and Visa is another. The decision will be based on your education, experience and other factors. You may email me at aapuntar@go2canada.com should you need an assistance.

You need a job offer (LMO) before you may apply for a work permit.

Apol said...

^^ Yes, just try sending your resume to prospective employers with job vacancies related to your skills and experience.

Peachy,

Your occupation is not included in the high demand list. You need a job offer. Check this Canada Jobs Portal and for job vacancies where you may qualify.

Hello, my name in Veronica and I am a Pharmacist in the Philippines, and has worked as a Pharmacy Assistant in the USA. I want to apply for Permanent Resident to Canada under Federal Skilled Worker Program and I am exploring ways to obtain Arranged Employment Opinion. I am hoping that someone here can help me find that elusive Canadian employer for dear job offer.

I appreciate any information that you might have that will possibly lead me to obtain AEO. My email is rona0213@aol.com.
