For students who see their studies abroad, as the first step towards immigration, Canada, perhaps, one of the most favorable countries in the world. Every year, Canadians issue a residence permit to thousands of qualified specialists from around the world, and new amendments made by the government in migration legislation make resettlement to Canada for international students even more reachable. There are many ways to extend your stay in Canada after graduation. We understand how to do it.

Preparation for obtaining work permit (Post-Graduate Work Permit)

Starting to prepare for the extension of your visa or obtaining a new status costs as early as possible. Your employment status, education level, profession and location in Canada will be decisive factors that will determine how successful your application will be. To begin with, you should apply for work permit after graduation (Post-Graduate Work Permit). It is necessary to act quickly, documents for the application for this permission are taken for consideration within 3 months after graduation.

Students may apply for this status from abroad, which successfully completed the curriculum in Canada. The term of such permission usually corresponds to the time spent on the curriculum, but cannot exceed 3 years. In order to be able to get a temporary work permit in Canada, you need to study in the country on a program that lasts at least 8 months (this allows you to get a work permit to many students who have passed the advanced training programs).

The next step to residence permit - we get the status of an experienced employee (Canadian Experience Class)

After you work in Canada, a total of a year, you have the right to claim the status of an experienced employee (but only if you do not live in Quebec). CANADIAN EXPERIENCE CLASS (CEC) is designed specifically for workers who have extensive experience in their professional field and own English or French at a sufficient high level to communicate on it at work.

To submit documents for this permission, you do not need to have an invitation to work, but you can make your application already been employed in Canada. CEC status traditionally becomes the next step for foreign students who have gained working experience in Canada after graduation, and now they want to put roots in the country more thoroughly. Applications for this status are accepted by Express Entry.

Another way to get a residence permit - find your calling in one of the Canadian provinces (Provincial Nominee Programs)

Canadian provinces constantly require experienced employees in a wide variety of areas, and often they resort to foreign students to fill empty vacancies. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) works in all Canadian provinces, and they all put forward different requirements for candidates. Most often you will need to live for some time in the province to be able to participate in the program, so many international students choose this direction if they want to continue working in the same region in which they passed their studies.

I think most of our readers are interested in the issue of employment, because high salaries in Canadian dollars are one of the main benefits of living abroad.

So, suppose you learned English, collected, then a few years of the efforts and here you are the owner of the cherished crust of foreign (or college). Maybe you already have education and knowledge of the English language, in any case, this article will be useful for those who want to find legal work in the specialty. (We considered work for the cache)

Having completed the educational institution, you made an invaluable contribution to the economy of Canada! After all, international students are a very advantageous enterprise, since we pay at least twice as much more than local. In order to attract applicants, most colleges have their own representative offices in different countries of the world. (On the benefits of training in Canada we spoke in)

In the eyes of an educational institution, any foreigner is more attractive than a local resident. In the case of college, no knowledge is checked at all, they take absolutely all who are able to pay for their studies. That is why most agencies that help execute documents in Canada are trying to decline to the college variant.

As for the work, no one will give you any guarantees, in the end, you are not paying money, but you. Cashflow turned in the opposite direction. The time of returning the investment, the moment of truth in which the mysterious power of the crust will be revealed and all the doors of the career stairs will be revealed.

At the same time, it is absolutely justified to count on a proportional return of invested money and forces, ideally, as soon as possible. In practice, most international students experience difficulties in finding a workplace. It happens that the search for good work can take up to 6-8 months.

Difficulty in employment

Why, despite positive economic growth, exceeding all developed countries so hard to find a good job in Canada? The answer lies in one of the main reasons for the very growth. In the past few years, the situation with the search for work was noticeably complicated due to the unprecedented influx of immigrants. Over the past three years, annual immigration has increased by more than 100%.

Increased influx of immigrants

The fact of the great popularity of Canada in the world is not negative, moreover, it brings significant income to the state, which leads to the prosperity of the economy. Most immigrants are refugees, students and qualified employees who received permanent residence.

Most immigrants are forced to file starting positions, as they have no local education or work experience. Consequently, competition for such places has grown significantly, since in the same time the time of employers has not become twice again.

Do not forget that migration in Canada is not only external, but also internal. From small cities and towns, people are also trying to find work in major economic centers, such as Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. Especially now when oil prices significantly decreased, people from the country's oil areas go to centers, where the economy is not so tied to raw materials.

Risks of the employer

Reception for the work of the immigrant is always accompanied by a number of risks for the employer.

  • Firstly, He never knows that you can cross in your head there and you suddenly decide to go home.
  • Secondly, There are significant legal risks, such as you unexpectedly deprive visas and you need to come back to home.
  • Thirdly, You grew up in another country and who knows how you can adapt to the local mentality and join the working team. A new workplace is without the stress for most people, and here you still have gathered to work in an unfamiliar country in a native language. The output is very simple - get local work experience any ways (the importance of this fact cannot be exaggerated). Start getting your experience as soon as you arrived.

We start looking for. What is necessary for success.

Tip: Do not count on a quick result.Finding good work This time-consuming and not always a pleasant process. If you happened to find something fast, then you are a big one! But do not despair if the search for work was stretched for several months, such a situation is normal in the current labor market.

So, how to quickly find the opportunity to "catch"? Next, we will analyze all stages of job search and specific actions that are necessary for the successful completion of this process.

Tighten English.

Guys, train the language. If you think that, just because you began to live in Canada and started a couple of English-speaking friends, it will not happen. Constantly expand your vocabulary, learn to write and beautifully express your thoughts. In any career if you are going to go far enough language can be your limit.

  • Try to surround yourself by the company English-speaking acquaintances
  • Sign up to the local club toast masters. It will help you in public speeches and will expand the circle of dating.
  • how already mentioned earlier
  • Read books in English

We compile a successful summary

At first glance, everything is clear here, you should list your merits in electronic format, send the file this and wait. But in practice, a lot of people make mistakes at this stage of search. First, in Canada there are certain rules that should be adhere to when drafting a summary, and secondly there are secrets that will help you successfully go through the first stage of selection and move to the telephone interview.

  • In the summary should not be your photo
  • You should not list all the work experience, you must specify only relevant responsibilities.
  • Do not specify the full address (write without apartments) this employer knows not necessarily
  • Serve resume B. PDF format
  • Summary should not be more than one page, everything should be briefly and in the case
  • Always bring the printed version of the summary for the interview (sometimes asked)

We get local experience

You just arrived or graduated from an educational institution and you have no local experience. How to get this experience if it requires the same experience. Some kind of vicious circle. But you should not despair, there is a way out.

The best option will be the search practice ( internship.), at least partial worker, get ready for the first time to work for free. (At least a few months) it is very important to start collecting local portfolio and recommendations as quickly as possible. Frequently free positions are offered in startups. (Where to look for we disassembled)

Volunteering Also suitable, you can find a lot of vacancies where professionals are required with designer skills, marketer or manager. (An article how to find volunteering) Start with a small one, within volunteer organizations there is the same organizational structure as in business, so this experience can be very useful. In addition to the "stinging" of its resume, you can also get connections that will require you in the future.

Try to find something in sales or service ( service sector). This is not the most straight, but the same way. It will help pull up English and earn money. It should be noted that in this version you will become the same with competition, so the search may take some time. Suppose some Call Center for part-time. Even working not in its specialty, you show the employer that you are familiar with the corporate structure and you will not have to teach the basic basics of office etiquette. Plus, it will help you to gain office slang.

Prepare answers for interview

The passage of interviews is quite a predictable process that requires you due preparation. 90% of the questions are repeated from time to times and you can prepare for them. No one needs improvisation. We disassembled the most common questions.

  • Spend a small study, look the site of the company
  • Remit competitors companies
  • What is her value and what business goal
  • Eliminate information about the manual, find them on social networks, sometimes they are postwilling information about your business

Do not be afraid of bringing with me writing with key things you want to mention or questions that interest you. In any case, the preparation will make a good impression on the employer.

  4. If you are comfortable in a fairly large company, then at the last stage you will talk to the leader, here you are more evaluated simply as part of the team and the conversation is about goals and expectations and so on.

What professions in the labor market are in high demand where you will be taken with "hands and legs"?

Medsistra

When it comes to the most necessary jobs in Canada, then nurse (Medbrew) can rightly lead this rating. Two main factors stimulate demand for more nurses.

The first is that Baby boomers Reach retirement age. As a result, it is expected that more and more nurses that are part of this generation will soon leave work. In 2014, the average age of registered nurses (pH) in Canada was almost 43 years. Thus, approximately half of the working force of the pH ranges from 43 to 65 years. In addition, a significant amount of pH is retired until it is 65 years old.

The second important factor that stimulates the demand for nurses is a common aging population Canada. Older people tend to have higher health care needs. Thus, as Baby Boomers continue to be age, the demand for medical care will grow, resulting in new jobs. In fact, from 2015 to 2024 in the country there may be a shortage of more 25 000 registered nurses countrywide.

The pH is necessary in each province and territory. For example, the nurse is considered the most demanded profession in Ontario. For a five-year period from 2015 to 2020, more than 5,000 new jobs will appear in this province. Demand also grows in small villages of Canada and remote communities. In areas where there is no limited access to therapists, the pH often take on the role of primary health care providers. Thus, this work is definitely a variant that can offer many features in almost every corner of the country.

  • Average hourly salary - $ 36
  • The highest paid provinces and territories - Nunavut, North-West Territories and Saskatchewan

Truck driver

The Canadian economy relies in many respects on truck drivers, as well as with nurses they are aging, and there are not many people who want to start a trucker's career. In 2014, the average age of truck drivers was almost 47 years old. Thus, approximately half of the workforce operating on trucks is between the ages of 47 and 65. This means that a significant number of workers will retire in the coming decades. That is why in the period from 2015 to 2024 the country needs 27,000 truckers.

Driving a truck is at the top of the list of demanded quarry, which is in demand in BC. From 2017 to 2027, in the province can be created about 9,000 jobs For truck drivers. And this is only one province. Canada is a big country. Truck drivers are needed almost everywhere to connect settlements and transport goods.

Some districts depend on truck drivers much more than others. For example, those who are at a significant distance. Residents of these areas often remain only to count on truck drivers. For them, this is the only source of food and products. Thus, becoming a truck driver, you take an important role in the prosperity of the country.

  • Areas and areas with high demand - Manitoba, New Brunswick, New Scotland, Ontario, Quebec and Yukon
