Find a Job in Canada
When you’re new to Canada, there are a lot of factors to take into consideration when you start looking for work.
You might be wondering:
Do I need special certification?
Do I need to know French or English?
How do I find a job in the first place?
Working temporarily with a work permit Canada ?
In Canada, most jobs require one or both of these languages—it depends on where you live. You might have an easier time finding work in Quebec if you speak French, but Alberta is more English-speaking. There are also some major Canadian cities that are bilingual, so having either language under your belt can only help.
If you’re looking for a job in the health care field, it’s best to apply for certification as soon as possible. In general, you can find all the information and requirements online at Government of Canada’s website, which also has a wealth of other resources available to newcomers.
Working temporarily with a work permit Canada ?
If you want to work in Canada, you need to have a work permit. You need a job offer from an employer in Canada before you can apply for a work permit.
Your employer must get a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to hire you. A Labour Market Impact Assessment is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker.
A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker is available to do the job.
Some people do not need an LMIA. They can get what is called an “exemption” from this requirement.
You must also meet some other requirements.
