Work in Canada

Finding a job can take time. To succeed in this process, the key is to be prepared!  The fact that you have been accepted to come to Canada does not guarantee you employment in Canada in your preferred profession or any other profession.

Working in Canada can further help you prepare for the Canadian job market by producing a report based on your occupation and a location. It includes information about job descriptions, licensing and certification, wages, skill requirements, language training and job opportunities, and much more.

Finding a permanent job in Canada

Finding a job in Canada may be different from finding a job in your home country. New immigrants face some significant challenges when trying to get jobs in Canada:

• Your credentials may not be recognized.
• Your language skills may not be sufficient.
• You might need Canadian work experience.

You may also need to learn new job search skills, create a new group of contacts and find out what Canadian employers want. 

Work permits for students

It is possible to work in Canada while you are here as a student, and there are opportunities for jobs on and off campus.

Work permit for temporary jobs

It is possible to work temporarily in jobs that help Canadian employers address skill shortages, or to work as live-in caregivers.
